Hi all.
I have been using Oleg's 'latest' firmware for the WL500gPv2 (WL500gpV2-1.9.2.7-10-USB-1.71.trx) with a Huawei E1762 USB modem (and USB printers, HDD). I have been happy EXCEPT that the router consistently 'loses' the modem - several times every day.
A power cycle is the only way to fix the problem - temporarily.
The modem light stays on indicating there is still a wireless broadband connection maintained - and there is no problem when connecting modem directly to a computer. I have upgraded the antenna pregressively - now a yagi - so GPRS reception is not the problem.
I tried a recent non-oleg firmware upgrade (WL500gpv2-1.9.2.7-d-r1222.trx) but found it had no USB modem (GPRS) functionality.
I found this was the case initially with the first oleg firmware I loaded (WL500gpv2-1.9.2.7-10.trx). Then I loaded this one (WL500gpV2-1.9.2.7-10-USB-1.71.trx) which has USB GPRS functionality.
So I reloaded the latest oleg one (same as before) - still have the same 'dropout' problems.
I have the Zero CD Configuration setting for the modem type set to "Not set" as my model E1762 is not in the list. I have tried setting it to E169 - no improvement in stability.
Does anyone have a better/updated firmware which includes USB GPRS modem functionality? Or can you help with how to set up the user config option in the modem type setting in Zero CD Configuration? I need your help :-)

Hello,
I have the same issues (random disconnects of a Huawei E270 connected to a WL500GP). Can anyone tell me what shall I do in order to find the source of all those disconnects?
Here are some extracts from the logs (the disconnect looks the same everytime in the logs) (*I erased the real IP's):

It takes couple of minutes until the connection is restarted. During this time, the led indicating a pdp context is lighting, indicating a pdp context..
Thank you!
Hi.
Can anyone help me set my WL500gPv2 Zero CD configuration for the Huawei E1762 modem? I am using latest (as far as I can tell) Koppel firmware (WL500gpV2-1.9.2.7-10-USB-1.71.trx).
I currently have the modem type as "Not Set" as mine is not on the list. Will using the user config function help the router keep in contact with the modem? Currently it 'loses' the modem often, requiring a power cycle to reboot, re-connect.
Can you please help?
Tim
I have the same problem. How shall I upload the /usr/local/etc/usb_modeswitch.conf file into the router? I tried with tftp but it did not work (timeout error).
Could you give a step by step instruction?

Hey - that sounds very much like my own experience with a WL500gPv2 and Huawei e1762 - the router just loses contact with the modem (which still appears to be connected - but there is no internet connectivity, LAN or wireless).
I have not been able to get a reply so far to my posts - hopefully we will hear soon from someone with a solution.
I wonder whether this is the answer:
http://sakis.tel4u.gr/blog/sakis3g/#fastinstall
but I don't have enough (any) programming knowledge to implement it! Perhaps you do - and can help me as well?
Tim
That is for different full implementations of Linux.
The routers just have a special limited version, so it is not possible to work.
Problem fixed for me! :)
It is a problem with the Linux drivers for the specific modem model (Huawei E270). A got a trace from the Operator, and I had normal release connection.
I implemented in crontab a ping, at every 2 minutes, and now I am in the 5'th day without disconnection.
Good luck!
As I wrote in first post:
So, do you have an instruction for this or your cronjob (as I'm not that good with Linux)?Quote:

Hi.
Got a WL-500gP with a Huawei E200 USB modem that has worked perfectly for years...
But today something happened when I moved the router in my house, and I can't figure out what...
System Log says nothing special (from what I can tell).
"Connect: ppp0 <--> /dev/usb/tts/0" is there and
"USB Connection: connected to ISP"
* Wlan works, I can go to the admin web. I can telnet to the router and talk to other computers on the same wlan.
* When I telnet to the router I can (from there) ping IP numbers on internet, telnet to - for example - port 80 on google.com and get a response.
* DNS lookup works. If I - for example - ping www.123.com (never been there I'm sure) I get an IP address to send packets to but no response...
Well.. what doesn't work is connections from the wlan to internet.
If I browse to google.com it shows a "tcp SYN_SENT" in the NAT table (in Status & Log on the router) but never "tcp ESTABLISHED". And I never get a response at all.
The problem is in the router because it's the same symptoms on all computers in the wlan. The E220 works okay (I'm posting this "through it" plugged directly into a computer)
Suggestions anyone? Please? ;-)
1. Implement cron package from this tutorial:
http://www.macsat.com/cron.php
2. Modify the following files:
/opt/etc/crontab
SHELL=/bin/sh
PATH=/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/opt/bin:/opt/sbin:/opt/usr/bin:/opt/usr/sbin:/opt/etc
MAILTO=""
HOME=/
# ---------- ---------- Default is Empty ---------- ---------- #
# Syntax for lines is : minute hour day month dayofweek command #
*/1 * * * * admin run-parts /opt/etc/cron.1min
*/5 * * * * admin run-parts /opt/etc/cron.5mins
01 * * * * admin run-parts /opt/etc/cron.hourly
02 4 * * * admin run-parts /opt/etc/cron.daily
22 4 * * 0 admin run-parts /opt/etc/cron.weekly
42 4 1 * * admin run-parts /opt/etc/cron.monthly
NOTE : instead of "admin" use your administrator account name!
/opt/bin/run-parts
#!/bin/sh
if [ -z "$1" ]
then
echo "Usage : $0 "
fi
RUNDIR=$1"/*"
for i in $RUNDIR ;do
# Ignore dangling symlinks (if any).
[ ! -f "$i" ] && continue
case "$i" in
*.sh)
# Source shell script for speed.
(
trap - INT QUIT TSTP
set start
. $i
)
;;
*)
# No sh extension, so fork subprocess.
$i start
;;
esac
done
3. mkdir /opt/etc/cron.1min
4. create /opt/etc/cron.1min/ping.sh
echo " " >> /tmp/pingtest.log
echo "********************************************* " >> /tmp/pingtest.log
date >> /tmp/pingtest.log
ping -c 3 xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx >> /tmp/pingtest.log
echo "********************************************* " >> /tmp/pingtest.log
echo " " >> /tmp/pingtest.log
NOTE: -c 3 is the numer of pings
NOTE: instead of xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx put an IP address reacheble from your router, to be used for testing (try to put the default gateway for the connection, or the DNS server)
5. create /tmp/pingtest.log
6. append the /usr/local/.files by adding the folling line:
/tmp/pingtest.log
NOTE: in case of a restart, the content of the file is stored on the disk/stick
RESULT: every minute, 3 ICMP packages (ping) will be sent to the IP address, resulting in a keep-alive for the connection.
Good luck!
For some reason (maybe when I shut off the power) the
"Backup Connection" / "Connection Possibility" was set to "GPRS/EDGE/UMTS".
Changed it to "WAN" and that solved my problem.
/D.
Write it down for the next time :)
Feedback???
Sorry about no respons,
but the router is at my sisters place and she feels like not beeing able to do the changes in router.
But she is also a bit wondering if it will solve the problem cause the router/modem disconnects sometimes even during filetransfers.
But I will come back as soon as I have visited her and hopefully made necessary programming..
Has anyone found a solution for sucessfully connecting E1750 to ASUS 500gP ?
Thanks.
Has anyone succeeded conecting the E1750 to ASUS 500gP ?
If YES, please describe how you did it.
Huawei has it's own router, but I'd rather not buy another one.
Hello!
Sorry for disturbing you here, but I need help and only you can help me!
I have a Asus Wl-500 GPv2 and I want to use a modem ZTE MF662 for internet connection.
I put this firmware on it : http://koppel.cz/cdmawifi/download/171
Can you help me or provide other viable solutions (new firmware or/and new settings)?
Thank you and I am looking forward to your answers
upgrade to latest version here ftp://core.dumped.ru/wl/
and will work

Hi all!
Im very new to this so maybe this will sound a bit stupid, i dont know. But I really cant get my E398 to work. It shows up under USB devices, but NOT under USB devfs devices. I have typed in the PIN and the APN, but i just cant connect. Has anybody got this device to work?
MANY thanks in advance!!

Are there any attemps to support NDIS implementation for "Fast" Sticks (Huawei E398, E372,..) DC-HSPA. Something like i found here
I will soon replace my E230 Stick to an E372 and read around that there will be a speed limitation due to serial connection using to much CPU load.
[Edit]
Hmm someone has moved this - I am runnnig "Enthusist" Firmware - so i posted this in the Enthusiast Thread...
@Rymdis: Try another port (usbtts3 or 4) - then it should work - but beware aou will become limited to about 20 mbit/s because of lack of CPU Power of your router - Oleg and Enthusiast run the stick over serial connection. That will use more CPU Power than the NDIS connection you get when sticking it to a MS machine.

I have a Telemodem Z010. Could someone help me using it, somehow?
