New Asus RT-N16 Router

[Gingernut]

If you log in to http://ip of your RT-N16/Main_AdmStatus_Content.asp
and introduce the command cat /proc/cpuinfo the output is what I posted, no program was used only the routers firmware.

But I thought BogoMIPS reported the real speed of the cpu in MHz as on other routers I have.

RT-N16 now supported by DD-WRT:

i wouldn't exactly say that yet, but the outlook is good

going to try soon:

Link upgrade a ddwrt inicial:

Link firmware Big:

update:
can't believe they are using the same wireless drivers... what a crap speed :S
I used to get over 144mbit and now it's all below 54mbit and sometimes slightly higher...

[wpte]

I can officially announce:
I get speeds over 10mb/s on dd-wrt

if they'd only fix wireless... over 100 transmission errors


gonna bench some more, they did clock the router at 480mhz btw (so that's an underclock)


edit:

Mode             Upload        Download        load
FTP              10.3MB/s      6.25MB/s        ~90%
SMB              7.36MB/s      5.67MB/s        ~80%
lighttpd                       3.7MB/s         ~25% 

sorry if there are any daily users/fans of dd-wrt, but it honestly gives me a headache.

after lot of hacking I have my lighttpd running, not with eaccelerator since it didn't want to compile nor run...
got some results as well for that.
php generation on pages can be between 2-4 times faster than my wl500-w with exactly the same setup (apart from eaccelerator which could make it even faster)


oh and lly and theMIROn, please finish oleg for the rt-n16 soon, since dd-wrt is quite unbearable

Set your Tx power to 20mW...

random tho... 71mW should be something like 17dB (the standard setting in asus firmware)...
I'll try it out when I'm home

update:
seems to work correctly now...
update2:
still only a 65mbit connection for my intel 4965AGN card, even when the signal quality is 100%
that was quite different on the original firmware, usually around 144mbit.
it only goes up high when I turn on another N client...

Hi everyone, just new here in this forum and got some Q's regarding the RT-N16:
- Will there be dedicated forum on this site?
- Anyone knows an ETA of Oleg's FW for this router?
- Any experiences with regard to throughput when connected to an Airport Extreme receiver?
- I'd like to use the RT-N16 as a minimal webserver with ssh/sftp and samba for a USB stick plugged in one of the USB ports, + want to run a bittorrent does that sound feasible?
- Can one connect a webcam to the USB as a security cam, for example?
- What other router could do this stuff?
- Any chance to get this thing debianized?

Any infos are highly appreciated!!! This seems a neat community and a fun device for developing...

Thanks a lot to everyone

- at some point yes
- uhm... 1-2 more months... dunno oleg for rt-n16 doesn't seems quite finished yet on svn
- I don't have anything apple in my house
- yes, I done it on DD-WRT already, anything that can be done with the other routers can be done on the rt-n16, only quite a lot faster
- dd-wrt has no such function as far as I see... but on oleg it should be possible. original asus firmware has removed that option as well
- uuuuuuuhhhhhhhh...... a really expensive cisco router?
- should be possible

What's the availability like on this right now? I was too late when Newegg got their first shipment in, but now they've deactivated the item

What gives?

I've tried DD-WRT yesterday and results were:

FTP
===

DW: 6.25MB/s
UL: 7.50MB/s

Are you sure is not the samba 7.36mb/s the ftp result?

rt-n branch changelog progress at googlecode.com:
http://code.google.com/p/wl500g/sour...branches/rt-n/

It boots, static wan/accelerated pptp/l2tp works out-of-box, wifi doesn't (needs some telnetting), flashfs wouldn't be implemented due jffs2 intentions (not implemented yes)
