I have a wl500gpv2 running 1.9.2.7-d-r893.trx. I'd like to upgrade to r1000 - do I have to reset the router to factory defaults before or after upgrading? Can I later upload saved settings file or do I have to enter them manually? Do you recommend against upgrading without resetting to factory defaults?

you can just use the saved settings.Quote:

just save the settings somewhere for backup:)
I'm trying to run python2.5 on firmware 1.9.2.7-d-r1000 but I cant' get it to run.

Unfortunately, busybox has very quiet diagnostic. This message simply means that some library, required by python, wasn't found!Quote:

Tools to find libraries dependency - ldd, readelf.
So I have to find ldd or readelf. Is there a ipkg package or a download location ?
Thanks,
REO
Ok, found a thread that ldd is included in the buildroot package. So installed that one which also installed uclibc-opt.
Afterwards python2.5 worked !!!
Removed the buildroot and uclibc-opt packages (obviously python2.5 worked no longer) then installed only uclibc-opt again and python2.5 still works.
Thank you for the help Ily and wpte !!!
Any news on RT-N16 build??
I saw lots of activity on the RT-N branch...
I'm waiting for this like crazy ...
I don't like dd-wrt and i'm not familiar with Tomato...
So keep up the good work...and make me happy soon :p

samba results are really impressive, both 1MB/s more than dd-wrt:
up 8.45MB/s
down 6.65MB/s
even when oleg is still "less completed" it runs faster:D
Still the cpu is underclocked when you comprare it to the 533MHz from asus.
There is no way of overclocking it yet I noticed, since I noticed it would ran on like... 150MHz I believeQuote:

the only difference is that sources of 2.6.22.19 should be untarred to src/linux/linux-2.6
to build this 2.6 alpha for wl500g series replace
byCode:CONFIG_CPU_MIPS32_R2=y
in kernel config and adjust the unit name in Makefile.topCode:CONFIG_CPU_MIPS32_R1=y
with kernel config you mean what file? I've looked into a couple of files but nothing comes close to those settings:confused:Quote:

This is after flashing and the router just doesn't respond to anything
I'm using R1187 atm
the wl500w version seems to work
and the RT-N16 version seems to be about the same size as the one on googlecode
maybe I'm doing something wrong?:confused:
Back to R1143:p
edit:
just spotted http://code.google.com/p/wl500g/source/detail?r=1189
rebuilding :)
...
and not working either :(
final edit:
I left the CONFIG_CPU_MIPS32_R2=y setting alone, so it's revision 2 now...
and it works properly now :D
wireless broadcasts and is connectable, but wpa2 tkip+aes doesn't seem tow work yet
everything else seems to work fine
I can't seem to port my settings from my WL-500W router unfortunately, the RT-N16 will stop responding after a reboot.
using r1189

these are not right tho, (kernel panics)

Does the latest version of your custom firmware (1.9.2.7-d) include the changes ASUS published in official WL-500W 3.0.0.9 firmware? I'm especially interested in the final N standard support.
If it's not included then it would be possible to recompile this custom firmware with the latest ASUS sources for 500W?
Thanks in advance.
firmware 3.0.0.9 contains the same wireless driver as previous one. Only web interface is changed. To make your router fully 802.11n compliant (at least according to asus) set encryption mode to AES only, because final version of the standard doesn't allow TKIP option.
Thank you the answer! Currently I'm using Oleg's latest firmware (1.9.2.7-10) in which I experienced some weird wireless problems (I'm sure that it's ASUS' fault). I'm just wondering that these issues would be fixed if I installed the mentioned most recent version of the custom firmware or the official ASUS one. The current security settings are: WPA2 personal with AES. Is my router N compliant then?Quote:

Give a try to a last version of 1.9.2.7-d. It contains the latest wireless driver available. It is newer than the one from 1.9.2.7-10 and the same as 3.0.0.9
The RT-N16 wireless is not quite stable yet I've found out:p
During transfers the speed will slow down over time to mere kb/s and the ping becomes very high during that period (around a second sometimes).
Eventually the wireless will stop responding, and I need to reconnect.
is it repeatable over 802.11n+wap+aes only, or doesn't depends on security settings at all?Quote:

Is it already possible to install/use programs with ipkg on the rt-n16?

yes it's possible, every program I tested so far works:)Quote:
