Yes, this is expected behaviour. It's not lost, but flashfs was disabled. You've to use flashfs enable after the firmware upgrade.

URL filter is not implemented, that's why page is not available.

As for WAN port dies problem. At first: this is HW bug, don't know why ASUS does not contacted Broadcom yet. So, I recommend everyone experiencing reboots or WAN port dies problem to exchange wl500g with wl500g deluxe, but keep in mind, that wl500g deluxe is not equiped with LPT port. Also, most likely wl500g v2 should appear (don't know the real name), which is based on hw similar to wl500g deluxe, so no wan port dies problem should happen with it.

I was able to reproduce the problem (there're two possible states, which hw could enter, but this is really hard to detect). My unit never rebooted. It's extremely strange, that some of you are experiencing reboots. So, perhaps some of the units are really defective...

ONCE AGAIN: replace defective wl500g units, which are rebooting with ASUS 1.8.2.4/1.9.x.x firmwares or 1.9.2.7-6a, but working fine with 1.8.1.7-3. This is perhaps a hw bug, which I'm unable to workaround.

I have asus WL-500g with firmware 1.9.2.7-6, and have no dissconnetion/reboot issues.

Downloaded big files movies, 4a5GB 4times without reboot and speed 1900KB/ps. :)

sorry, I have no HD inside the WLHDD at the moment, so I cant test if the file limit is gone..but something other is totally broken with this test version..no network browsing, no NFS...please take a look.

thanks in advance,

How did you test this without hdd? nfs/samba would not start without a storage device. what is network browsing?
21-06-2005, 20:52

ok, checked it (running right now). nfs works fine, smbd does not start. have to check on this.

Intermittant wireless connection

Hello group. I got the wl-005g model ,2.4 board revision router this week,so I
decided to flash it with v1.9.2.7 cr5a and everything appeared fine so I decided to flash with cr6a. I had disconnected leads and cables to enable a clean reboot prior to flashing, after it rebooted i noticed that the wireless connection was poor,dropping and intermittent. connection was reading good but speed was varying from 1 - 11 mb/s on a dell true mobile 1150 pc card
I immediately suspected the firmware upgrade but only when i tried to adjust
the antenna i noticed that this was effecting the connection. I squeezed the centre socket of the antennaes sma connector with a jewellers screwdriver and now the connection has been perfect since. What i really want to warn others is of a possible faulty antennae causing this type of fault and what a
coincidence with this acting up when i done an update, must have effected
it when i was removing the connections..I would also Just like to thank you for the great software..I`m a total linux novice and I`m really crawling through the tutorials. sorry for the long post but I hope that my problem may
be of help to others..? regards Jelly

BTW, does original ASUS firmware for the WL-HDD supports large files?

This is due to time wrap, caused by ntp. Ignore this.

New testing firmware available for wl500g owners. This one has reworked (one again) WAN port dies workaround - http://oleg.wl500g.info/WL500g-1.9.2.7-6a.3.trx
Everyone affected with this issue and experienced reboots/locks/disconnects/ping problems should try it.

macsat: try with emule
int, jbk: try using it
catdog: try fix speed set to auto
guch79: check for wan port dies
AiKoiN: try this firmware

Reset problem: Fixed

When i have test ftp server and samba, and the WL make one "restore default / reset"

Samba interfaces

I have discovered, that samba is now binding to all interfaces. 1.9.2.7-5a did binding only on LAN, but now it tries to find browsers even on WAN.
I thing all users who care should add following to /etc/smb.conf:

Code:

interfaces = br0 bind interfaces only = yes

Reply:

Since i switched to 1.9.2.7.6a.2 and put the "WAN Connection Speed:" = 10Mbs half duplex, my wl500g never crashed/reboot/reset again. If i put in "auto" i will have problems again and the internet connection will be very slow.

Should i switch to 1.9.2.7.6a.3 to see if it works fine or should i stay in 1.9.2.7.6a.2?

Hi Oleg,

there is a problem with WL-HDD and firmware 6a.2 and ethernet speed set to AUTO. I cannot stream to harddisk without errors or dropouts because network speed seems to be slow. Configuration is unchanged.

If i set ethernet speed to 10 half everything seems to be ok.

Hello Oleg,

there is a problem with connection, ''firmware 6a.2'' , dropouts evry 15-20min. I`m back to 1.9.2.7-5a , WL500g runing 24/7 without any problems.

WDS not working with 6a.2 and 6a.3

Tried with WPA-PSK and TKIP. But it does not work.

TOP 1.9.2.7.6a.3

Trying 1.9.2.7.6a.3 since 2 days with wds and heavy upnp mediaserver traffic. No reconnects until now - after problems with the other releases of 1.9.2.7.6xxx this is the first real stable version for me....

Back to cr5a! 6a1,2and3 not working?

I went back to version cr5a after having problems with wireless connection
loss and dropouts with cr6.1 and cr6.2, then in version cr6.3 I had no wan connection at all, I`m using adsl pppoe. cr5a seems the most reliable for now.

Are you using WDS with WPA-PSK and TKIP or AES?
If so, can you please post your settings?
Thanks,

No - only WEP128 since some devices in my WLAN can´t understand WPA...

Is in this firmware release the connection of the ftp-server (external HD) from WAN fixed?
In previous versions I couldn't connect to my ftp-server over the internet with dyn-dns. I always got a time-out error. I think it's a wrong setting in the firewall of the wl500g.

wireless stuff is identical. most likely you've wireless channel set to auto - try using 1, 6, 11.
