DrayTek routers have a feature that allows administrators to disable factory reset and wireless buttons. This can be useful on sites to prevent customers from accidentally pressing the Wi-Fi button that can disable wireless functionality on the router.

This option is available in the Vigor2765/2766, Vigor2865/2866, Vigor2926/2927 routers running latest firmware.

Disabling the Vigor Router Buttons

Navigate to [System Maintenance] > [Panel Control]. Under the [Button] tab, uncheck the Enable option for the buttons of your choice.

Even with buttons disabled, they still can activate the LEDs from Sleep Mode as illustrated in this guide, but can't be used for the wireless nor factory reset purposes.

Note 1. Enabling or disabling wireless still can be applied from the WUI of the router [Wireless LAN] > [General Setup].

Note 2. Factory reset option can be selected from the [System Maintenance] > [Reboot System] page ('Using factory default configuration').

CLI option:

Use the router's Web Console, Telnet or SSH and enter the following command to enable or disable the wireless button:

wl btnctl [value] (Disable: 0, Enable:1)

For example to disable the WLAN ON/OFF/WPS button, type

wl btnctl 0

The current status of the button should be updated shortly:
