The router is on until you pull the power, there is no non physical way of turning it off.
You can however pull the power at any point you aren't actively writing to the filesystem.
thanks for your reply... i was afraid of such an answer... the problem is, that i want to shutdown the router remotely.. i dont think the router has something like a sleep function (aka cheap acpi). someone know, how much current the wl500 draws?
Use a relay... it's pretty simple to build. And you can control it with GPIO.
Linksys WRT54GS v1.1 takes about 170mA with WIFI off for 16V, 250mA with wifi on.
