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?

yes, try 6a.3

Thanks Oleg. I`ve tried what you suggested. I put wireless channel from
auto to 6 .this seems to be working now, also I`m using a zyxel 645r modem set in bridge mode and i`ve set the wan connection in the wl500g to 100 full duplex sometimes my connection ceases and will then pick up again, i`m going
to try it at 10 full duplex. this is the revision info for my wl500g. Thanks again for your good work! all I need to do now is get the web server, ftp, samba etc
working properly! regards jelly.
now using cr6a.3

6a.1, 6a.2, 6a.3 are no longer available for download. Use 6b instead.

test :)

6b

int, it should work fine, as it mostly just a rebranded 6a.3, with except of printer fix :)

In the sources. :) The problem was that you got "no such device" in the log during the printing attempt, while the printer is detected and displayed on the status page.

re:

Im now using 6b, and it seems quite stable... the auto negotiation in "wan connection speed" its working good (back again, finnally :P ).

I will continue to test after 72h of working and post my conclusions.

After some use of the 6a.3 ( ~72hours ) the firmware it seems stable and no resets, reboots or problems from services.

Once again just to remember my test's are using the WL500g with 1 connection in LAN and 3 WLAN connection WPA-PSK/ AES+TKIP ( 2 AES broadcom chip 802.11g and one 1 TKIP intel 802.11b ), with FTP server, DYNDNS and a print service port 9101.

Re:

Hi Oleg!

I use the new v1.9.2.7 CR6b firmware a few days. It's very stable, no restart, no slow down on auto negotiation mode, but the connection time is invalid in the future too.

Have you assigned LAN Hostname to your router and enabled samba? Yes, samba is changed in the 1.9.2.7-6, but it's still works fine. :) For r/w access use share$

After changing from 1.9.2.7-6.3 to 1.9.2.7.6b after a few days without any problems, I am having disconnections again. Are there any differences between those 2 firmwares?
Please take a look at my logfile.

No changes. How many times it disconnected? According to log - once. You may need to put "maxfail 0" (without quotes) to the Additional pppd options field and disable pppoe relay.

I've also got problems after the upgrade (b on a gx).

First of all a lot of settings where gone after the upgrade. The modem asked me to do the quick setup...

I did [flashfs enable] to restore my previous (samba) settings (/etc/smb.conf is back again) and I had to set my LAN name again.

The deamons are up and running, I get no errors in the /var/log files, /tmp/harddisk works fine, but I can't browse \\192.168.1.1\.

Update: the first problem had to do with the fact that my LAN name was the same as a machine name (that's what you get when you have to do the complete config again).

After that I could browse *something* but it sure wasn't my disk.

The logfile revealed the password file error, so setting

encrypt passwords = no

in /etc/smb.conf did the job.

Hi Oleg

6b is working here since 11 Days now, and stable even with doing lots of software trys on ipkg packages, so stable as hell for me.

But, my Terratec Webcam Pro is still not working, giving "Webcam capture no Frame" error repetedly in the logs, and showing lightgreen color all over the camserv generated pictures. Refering to here this is broken quite some time now and i have no other cam at the moment, so i am in need for a fix. Maybe a newer Version of the 2.xx Driver series for the OV51x Chips fixes this problem ?. I may remember had it working on some quite old Firmware, but i dont know which one it was, sry.

As a sidenote, disabling buttons for the 3 Print Servers form the Web iface would still be nice to gain some more memory, as we have lots of optional software now that can be enabled ...

Probably this would be updated in the 1.9.4.1 custom, but I've no ETA on this.

I'm too lazy. On the other hand, if you've some packages running already, then you could easily add killall to the post-boot. That's the point. :)

Thanks for the note about new version. I tried it today, and so far it works really well - the transmission speed dropped by about 10% on the edge of the signal - but reliability went up incredibly. At the same spot I had about 40% packetloss before and 1% now (at ~100kB/sec speed). Finally usable in whole house ;)

Side note: I hate uninstaller of 9.0.1.0 - it rendered computer unbootable and I had to play for about two hours with regedit to get it running

Thanks for the info about this new version. I'm using the 9.0.2.0 intel drvrs right now with the ASUS 1.9.4.0 fw version and WPA2-PSK/TKIP. So I guess it will work fine with Oleg's firmware.

SSID not hidden with Firmware v1.9.2.7 CR6b

Last week I upgraded my WL500G with firmware v1.9.2.7 CR6b. All seems to be oke, but today I discovered that my ssid was not hidden anymore. This I like an invitation to join my wirelessnetwork. I have all of the securty enabled so there is no panic. I hide my SSID now manually by a tellnet session.

nvram set wl0_closed=1
nvram commit

Please can this bug be fixed, or did I something wrong when I upgraded?

Thanx

Colderon :confused:
