• Added new flashfs option: try 'flashfs enabled' to enable flashfs loading forever

• Fixed PPPoE clamping code (set Maximum Segment Size to actual MTU)

• NFS: added statd for proper locking
• SMB: Server string, new r/w share mode

Hi! great work on the firmware.

I flashed yesterday the new FW on my WL500gP
now the "Air" LED donґt get off when I disable Wlan under System & Log -> Wireless ->Disable.
On the 1.9.2.7-7g FW it works.

Oleg,
is it possible to add su in the next versions of your firmware? Now to have it you need to install coreutils, which includes a whole bunch of utilities.
Kind regards,
Alexander

Well, this is just how new wi-fi drivers work. I've no control on this.

What are the differences between the 2 feeds?
Why should I use one instead of the other?

Edit: Does the 'opt' version of mediatomb work?

Hi,
i upgraded my wl 500g firmware from 1.9.2.7-7c to 1.9.2.7-8. After this upgrade i have problems with the stability of my wireless connection. After some time connection drops down and the computer try to establish the connection but it drops again in a few seconds (no network). Computer is trying to connect but after 5-10 seconds is again disconnected and it continues like that. When i restart the router connection is stable and ok again but after some time (30-60 minutes) it begins to connect and disconnect again. My OS is Win XP. Could anybody help me please? thx.

I have the same problem after upgrading my WL500g Deluxe. After 11 hours the wireless network became unstable. The wired connections were stable and there was no entries in the syslog indicating any errors in the router. I have downgraded to see if this solves the problem.

This firmware cr8 is work good on wl-500g. It work over 60 hours and no problem
about wireless connection. Thanks a lot.

[Oleg]

Guys. WiFi problems are often caused by Auto channel setting. Switch to fixed channel and it will work much better.

Hi Oleg, thanks for your work.

Firmware v1.9.2.7 CR8 support WDS with WPA+PSK with extend mode WDS?

I canґt connect both wl500g with this...

Is any way to do this?

[QMax]

Very good job Oleg.
Thanks again.

Will this work on my WL-500g ("normal", not Deluxe version)?

I have the official Asus 1.9.5.0 firmware installed atm.

And is there a web configuration page still? Or do I need to do everything via the console?


Thanks in advance for the replies!
