Hi,
how to switch the wl-500g with Oleg's fw 1.8.1.7 to client mode? It seems that the old way of Oleg's fw 1.7.x.x doesn't work.
Can anyone help?

Thanks.

Using web interface.

I had tried that as well, but couldn't make it work. I'll give it another try. Thanks.

Hi,

I have this problem too: client doesn't work in 1.8.1.7 2-a and 3. I tried web interface. Wireless didn't have IP address from DHCP. "wl scan" works good.

Thanks.

Well, I have sort of same here.
I do get it to work but the PING is terrible
it adds >100ms to the ping (pinging from the asus to the AP is just a few ms)

Does anyone have it working and can share the correct settings for

System Setup - Operation Mode
and for "Extended Mode"

Well, since 1.8.1.7 ASUS implemented client mode on it's own. I was in hope they've done this, as it should work. But they does not. Basically this means, that now it does not work as expected. Effectively wireless interface is always in LAN, regardless of the operating mode setting. This makes it USELESS.
So, at the moment I'm recommending to use 1.7.5.9-5 firmware instead, with REAL client mode support.

Would it be enough to reconfigure br0 to include eth0 and eth1 leaving eth2 separate? Or it is not that simple?

No, firewall should also be adjusted, so eth2 will be used as WAN iface.

Hi all

i have working setup for client mode with this firmware:

eth2 & eth0 is bridged together....so when you setup SSID etc... and then setup IP address ina LAN config...this IP is used for ETH0 & ETH (bridged)
BUT...ping was very unstable, and offen timeouted..

so i find this solution:
aftter you setup client mode from web (ethernet bridge....but i don't see the diference between bridge and station mode)

you must do this from shell (SSH, telnet)
remove ETH0 from bridge .... brctl delif br0 eth0
conifguer eth0 via ifconfig......... ifconfig eth0 ip.add.res.s net.mas.k.k bcast br.oad.c.ast up
ande add entry for msquerade to iptables.......iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o br0 -j MASQUERADE (or something similar....check your postrouting table first for right entry....

This works for me for cca 1 weeak with WEP encryption.

Bye
