Hi,
I tried to setup Asus 500g Deluxe as Wifi client to connect my home LAN to ISP using WiFi. It looks like there is either some bug in gx version or (more probably) there is problem in my setup (typical problem between keyboard and chair). I have some networking experience (Cisco CCIE,CCNP,CCDP) but Asus is new for me. I tested real life connection to ISP and later (after long hours of fight with ASUS) I built testing lab environment to limit ISP's complications (MAC filtering, security filters etc..). My ASUS worked in lab same way as in real life - WiFi connection has been built (my ASUS attached to AP) but there is no possibility to get DHCP reply, there is 0 packets received on WiFi interface from air. Another (very similar) behaviour is on LAN (eth 0.1) ports, it seems that they are only unidirectional ports.
I am sorry if I made some stupid error
in setup but I spent long hours with Asus and I am desperate now. I tried almost everything (different setups, tried all HOWTOs I was able to find) and it does not work as expected.
I described my setup (pictures, screenshots, listings) and my tests as a Word file at
http://www.tenzor.cz/surfer/asus/ASUSproblem.doc and I am attaching it to this post.
Could you give me some hint how to make this great router with Oleg's firmware (I like it, really) working in my setup?
Thanks
Ivan
