hello world!
how dangerous is the command to make the full 32MB RAM available?
according to the postings i read i guess there is a 40% chance of damaging my router. this is seriously too high for my taste.
i understand that making changes to the nvram is always a bit of a risk, but this particular change seems to bear quite a risk.
ok, no answers to that. i guess nobody knows. i'll create a poll and then we might find out how many people actually had problems after executing the command
well, 2 votes is better than no votes. meanwhile i've been strolling around a few other pages. openwrt has a nice forum as well and there are quite a few posts concerning the wl500gp.
i found this "Up to now there don't seem to be any problems with this, but it *might* break your box."
there are quite a few people reporting success and no people reporting problems ... with that particular issue. the quote was posted on 2006-06-01 and nobody as objected to that yet. so it seems quite save to do. i'm having other problems though. i can't even reboot my box. everytime i do reboot i end up in diag mode :-(
Did you try to flash your router before this situation appeared? I had the same problem when the flashing failed. I flashed again, waited some mintues before unplugging the power and pluggin it back in. YOu should also consider to reset the router settings by holding reset >10 sec while it is powered on before flashing the router using the Asus tool.
@the 32MB issue: don't be a chicken and expand your RAM dammit ;)
I can only recommend you to do this, an USB HDD for example will be more stable just because there is more memory available.Quote:
