I know it's already built in... but as the built-in version keeps segfaulting on me, I thought it wouldn't hurt trying the ipkg one. As long as it works I'm somewhat happy...
ok, I got you wrong, could you please tell:
* what was fw version
* from where did you get it
* how to reproduce bug

-what firmware version: r2899
-where from: wpte's link in the first post of this thread
-how to reproduce: Still working on that... I have an idea but can't test it right now as my flat-mate wants to use the precious internet :P I'll get back to you as soon as I find something.

hmmm ok...
and you're using it on the RT-N16 yes?
I'm using the exact same image then with none of those problems.
So you might check the MD5SUM of the image, maybe it's just a bad download:)
http://wpte.kicks-ass.net/downloads/Oleg%20Firmware/Nightlys/1.9.2.7-rtn/2899/ (md5sums.txt)
put all the files in the same directory on linux and do this:
md5sum -c MD5SUMS.TXT
modules.tar.gz: OK
RT-N10-1.9.2.7-rtn-r2899.trx: OK
RT-N12-1.9.2.7-rtn-r2899.trx: FAILED
RT-N16-1.9.2.7-rtn-r2899.trx: OK
WARNING: 1 of 4 computed checksums did NOT match
and yes, I just noticed that the RT-N12 is modified according to the sum... also on my ubuntu virtual machine:confused:
anyway, I compile the RT-N firmware with the 2.6k toolchain and the WL firmware with the old one.
Yes it's on a RT-N16 and the checksums do match.
Yes it's on a RT-N16 and the checksums do match.
and you're not flashing wireless or with a firewall turned on?
By now I have rebuild my system two times from scratch and could not reproduce the bug :/ At first I thought it might be caused by compiling and installing the newest version of sane, but this is not the cause. And I have only packets installed from the stable feed beside sane, so I don't know where else to look, as they aren't causing problems either... So I'll leave it at that.
Therefore thank you once again for the support :)

Good to hear you fixed it :)
sometimes some weird bugs just happen, but once you get it working it'll keep on working:)
I'm also back from holiday so the newest builds are available again. With a mere 10kb/s upload it took a little too long to put it on my router:o

Where are /usr/local/sbin/post-* files located in rt-n releases ?
Edit:Never mind, I figured it out .. I mean it is the same, I made a typo in #!/bin/sh and was misled by results .. silly.
I updated two wl-500w's today with WL500W-1.9.2.7-rtn-r3630.trx and both ended up stuck. They kept rebooting every 5 seconds and didn't respond to anything but the reset button. Luckily I was able to load another firmware with the Asus-recovery tool... I restored the Asus 2.x firmware and then used a old firmware I had previously on the units.
the routers aren't at my place so I don't have the possibility to check future updates, but I thought I let you know about my experience. (Updates were all done after a reset to factory defaults)

Benj
Are you sure they're fully flashed?
have you tried with the asus firmware restoration utility? it can take some time to flash firmware like that, but it should flash it correctly.
Night build r3630 has a bug in rc, it should be fixed in r3636.
Anyway, if you are not familiar with TFTP restoration method, then use of night builds not recommended.
I had some major problems on r3636... things like reboot or halt wouldn't work, slow dns resolve, very noticable during browsing...
So I updated to r3650, which didn't even boot, so now I'm back at r3600:p

Please explain problems in detail. If it is possible, from which revision it appear exactly.
Too much changes - theMIROn reworks rc, me add a lot of kernel backports.

Unfortunately, r3446 has floating problems not discovered by me - it successfully boots on my routers. Will try to fix, simple workaround - revert r3446 commit.

Rewert from r3653, redo from r3655. Should be ok.

I'll do a short version for now :D
in r3636 I had problems with reboot and halt. The commands would execute, but the router wouldn't restart.
I'm not quite sure if the pre-shutdown script was called... but some service managed to restart sometimes for some reason. (I think)
Overall they didn't do much:)
the resolve stuff was pretty weird. DNS lookup was quick, ping was ok, throughput was just normal but the browsers on any pc here just loaded things up a lot slower than usual.
After I flashed back to 3600 those problems disappeared.
Also I noticed some wifi problems. Clients with linux where initially unable to connect. after some retries it did work, but throughput was low and sometimes a high throughput would break the connection.
scratch that... these problems only appear after reboot or halt has been issued:D
I just flashed 3655, booted fine. Reboot doesn't work on it either for me...
I execute it and most services shut down, but pre-shutdown remains in sleep...
a lot of defuncts appear as well:

As you know, I only own a WL-500gP (no WPS here)
but for the RT-XXX owners I don't know if WPS is enabled on the firmware
if so, you should disable WPS by default due to thus brute force vulnerability:
http://www.kb.cert.org/vuls/id/723755
just informing, because the RT-N16 was listed as being crackable on FW 1.0.2.3

hi.
I have a 100/100 mbps line (pppoe) and an old wl500gp.
i tried to use today last nightly build - r3771 and i could not reach more than 70mbps download speed.
Do i need to do something special to activate fast-nat and get more dw/up speed?

$ nvram set misc_fastnat_x=1
$ nvram commit
$ reboot
Please note, packet marking (QoS, etc) and tun-interfaces is not available when FastNat is working.
And let us know if sudden reboots will appear.
You may check is FastNat works this way:
$ cat /proc/sys/net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_fastnat
2
hi, i did the commands above and i got after reboot :
[admin@mau-wl500gp root]$ nvram show | grep fastnat
size: 14170 bytes (18598 left)
misc_fastnat_x=1
[admin@mau-wl500gp root]$ cat /proc/sys/net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_fastnat
1
[admin@mau-wl500gp root]$ dmesg | grep NAT
BCM fast NAT: INIT
but no increase in speed.
is it because nf_conntrack_fastnat is 1 instead of 2 ?

By default it's activated as far as I know...
I'm afraid that this is the maximum speed you'll be able to get with the wl500gp.

No. theMIROn explains (http://www.wl500g.info/showpost.php?p=244711&postcount=60) nf_conntrack_fastnat values:
0 - FastNat switched off,
1 - FastNat works without URL filter. Its fastest option,
2 - FastNat work with URL filtering support.
Try to monitor CPU load when you pppoe connection speed at highest point. If CPU will be full loaded, then there is no option to raise router throughput.
do you think an older fw would do the trick - get more throughput?
maybe k 2.4 based ?
or newer :D - 3.0 Openwrt ?
I don't need any features like QoS.
IPv6 would be a good option (native DHCPv6 from ISP)...
Botton line is - highest possible throughput - less features.
Thanks for your help :)

Yes, there is a whole bunch of alt. firmwares, but only this one (http://code.google.com/p/wl500g/source/list) uses native Broadcom SDK. So only this one utilizes routers hardware in a best way.
Some part of Broadcom source code is still not avaliable, so wireless driver was unstable, AFAIK, till october (http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.wireless.general/78530/focus%3D78532) on all other -WRT firmwares.
IMHO.
Christmas release did it !!!
I've got 80-90 mbps throughput with r3702!
Great work guys, lly and themiron !!!
also thanks to ryzhov_al :)

Hello together,
after flashing 1.9.2.7-rtn-r3825 my web-if is not accesible anymore (neither form WAN oder LAN). There's no server messag - it's just trying to load...
ssh works fine and I can't see any complaints concerning this in dmesg.
Any idea what went wrong/how to fix this?
Thanks,
pheidrias
pheidrias
First of all, there was no http server for webUI changes for a long time.
I guess that you lost your flashfs content due to FW size increase or some custom scripts works wrong.
Second, dmesg contains only kernel messages. You should check "httpd" process existence & port listen by "netstat -an".
Additionally, it can be common mistake - current(old ASUS) web-UI not resistive to external attacks from WAN.
Or if you upgrading from old "-d" branch(you didn't write old FW version), your settings become wrong...

Hi Ily,
thanks for the fast reply.
Would it be a solution to reflash the last version (WL500gpv2-1.9.2.7-rtn-r3702.trx)?
In fact what I did was to flash from an even older fw (don't know which one) with saving of confing and flashfs. Then I reuploaded those settings. After reboot (my Asus hang in the reboot, so I had to hard-reset it), I flashed the alpha version.
This time without second saving of the settings. If I remember right, I reuploaded the old settings - the ones from the first firmware.
Could this be the problem (but why?)? Flashing two times subsequently and the reupload the flashfs/config?
pheidrias
28-02-2012, 07:48
Okay
After reboot into recovery and another reboot, the web-if is there up again!
Unfortunately, the router was not accessible (no ping) in recovery mode. Hope, this isn't going to be a permanent problem...
So I have no a explanation but a solution...these are the things driving scientist mad :eek:!
Due to an hardware fault of my WL-500W, in the next days I'll replace it with a new RT-N16.
I was running WL500W-1.9.2.7-rtn-r4051.trx, and I'll flash RT-N16-1.9.2.7-rtn-r4051.trx.
Is it possible to save settings.cfg and flashfs from my old router and upload it on the RT-N16 (I know of different flash size) ?
Thanks
Max

It should be... but I'd rather choose a manual reconfig.
flashfs is always good to go.

it depends on what kind of device you're using.
if it's WL500gP WL500W or any of the R1 MIPS processor series I'd recommend using 2.4.20 kernel (2.6.22.19 kernel seems to be buggy and utilizies lots of CPU when there is network activity).
for new RT-N routers 2.6 kernel is preffered.

i dont know, i have wl500gpv2 and i went for 1.9.2.7-d-4257 and router froze (i had to plug it off and on) during the heavy torrent download (on PC), something that happened first time in years for me..
before i used some rtn-r4xxx revision and router seemed to work fine
what is the best/stable 1.9.2.7-d-rxxxx fw for wl500gpv2 ?

not sure, but I think Oleg's original firmware (1.9.2.7-10).
you might try latest -rtn as well, there were some bugs fixed.
