Do you get an error? It hangs? Or what? By the way, is $router_username or $router_pass set? To what? Or, if you don't want to tell us, can you please at least protect router_pass (which might perhaps have special characters) from the shell, as in wget -q -O - "http://$router_username:$router_pass@192.168.1.1/Status_Router.asp" What shell are you running this in, by the way? Bash?
