Have you tried with WPA-PSK and TKIP or AES?

Is in this firmware release the connection of the ftp-server (external HD) from WAN fixed?
In previous versions I couldn't connect to my ftp-server over the internet with dyn-dns. I always got a time-out error. I think it's a wrong setting in the firewall of the wl500g.

Hello Oleg,

there is a problem with connection, ''firmware 6a.2'' , dropouts evry 15-20min. I`m back to 1.9.2.7-5a , WL500g runing 24/7 without any problems.

Read this thread carefully and try 6a.3.

[Oleg]

I went back to version cr5a after having problems with wireless connection
loss and dropouts with cr6.1 and cr6.2, then in version cr6.3 I had no wan connection at all, I`m using adsl pppoe. cr5a seems the most reliable for now.

wireless stuff is identical. most likely you've wireless channel set to auto - try using 1, 6, 11.

Since i switched to 1.9.2.7.6a.2 and put the "WAN Connection Speed:" = 10Mbs half duplex, my wl500g never crashed/reboot/reset again. If i put in "auto" i will have problems again and the internet connection will be very slow.

Should i switch to 1.9.2.7.6a.3 to see if it works fine or should i stay in 1.9.2.7.6a.2?

yes, try 6a.3

Im using now 6a.3 and the internet seems at the normal speed again. Thank you.

After some time of testing +72h working i will post something if its stable or not in my WL500g.

Thanks Oleg. I`ve tried what you suggested. I put wireless channel from
auto to 6 .this seems to be working now, also I`m using a zyxel 645r modem set in bridge mode and i`ve set the wan connection in the wl500g to 100 full duplex sometimes my connection ceases and will then pick up again, i`m going
to try it at 10 full duplex. this is the revision info for my wl500g. Thanks again for your good work! all I need to do now is get the web server, ftp, samba etc
working properly! regards jelly.
now using cr6a.3

Your wl500g radio is afterburner capable.

[jelly]

Hi Oleg. Yes I noticed that about the afterburner! using wl cap i get the following: ap sta wet led wme pio 802.11d 802.11h rm cqa afterburner
p.s I set the wl500g to 10 mbs full duplex and it appears stable, no disconnects, will keep you posted. regards jelly.

6a.1, 6a.2, 6a.3 are no longer available for download. Use 6b instead.

[int]

test

6b

[Oleg]

int, it should work fine, as it mostly just a rebranded 6a.3, with except of printer fix
