    alpha rt-n firmware releases

    I already had a post with firmware releases from http://code.google.com/p/wl500g/
    but I tought that a new thread would be easier to find
    You can look through the changes in svn via this link: http://code.google.com/p/wl500g/sour.../branches/rt-n

    Also there is a download source from the Russian forum: ftp://core.dumped.ru/rt-n/
    it contains both firmware (RT-N16 and RT-N12) and additional modules

    so the list (which is updating):
    [B]From now on I can host the firmware on my website again.
    All the RT-N models: http://wpte.kicks-ass.net/downloads/...s/1.9.2.7-rtn/ also the wl models are available here with kernel 2.6
    The old kernel 2.4 wl models: http://wpte.kicks-ass.net/downloads/...lys/1.9.2.7-d/


    I don't build as regular as the nightly builds on ftp://core.dumped.ru/rt-n/ so keep in mind that you could download from there as well (with probably newer versions)
    or try my test nightly builds: http://wpte.kicks-ass.net/downloads/...ware/Nightlys/ (I'm not promising I can build every night tho)






    basic things you need to know about this firmware:
    • This firmware is still in alpha state, so it's experimental
    • it's pretty stable so far for me
    • wireless works in r1200 and higher for non-encrypted, WEP and WPA-AES encryption. WPA2 works since r1484
    • Back up your flasfs image before flashing the firmware. This will be ereased while flashing (in newer versions not likely, but still, it's always good to have a backup). After the flashing is complete you may restore the saved flashfs and everything should work again.
    • setting files from other router models can not be uploaded directly to the rt-n16, it's better to manually set up the webconfig
    • harddisks are not listed as /dev/discs/disc0... instead they are listed with character in alphabetic order: /dev/discs/disca. so mind that when setting up fstab
    • webcams don't work yet
    • printers should work from r1393


    problems you've found can be posted in the general firmware thread: http://wl500g.info/showthread.php?t=18004
    please post only real problems like "my router restarts every 5 minutes" or something like that
    Ofcourse mind the simple rules of describing a problem like that, to make it easier for the developers to fix it
    • Describe the problem clearly
    • Tell how you could possibly reproduce the same problems again.
    • If you've found a way to fix the problem, please write how


    general problems like "hey my harddrive doesn't mount" or "hey what settings should I use?" can be posted here

    that was all I guess

    Would you recommend using a swap-partition? I think the 128 megs of ram should be enough or is there any advantage of having additional space for swapping?

    Yes, swap is advised, since during something like file transfers the cache can become quite big. And with a little swap extra you'll be sure everything stays stable
    I haven't seen it go higher than 2MB tho, but I had some crashes without swap on dd-wrt, so that's why I use swap now

    In this case, i'll use the swap. Thanks

    firmware list updated with r1256
    in the rt-n merge, I think "accidently" (not sure might be testing/fixing) the printing spooling service was included.

    I excluded LPRNG in this build since it would give compiler errors

    Question you tested speeds ?

    what are the speeds on wireless N ( with wpa-aes) ?
    what about samba / ftp -> up/ down speeds ?
    wired speeds ?

    samba:
    up 8.45MB/s
    down 6.65MB/s

    with ftp it's always a bit slow somehow, but I guess that's not because the router can't handle it.
    hggomes has some different results:
    FTP: D: 6.2MB/s U:8.2MB/s | D(SSL): 2.8MB/s U(SSL): 3.6MB/s
    SAMBA: D: 6.6MB/s D: 6.4MB/s
    With wifi, I'm not sure I can give you a real answer since my all the wlan cards I have are not that good
    I don't have any trouble reaching something like 10MB/s tho

    I have an HDD My Book World 2 Western Digital 2TB with 10/100/1000 ethernet interface.
    I tried to mount this hdd but is seams that the RT-N16 kernel does not have support for ethernet mount.

    I would appreciate it if someone could help me add in kernel 2.6 the smbfs module.

    My hdd don't have any LAN connections, they are just ordinary USB drives

    I can try to compile the CIFS kernel modules in the firmware next time?
    it should support samba as well

    Many thanks,

    I will wait the next version of firmware.
    You have any idea how long I have to wait?

    I have them ready now
    I've build the modules straight into the kernel itself, so they're loaded up automatically I think
    haven't try them out yet
