Firmware v1.8.2.4 BETA

[kiboko]

With this fw wl500g wan port is unable to obtain the modem's ip, it dies frequently.

The same thing happens with the 1.8.1.9 fw.

what should i do?

[Tomekk]

Im using Siemens Gigaset PCI Card 54 and i test WPA-PSK/ TKIP, WPA-PSK/AES and WPA-PSK/TKIP+AES and its all working in this firmware.

I also have WPA-PSK/TKIP , WPA-PSK/TKIP+AES working in Mac powerbook G4 802.11g cards and Asus notebook A2000H series 802.11b cards.
You should check if your card is compatible with AES only a few cards have this function.

kiboko you should try to resolve the problem by using one of these solution here:

Anyways in AntiLoop 1st post:

an ATTEMPT to fix the following issues:
1. WebCam die
2. WAN die
3. Time Server
4. DDNS
5. Add Bandwidth Management.

so with what firmware does it work OK then for you?

did you reset to defaults too first?

[kiboko]

yes, I reseted the router.

now I'm using the 9.8.2.1 fw and the router is stable.

My home network:
toshiba satellite with Toshiba Wireless LAN Mini PCI Card 11b
Asus M6 with intel pro 2200b/g
toshiba satellite with Toshiba Wireless LAN Mini PCI Card 11b
2 pc with builtin lan connected by cable.
modem dlink dcm200

With the 1.8.1.9 fw the lan ports don't work with straight cable, don't know why.

for now my problem is solved.

thx all

I cannot download 1.8.2.4 from the link spesified.

Removed the file?

edit: tried the link on a machine which didn't have norton firewall installed and got the file!

I tried the combinations of the WL-500G (fw 1.8.2.4 beta) and an Centrino with Intel 2200BG v8.1.0.28 driver and Intel Proset utility

The WL-500G is in AP mode with WPA-PSK/TKIP+AES only.
The intel with WPA-PSK/TKIP cannot connect
The intel with WPA-PSK/AES can connect
Ipaq 5550 with WPA-PSK/TKIP cannot connect

The WL-500G is in AP mode with WPA-PSK/TKIP only.
The intel with WPA-PSK/TKIP can connect
Ipaq 5550 with WPA-PSK/TKIP can connect

The WL-500G is in AP mode with WPA-PSK/AES only.
The intel with WPA-PSK/AES can connect

Same results as with fw 1.8.1.7-2a.

will this firmware work with the bigpond 'heartbeat' in its current form, or do i have to wait for it to be modified, like 1.8.1.7-2a???

Thanks

I've posted here results of tests. Does it help if i put them here or should i put them directly to ASUS? If so, what is the email address?

you can place them here, if it helps? dunno, and the email addresses are somewhere on the asus site. I don't have them.

I've found some time to test Bandwidth management

Settings download rules as:
IP Port Max Min
192.168.1.2 empty 500 100
empty empty 100 50
empty 80 50 20


Settings upload rules as:
Port Max Min
21 10 5
empty 50 10

192.168.1.2 does download with 500kilobyte/sec from FTP(port 21)
192.168.1.2 does download with 100kilobyte/sec from HTTP(port 80)
192.168.1.2 does upload with 50kb/sec to FTP(port 21)

192.168.1.10 does download with 100kilobyte/sec from FTP(port 21)
192.168.1.10 does download with 50kilobyte/sec from HTTP(port 80)
192.168.1.10 does upload with 50kilobyte/sec to FTP(port 21)

So it seems uploading stuff does not work correctly
Also some rules override eachother..

please try.. it's beta

ok...i've had a bit of a fiddle with this new firmware and i like it, but it still has issues with the bigpond 'heartbeat'. The only way i could get it to connect was to enter the 'heartbeat' ip address manually. Once it's connected though it's fine, and doesn't drop out.

The only other grip is it doesn't detect the time properly here in melbourne, it's am hour off for some reason, that may be related to daylight savings.

i definately prefer 1.8.1.7-2a, but will stick with this version for the next few days, to see what its like. Oh and my Logitech Quickcam for Notebooks Pro works just fine on this firmware, i was reading elsewhere that this cam didn't work with the router.

I am not familair with bigpond so I can not test it or suggest things to Asus (which fucking provider is using such horrible stuff??)

and about the Webcam this is possible yes, the firmware has PWC 8.11 instead of PWC 8.8 (yes webpages still state this) so that's perhaps why..

[i-beast-a]

Can anyone give some kind of prediction when this version will be officially published by ASUS??

What kind of timeframe does asus use for beta-testing with changes like this???

Any indication?

So far so good, after upgrading to this firmware last thursday, my wan-port hasn't died on my since (it did with prior 1.8 versions once a day on average) If I hit the one week mark (would be record for the past 4 months), I'll start playing with challenging settings such as dhcp etc. again , but let's wait for that...
