Is a correct way to shutdown this router?

Hardware Questions and Recommendations
1

I have a FritzBox 7490 with openwrt installed.
No shutdown command. So I use

poweroff

and when led become off I remove the plug cord.

Is ok? no risk of corruption?

On Old proprietary firmware I direct remove the plug and never had problems

Just pull the cord on Openwrt too ?

No risk of fs corruption?

FS isn't constantly written, only when changes are made.

If you do a save in the UI and pull the cord at the same time, there's a slim chance of actually corrupting the FS.

As long as you aren’t doing anything unusual, you can just yank the power cord. Openwrt doesn’t hold files open except when they are being actively edited.

The poweroff command works, too, of course, but is not necessary

Caveat: if you use mounted writable storage devices on your router at least umount them before pulling the plug...
