The firmware is in english, but since the site is in Check and I dont understand
this language it was kind of trial and error.
Bur so far so good.

Check that this site is in "Czech" ;)Quote:

And with the problem about the range of 500gP? my 500g have more that twice range that 500gP.
And in the box say it more that 300% range..
This cdma fw have some bugs that it need to be fixed :)
I can't use Dynamic DNS Say:
It seems easy to solve..Code:ddns update: could not resolve ip address for vlan1.
Hello, I want to buy a 3G USB Modem to have internet everywhere but when I am at home I have another computers and I want to share my connection without having one computer turned on to share the internet! I looked for intensively in the Internet and finnaly I found one router called Asus WL-500g deluxe with 2 Usb Ports that works with one ISP from Portugal called ZAPP, so my awnser is if this works with the Vodafone USB 3G Connection Box.
Here you have a photo of it.

Hope you can help me!
Thanks!
Yes, the Asus WL500g Deluxe works with that dongle (I'm assuming you are talking about the Huawei E220 - a.k.a. Vodafone SmartModem). But it doesn't work out of the box, you need to load the usbserial module manually (or in /usr/local/sbin/post-boot) and configure the dialup settings. Other than that it works (don't expect HSDPA speeds though, that won't happen until someone recompiles the usbserial module for the WL500g with the extensions suggested at http://www.junxion.com/opensource/li...usbserial.html - there's another thread I opened on the subject earlier).

Try this http://koppel.cz/cdmawifi/download.
That's the one I'm using and it doesn't help much. The USB Serial module is still the same slow one, they're using the acm module for the EVDO modems. I'm in Romania and we have a CDMA 450 EVDO network here so I was able to test. You still need to insert the module manually and you still get slow speeds.
A new release with the last and final firmware of OLEG, and with the bugs I reported fixed.

Hi Mektub,
May i know what CDMA Modem do you use with WL-500gP ?
Thank you ..
The modem comes in a pack when you subscribe to ZAPP, a company that operates in Portugal and several other countries. They call it Z010, but I think it is a 'Qualcomm CDMA Technologies MSM'.Quote:

last week i brought a asus wl-500g Premium.
I flashed with firmware h**p://koppel.cz/cdmawifi/download/163/WL500gp-1.9.2.7-7f-USB-1.63.trx
my usb modem Huawei e200, is recognized but can't establish a connection.
I need help, please!
Hi,
I have the same problem. Firmware from mentioned website is only for ZADACOM modems and will not support HUAWEI modems. I contacted people around the project, if there is a possibility to create firmware, that will support this modem, but had negative answer. They did not have that modem, it is quite expensive to get it. Without having the modem physically at their site, they cannot develop the firmware update.
Now, waiting for some developer, who will have the modem and will modify the firmware by loading appropriate usbserial modules, that will support HUAWEI modem.
Hi,:)
Please uninstall the zadacomm drivers with the rmmod command and execute insmod usbserial vendor=0x12d1 product=0x1003
Then use pppd and chat to make the connection.
Hope this helps..
Cheers
I can buy the Deluxe version for a few euros, is it customizable like the Premium??? Will I be able to use it with Huawei e220 usb modem at full speed??
thank you
ps: first post :D
pps: I discovered yesterday this fantastic router and I am very happy because I can save a lot of money! In fact, I thought that I would have to buy the super-expensive Linksys WRT54G3G-EU to share a 3g connection!! Instead I found this beautiful router wich cost only 70euros! A lot of people out there DON'T KNOW that you can use a 3g usb modem attached to these cheap routers and they buy the linksys for 170+ euros!! (to use it with a pcmcia 3g modem)
Definitely yes!
But read carefully http://wl500g.info/showthread.php?t=...ei+E220&page=2
So it means you have to install 3rd party firmware and follow tutorials.
Edit: Premium is a bit better, faster cpu 266mhz instead of 200 mhz and
8MB flash instead of 4MB. Ram is the same= 32 MB.
Premium costs about 70 Euro.
Thank you.
I knew I would have to use "custom" firmwares and to follow tutorials for both the routers.
Maybe I can get the deluxe for less than 40euros (used), that's why I was wondering whether to buy the deluxe or the premium...the deluxe is half the price....I don't know...maybe I'll get the premium eventually....
Meanwhile I think I should learn a bit of LINUX because most of those tutorials are non-sense to me! :o
I have a problem to get Huawei E220 co-operating with WL-500 gP.
I have Oleg's 1.68 in my WL-500gP and I installed the user dial up files for Huawei seemingly OK. The Asus menu says it is using Huwei E222 and the dial settings are the same that work with Zadacom modem.
Anyway, I cannot get connected. When I plug in the modem, I have the system log:
Jan 1 02:01:57 kernel: hub.c: new USB device 01:03.0-1, assigned address 2
Jan 1 02:01:57 kernel: usb.c: USB device not accepting new address=2 (error=-145)

Jan 1 02:02:18 pppd[207]: In file /tmp/ppp/peers/gprs: unrecognized option '/dev/usb/tts/0'
Any ideas what I could do to make this work? Thanks in advance.
Install fw again resp. use 1.68 and this howto:

have fun.....
One step forward: I updated the firmware of the E220 and now Asus recognizes it - as a CD ROM! :eek:
So I have now a Huawei CD-ROM in my WL-500, and the "dial script failed" in my system log .
Ok, use this one.....http://wl500g.info/showthread.php?p=88053#post88053

hi friends,
I have this problem with a vodafone connect box E220 with the last firmware and all the howto and oleg firmware version
When I plug in the power in Asus Wl 500GP it don't detect usb /dev/usb/tts/0ports of the modem E-220.

Just add to your post-boot a 'sleep 30' at the end (or if optware is installed, before calling rcunslung)
And check out USB vendor/device ID (12d1:1003)
have fun
Add a 'sleep 30' to your post-boot
Thanks for your support. I did all again from scratch including post-boot sleep etc. I also flashed the E220 to the newest Vodafone SW.
I still have the same notice in the system log like xipbox, but the difference is that I cannot connect in any combination of reboot, POR etc. I even tried a powered USB hub in between thinking of power problems that E220 is often having.
The Oleg's version is now 168a, should this work as well?
Could some firmware other than Vodafone version work better?
And what is this stuff about "USB device not accepting new address"? Can anybody tell?
Oh yes! It works now!
The reason - you may not believe this - was the USB cable! I replaced the Huawei USB lead with one from my USB hub and it works great now.
Very weird indeed. I even got the log writings when connecting to the router, the flashing blue light on Huawei and everything. And the log writing about the "address not accepted" is not appearing anymore.
(I also had problems with the same cable when connecting to PC, and the new one works great there too.)
Glad to hear your system works.
Take the longer cable (usually delivered with your E220) with 2 usb-connectors, maybe it helps......
No, actually the *original*, two-headed Huawei cable is the failing one.
One more question, what would be the best solution to see the modem 3G signal level with WL-500?
In Windows I can start a terminal session to E220 and use AT+CSQ command, but how can I use AT commands with Asus? Or is there some other way to monitor the signal level?
Well, there are several linux tools under development, so it will take some weeks - but useful stuff is always ported fast to often needed systems.Quote:

As I know from experience, the signal level does'nt tell you anything, because the speed depends much more to the local cell, I've been at places with full signal and very low speed and with low siganl with high speed. Further, you must consider, that there is just one bandwidth - maybe you have to share the bandwidth with others - without any possibility of getting influence.
I've got the same problem:Quote:

If then I rebbot the router with a software command ('reset' on telnet, or 'Save&Restart' in the web interface) everything works.
It's becoming very anoying to restart the router by software everytime, and if i'm not at home it doesn't self restart after a power failure so that I can access my fileserver at home.
P.S.: I don't have any "USB device not accepting new address" problemes and I've tried to cahnge the cable too and add sleep 30 and even sleep 60 to post-boot and enabled flashfs, but it doesn't make any difference!
1.) use user defined and upload the attached file 'dial.huawei.tar.gz'
http://wl500g.info/showthread.php?t=13480
2.) check out vendor=0x12d1 and product=0x1003
3.) if it doesn't help, let me know
(check output of 'lsmod' and post result)
In any case keep a sleep 30 in your post-boot.
Here is several points to the earlier thread...
Dante, I have the same behaviour with my WL-500 and Huawei E220: Power down, removing/replugging the modem or such keeps the connection down until a software reboot.
As a solution I made a "WAN watchdog" script that pings a known address, and if there is no response, the router is rebooted. Originally I thought to place this in post-boot, but ended up to make a script into 5-minute cron. Thus it may recover from modem freezing other than router power downs too. There is also a log where you can follow if there has been restarts.
Here is the script:
Code:#!/bin/sh
# WAN watchdog. If WAN interface is down, reboot.
ping_resp=`ping -c 1 yahoo.com`
if [ "$ping_resp" = "" ]; then
echo "Rebooted by WAN watchdog:" >> /opt/etc/cron.5mins/wan-watchdog.log
date >> /opt/etc/cron.5mins/wan-watchdog.log
echo "--------" >> /opt/etc/cron.5mins/wan-watchdog.log
reboot
fi
Newbiefan, I kind of disagree with you about the signal level topic. Of course it may not matter in a good coverage area, but definitely it matters in the the marginal areas. I am importing/selling 3G external antennas and there is quite a bunch of people definitely believing in signal level. Especially those a little outside the coverage without an antenna.
The third issue was the AT commands from WL-500 to a modem. I discovered a trick to do that, but I think I put it as an instruction to another thread.
Has anybody got Option iCON 225 modem working with WL-500gP + Oleg's FW?
I can well use Huawei E220 and ZadaCOM 3G+, but the iCON does not work. The modem does not appear at all to /dev/tts/, so it is not an APN or dial script issue.
The system log shows the modem recognized OK, but the log writing familiar from other modem problems is there: Mar 29 09:52:34 pppd[376]: In file /tmp/ppp/peers/gprs: unrecognized option '/dev/usb/tts/0'. The file /dev/usb/tts/0 is not created at all.
Hi all, my boss bought an assus500gp and asked me to try to connect an huawei E220 modem. Followed the great tutorial from "newbiefan" and excelent firmware from Oleg and Engy and..it almost works. The blue modem light is flashing, witch indicates poor signal.Following the tutorial, i make a telnet connection to the assus, enter user and pass but can't go to /tmp/local/sbin/post-boot with vi to add 'wl antidiv 3'. I dont know much of linux but can anyone help how to work with telnet to make this changes???
Thank you and rgs,
José, Portugal
Hey José from Portugal,
the "wl antdiv 3" affects to WLAN side, so unfortunately that is not going to help to get you connected to 3G.
If you still want to add that, you do not actually need vi or any other eiditor at all. Just give the command:
and the line is added to the end of the file.Code:echo wl antdiv 3 >> /usr/local/sbin/post-boot
You can check the result with "cat /usr/local/sbin/post-boot". Remember to save the setting to flash with command set "flashfs save && flashfs commit && flashfs enable" before next reboot or you'll lose it.
To ensure that the connection between Asus and Huawei is OK, check "Status & Log" menu and there "System Log" and its end side lines. You should see something like:
in there.Code:Mar 30 13:50:17 pppd[341]: Serial connection established.
Mar 30 13:50:17 pppd[341]: Using interface ppp0
Mar 30 13:50:17 pppd[341]: Connect: ppp0 <--> /dev/usb/tts/0
If you haveinstead, Huawei is not talking to Asus. Do software reboot and check the System log again. If still not there, check if the cable is OK with your PC. If still not OK, drop the tail of your system log to this forum.Code:Jan 1 02:02:18 pppd[207]: In file /tmp/ppp/peers/gprs: unrecognized option '/dev/usb/tts/0'
