Wireless Login Assistant

Currently at our hotel, we're required to login to the wireless portal once per 24 hour period

In order for our network to work correctly, I have the WAN port of our gateway connected to an ASUS consumer-grade router in wireless repeater mode, connected to the hotel wireless network.

This script will basically do the following:

• Reboot the router (this is basically to buy time. If duplicate MACs are present, blockage)
• Bring down the @Wireless connection
• Assign the MAC address from the ASUS router 2.4ghz radio to local wifi adapter
• Bring up wireless on ESAconnect network
• Curl two endpoints to simulate logging in
• Bring down ESAconnect
• Bring up @Wireless

This happens once per 24 hours, controlled by systemd timers.

Backup of ASUS router config stored in the git as well, in case it gets hacked (not super secure)
