Can someone point me towards a guide on using the terminal over SSH / Telnet? I'm able to connect over SSH without any problem but can't figure out what to do next.

What I want to do is disable (and re-enable) my wi-fi over my remote SSH connection. In other words the commands that are equivalent to
Wireless > Basic Setup > Wireless Network Mode = Disable

Thanks

I don't know the exact commands right of hand, but you don't really need to use the command line. If you already have remote SSH enabled, just create SSH tunnel into the HTTP port of the router. Then you connect to the UI and disable/enable wifi from there.

yes, but that is not all the UI does. If you do wl radio off and reboot the router, the radio will come back on. If you disable it from the UI, it won't.
