It's a quick script, <10sec - on Ubuntu. With arch on same pc it will 
run for 2m25s and finish OK -BUT with wrong output. With bash -x I see 
the ip_page is empty, ie: wget is not working.

Trying the wget part from bash [version 4.2.24(2)-release 
(i686-pc-linux-gnu)] prompt with various deferent options, "to protect 
the password"  including your suggestion below will not work:

wget -O - http://admin:1234@192.168.1.1/Status_Router.asp => bash: 
1234 at 192.168.1.1/Status_Router.asp: event not found

wget -O - "http://admin:1234@192.168.1.1/Status_Router.asp" => bash: 
1234 at 192.168.1.1/Status_Router.asp: event not found

wget -O - http://admin:'1234'@192.168.1.1/Status_Router.asp => 
--2012-05-06 21:50:50--  
http://admin:*password*@192.168.1.1/Status_Router.asp
Connecting to 192.168.1.1:80... connected.

Retrying.

wget -O - "http://admin:'1234'@192.168.1.1/Status_Router.asp" => bash: 
1234: event not found

I can get the page OK, in a browser.

Thanks!
