What about this? Would it work?
* Right click on the network manager icon before any connection is
attempted,
* Select Edit Connections
* Select Wireless
* Click Add
* Manually configure your connection:
* SSID
* IPv4 Settings set to manual with fixed IP
* Security settings as per the router's defaults
* Save it
* Connect
* Configure the router
* Once configured, go back to connection settings and delete the
manually configured connection
* Re-connect the normal way
And in theory, no reboot required!
I know it works with a wired connection but I've never actually tried
with a wireless one as I haven't configured a router from scratch in a
long time. If you do that regularly, I'd be quite interested in knowing
whether this works.
