To login to the router via JSON-RPC you will need software capable of sending '''HTTP POST''' requests to the router. The simplest solution is to install an add-on similar to Firefox’s "'''Poster'''" (download link '''[https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/poster/ here]'''). The add-on can then be launched it by opening the Mozilla Firefox browser and pressing '''Ctrl+Alt+P'''.

First, you must obtain a '''Session ID'''. In order to do so, you must send an HTTP POST request to the router asking for it. Enter the router's IP address into the URL field (use this format: '''http://192.168.1.1/ubus'''). Or if you wish to log in remotely, enter the '''WAN''' IP address instead.

Enter the router's user name and password into the '''User Auth.''' field. Then paste the following command into the '''Content to send''' field and click '''Post''':
