   looks like it could work, if you've changed the admin passwords on your   
   radios you'll need to update the script. if not you probably should.   
      
   one reason why rebooting may help is if you skipped the firmware   
   release early this year, your radios may be being subverted by IOT   
   malware. (there was a more recent patch for wifi insecurity - that   
   should be applied too.
