    Are there any bugs in the custom firmware?

    What are the advantages of the custom firmware until now?


    Please do not tell me to search in the forum, because I have done that and still have those questions

    Thx a lot
    I hope this will help you.
    I have just fill the instructions to instal the custom firmware by printscreen...

    Good luck

    Hi folks,

    actullay you can forget about this post - just read it if you're facing the same problem which was solved after downloading the WL700gE_1.0.4.6_kc_02a.nas file again.

    I simple can't get WL700gE_1.0.4.6_kc_02a.nas installed.
    At the moment I have the original Asus 1.0.4.6 firmware installed on the router and following all the different upgrading FAQ I always get the same error message from the firmware restoration tool
    It does not want to write the backup on c:\ but tells me it can't write in a temp-directory on my PC - please see attached picture.

    Anybody a hint ?

    Best regards,

    Extreme

    P.S.: up- or down-grading the original firmware is no problem.

    Why not just use the firmware update util in the web config gui??? It has always worked for me.

    @ Extreme
    I had the same error message.
    1. Watch out you save the firmware on a small path like your c harddrive
    2. Check the sice of your firmware...it has to be about 17 mb!!!! not like 300kb like mine had when i got that error message. If your´s does has about 300kb redownload it ...maybe with firefox or something else than IE

    Hi folks,

    first I would like to thank you all - especially kfurge for his great work.
    I think now that the problem was that I did not wait long enough before I started the upload via the Asus firmware tool.

    @kfurge (or anybody who knows):

    When I log in as root, I always have to manually do this:
    export PATH=/opt/bin:${PATH}
    export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/lib:${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}

    How can I implement this so that it standard ?
    I saw these lines in the rc.local file but when I log in it's not activated
    Do I have to make a .profile or profile file ? If yes, where do I need to put this file ?

    I would appreciate if you or someone else could help me with that.

    Regards,

    Extreme

    Use bash as your shell and put the lines into root's .profile. I have a sample posted on my web page.

    ANd where can I donwload it? Maybe I missed that part.... sorry!

    Search for profile. You'll have to rename the file on the website from profile to .profile.

    Hi kfurge,

    I am simply toooooooooo stupid.
    Everything works fine except the .profile file.
    Where do I have to put it ?
    Seems that the WL-700GE ignores that it is there
    Can't place it in /etc/ of course (where it should be in a standard system I think) and in /opt/etc/ it does not help yet ...

    Regards and thanks in advance,

    Extreme

    I would also be very thanksful of an image file for the router of the custom firmware or if it comes, an dd wrt firmware

    if anybody makes an image of the custom firmware, then please include everything like torrent etc.
