Hi Smile

I have installed DD-WRT (firmware: DD-WRT v3.0-r40559) on my GL-iNet router (GL-AR150). The router works fine, but no commands can be executed under Administration/Commands. When I press Run Command after entering a command, a window with Processing appears which disappears again after a short time nothing happens, no command is executed and you don't see anything. Does anyone know the problem and has a solution for it.


Thank you

The router database is not updated, this is a known given. Please refer to the forum rules and guidelines as well as the installation wiki in my signature. Please consider upgrading to the current release:

https://download1.dd-wrt.com/dd-wrtv2/downloads/betas/2021/05-26-2021-r46772/GL.iNet-AR150/

It also helps if you use a separate browser to access the webUI; perferably Firefox ESR / FF ESR Portable or Pale Moon / Pale Moon Portable. Also, you should consider running commands via ssh or telnet; ssh preferred with key login.

I have no idea how the Run Commands functionality is implemented in the router. But dd-wrt users sooner or later come to learn that it doesn't work as expected. It's just plain goofy and best avoided. Stick w/ ssh or telnet, which are known quantities.

What command(s) are you trying to run?
From my experience, if you are trying to run a simple command with a simple output, it usually works. But if you are trying to run something more complex you could generate an script and run it either as a custom script, or other script, or with all the script loaded into the command window.
Therefore, to know which command(s) you tried to execute it will allow us to try to replicate the behaviour on other builds or on your same build.
