Bekijk de volledige versie : Bug in Wireless Mode settings
Hy.
I found a bug in Wireless Mode settings. When I set 802.11B Only, mode remains set to Auto. When I type wl rate, it is 36 Mbps, 24Mbps. The thing which will help is set wl gmode to auto and then back to 802.11B Only. Unfortunately there is not valid source for wlconf.
Here is the script to fix this bug
#!/bin/sh
if [ "`nvram get wl_gmode`" = "0" ]; then
wl ap 0
wl gmode 1
sleep 1
wl gmode 0
wl ap 1
fi
Has anybody else noticed this bug?

nope.. you don't mention firmware version so nobody will check to confirm
Sorry,
1.9.2.7 series were on my mind.

Sorry,
1.9.2.7 series were on my mind.
custom or asus?
or both
Original asus 1.9.2.7 and custom from 1.9.2.7-1 to 1.9.2.7-3b.
Hm... wlconf sources are available in the firmware, but it's also possible, that ASUS guys have not updated it to use with new wireless driver...
fw 1.8.1.7
- correct wlconf.c in router/wlconf directory
- invalid wlconf.c in router/infosvr
fw 1.9.2.7
- missing wlconf.c in router/wlconf directory
- modified Makefile to not compile wlconf.c
- invalid wlconf.c in router/wlconf directory
I thing the bug is in wl program or wl.o module. I need to set another mode than 802.11B Only and then back to 802.11B Only.
Is it a bug Oleg or I do something wrong?
yes, you're right... They've removed sources for some reason...
strange: 802.11b works for me:
[root@wl500g root]$ nvram get wl0_gmode
0
[root@wl500g root]$ wl rate
rate is 11 Mbps
[root@wl500g root]$ wl gmode
54g Mode is 54g Legacy B (0)
[root@wl500g root]$ wl status
SSID: "wl500g"
Mode: Managed RSSI: 0 dBm noise: 0 dBm Channel: 6
BSSID: 00:00:00:00:00:00 Capability: ESS WEP
Supported Rates: [ 1(b) 2(b) 5.5(b) 11(b) ]
I have provided some more tests with this result:
I use Hibrid mode. The second AP is wl-hdd with 1.9.2.7-3b fw. After successfull connection the wl rate speed goes to 54Mb. Here is result after 1 min up
[admin@(none) root]$ nvram get wl0_gmode
0
[admin@(none) root]$ wl rate
rate is 54 Mbps
[admin@(none) root]$ wl gmode
54g Mode is 54g Legacy B (0)
[admin@(none) root]$ wl status
SSID: "default"
Mode: Managed RSSI: 0 dBm noise: 0 dBm Channel: 6
BSSID: 00:00:00:00:00:00 Capability: ESS
Supported Rates: [ 1(b) 2(b) 5.5(b) 11(b) ]
[admin@(none) root]$ wl rateset
rateset : [ 1(b) 2(b) 5.5(b) 11(b) ]
There is sample configuration for wl500gx in attachement.

please mention exact which hardware you are using, you are mentioning WL-HDD and WL500g Deluxe already in your last post this means results can't be compared anymore with WL500g
Oleg was talking about WL500g, and yes there is difference between them even if the firmware version is the same
The problem is same with wl-500g. Config for wl-500g is in attachement.
So it's a bug in firmware or not?
[admin@(none) root]$ nvram get wl0_gmode
0
[admin@(none) root]$ wl rate
rate is 54 Mbps
[admin@(none) root]$ wl gmode
54g Mode is 54g Legacy B (0)
[admin@(none) root]$ wl status
SSID: "default"

[admin@(none) root]$ wl rateset
rateset : [ 1(b) 2(b) 5.5(b) 11(b) ]
Thx
Have you checked real rate?
Probably just wl rate output is invalid.
Yes. The real data rate is more then 11Mbps. I have tested it with pings with 64000 packet size. Here are the avg results of 100 packets :
110 ms with wl gmode 802.11B and wl rate reported 54Mbps
170 ms with wl gmode 802.11B and manualy setting wl rate to 11Mbps
105 ms with wl gmode Auto and manualy setting wl rate to 54Mbps
I thing there is a bug.

the bug is as follow, you could have confirmed it yourself:
when using NO hybrid/wds it works like it should
when using Hybrid or WDS mode it seems to ignore the 54g Legacy B mode somehow
anyway result from WL500g using WPA-PSK (Hybrid)
[root@SNOL root]$ nvram get wl0_gmode
0
[root@SNOL root]$ wl rate
rate is 54 Mbps
[root@SNOL root]$ wl gmode
54g Mode is 54g Legacy B (0)
[root@SNOL root]$ wl status

added in FAQ ( http://wl500g.info/faq.php?faq=asus_wl_x#faq_knownbugs ) asus is reading it.. no idea when they are..
