    Firmware v1.9.2.7 CR6, updated to CR6a ... now CR6b [Oleg]

    New firmware available for download. It includes snmp support and updated samba, which should allow handling of files > 2gb in size.

    The complete list of changes:
    • Timezones fixes, affecting ppp reconnect issues
    • Fixed pppoe/pptp mss clamping (thanks to Ark+ for reporting)
    • Added various busybox applets
    • Fixed UPnP crashes (thanks to tomilius for finding this out)
    • Yet another WAN port dies fix
    • Added snmp support
    • Updated samba to patched 2.0.10
    • WL500g Deluxe VLANs completely reworked
    • Restore to defaults/shutdown are now called using RESTORE/RESET button as follows:
      • first 3 seconds - power LED on: release button to do nothing
      • next 5 seconds - power LED off: release button to "shutdown"
      • next 5 seconds - power LED blinking: release button to reset to defaults
      • start over


    Updated firmware to CR6b:
    • Changed WAN port dies workaround (perhaps this one would be the last)
    • Samba now properly deals with large (> 2gb) files
    • Fixed usb printer model parsing bug (affects some Canon models and usb/lpt adapters)

    Great work.

    Great work Oleg.

    It seems like it is much improved regarding handling P2P traffic like emule. The .5a version made WAN completely die when running emule, this one seems to handle it much better (even though not perfect).

    Also - when using /usr/local/sbin/post_firewall

    on the 500gx version that I am using, I now have to change the WAN port from eth0 to vlan1....this will probably cause problems for some people :-)

    So, that's why never use hardcoded names. post-firewall gets WAN ifname as one of the args, and the correct usage is suggested on my page.

    P.S. ATTN: WL500g Deluxe owners: WAN port is now vlan1, LAN is vlan0.

    Has anything changed in wireless section?

    ...namely, when I upgraded WL-500gx from 1.9.2.7 CR5a to CR6, reset it to defaults and reloaded CR5a settings - my wireless AP disappeared. I can no longer connect to my WPA-PSK (AES) protected wireless network (open seems to work, haven't tried WEP yet).

    Should I restore "factory settings" and reenter all passphrases, macs & other stuff manually?
    Nothing. In fact, there is no need to reset defaults then upgrading 5a to 6. It would use old settings. Anyway, importing settings is not a good idea.

    Well...

    Restored settings, reentered everything manually but laptop would not detect the presence of hidden WPA-PSK (AES) network to which it was connecting before without problem.

    Unhiding network haven't helped - it is still undetectable.

    Will try combinations with WEP...

    Hi all,

    Help... I've upgraded the unit to 1.9.2.7-6 recently but it didn't work properly (e.g. after the flashing process the router was offline and not available via telnet, the internet connection died frequently, ...). Finally I decided to go back to 5a which worked perfectly so far. But again the router was offline after flashing and not available via telnet. So I tried to reboot that thing manually but since then the power LED is blinking and the box remains totally inaccessible. Restore to factory defaults doesn't work either. So what could I do now??

    Any help would be very appreciated...
