Looking to edit some html setup pages for my router

[canadianpsycho]

OK, so I want to edit the html code for one of my router's web based interface pages (trying to enable a disabled feature)

I can see the code if I "view source" in either IE or Firefox, but I can't figure out how to edit it. I usually use FlashFXP to edit html/xml for my Xbox, but not sure how I could connect and edit the router.

Any tips?

chances are you can't. What you need to do is edit the code and the upload the file to the flash or nvram of the router and replace the existing file. If the page is dynamic (created by perl, asp. java, etc) then you would have to modify the script. I would question doing this, as you chance of screwing up the router are pretty hefty, if you can do it at all.

All I'm doing is trying to enable a function that is normally enabled by the router. The latest (and most stable) firmware has disabled it.

I've tried using a hex editor on the firmware, but it still doesn't let me pick the option after flashing... Viewing the source of the page post hexedit still shows the line is "removed"

Can't you just connect to the router via terminal or telnet?

Ignore the gui and do your business with whatever command you want?

I tried FTPing... As for terminal or telnet I'm not totally sure.

Dreamweaver should work. Just save the html file to your computer and edit it and then upload it to the router via ftp.

i think nweaver is right......i know with the linksys wrt54g routers with the 3rd party firmware the html is embedded into the firmware, you would need the source code to change this then recompile it I would imagine.

I dont recommend it. I tried it once and screwed up my config page. I had to reset the whole thing again but after awhile it became annoying. Good luck man!
