So any pertinent feedback is welcome
so far really nice!
I had to reinstall things like samba and openssh a few times on the fresh formatted usb stick since they both gave me some segmentation faults. The weird thing is, according to some hashing tools the executables or the ipkg files stayed the same:confused:
They run smooth now tho.
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:
nvram get clkfreq

buffers do flood when transferring files, just like with dd-wrt
after a file transfer they should empty again right?PHP Code:total used free shared buffers cached

with my wl500w they empty after transfers:p

When I want to compile the firmware myself I should do the same thing as for the wl-500 series?
Just place it in the broadcom/src, add kernel 2.6.22 somewhere?
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
so I downloaded kernel 2.6.22.19, unpacked it and linked it into src/linux/linux-2.6
downloaded the rt-n branch into /src/rt-n
"make kernel" inside the rt-n folder
changed the src/linux/linux-2.6/arch/mips/defconfig-bcm947xx file
issue "make" inside /src/rt-n again and the gateway folder is created
go into gateway and issue "make"

choice[1-2]:
"make install" and done
:D
No idea... I'm able to flash it, but after that the router doesn't quite boot...
power led and active lan/wan led's on, wireless led off.
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?
to the best of my knowledge yes.
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.
