Yes, I did. I hide my SSID in the configuration setting, but I can still see my SSID. Than I unhide my SSID in the same configurationpanel and I also still see my SSID. Back again to hide my SSID and nothing changed, still showing my SSID. So now I hide my SSID manually by typing in the commands.Quote:

Hi
After reading this (and relevant) topics, i've decided to flash my asus wl-500g router to the 1.9.2.7 CR6b version to counter the dhcp reset problem.
The problem I'm experiencing is that my download speed cannot exceed above 300k/sec, while my connection is capable of 800k/sec. Changing the auto-negotiation in the IP-settings to 10mbit half/full duplex only made things a lot worse in terms of speeds (100mbit half/full duplex mode is not supported by my dsl modem).
After getting fed up with this, I've decided to flash back to original ASUS firmwares, going back to firmware 1.6.5.3. Unfortunately, the speed problem persisted.
My guess is that somewhere in that little device some various settings are still stored, which are not deleted while flashing the device or resetting to the factory defaults. The reason I come to this conclusion is that the wireless encryption settings specify a WPA option, while 1.6.5.3 really does not have WPA in it.
Does anyone know how to clear the entire device so that I can flash a firmware which allows me to get my full speed? Or is it possible to change those speed settings via telnet using the 1.9.2.7 CR6b firmware?
Thanks!
Reset to defaults by pressing a button clears everything.Quote:

Hi Oleg,
I'm connected via a wired connection and connecting directly to the modem gives me the speed I mentioned, which is around 800 kb/sec down and 90 kb/sec up.
Also, there are currently no other computers connected onto the router, and I'm not living in a neighborhood with a lot of wannabe wifi scriptkiddies :p
Cables have also been checked to make sure they are not the problem so the only conclusion I can take is that the problem lies within the router.
Any ideas?
The only idea is that WAN cable is somehow damaged...Quote:

No chance. Firmware upgrade completely replace everything in the flash.Quote:

I have two a question.
Is possible to see by web interface manual ips in lan.
If i disable dhcp I canīt see ips in lan.
The other question, is possible to see Signal Noise Ratio?
thanks
No.Quote:

Hi all, I've bought Asus WL500g yesterday and flashed it with 1.9.2.7-6b and I'm still a bit confused by some things. I've gone through
http://wiki.wl500g.info/index.php/FlashfsBoot
and
http://wiki.wl500g.info/index.php/PackageDropbear
but I have not found any of mentioned files in my WL500g.
No rc.sshd, pre-boot, post-boot, post-firewall.
/usr/local contains only dir root.
I have tried even "ls -la /" but found nothing.
What am I doing wrong?
Are those wiki pages up to date with this release (the one with FlashfsBoot states something like it have to be updated)?
Thanks for patience with newbie ;)
i've been using Oleg's great custom firmware's on a WL500g with great success.
currently 1.9.2.7-6a.3
i've been trying to use the BANDWIDTH MANAGEMENT.
i wanted to make at least 64k/s (half megabit) for browsing Port 80
also at least 20k/s for Port 25 (uploading email).
my connection is 2048/200 (256k/25k) ...(damn NTL upload ratios)
in the web interface is see the units described as Min.(kbps)
i understasnd this is KiloBytes/sec.
so i enter 64 for port 80, etc
(i've also tried to enter in BITS 65536) but no difference)
browsing with a P2p programe running in background like Emule, shareaza,etc still slow and the Bandwidth Management doesn't seem to work.
anyone know why, or havingsame problem?
The units are kilobits, so you should enter 512.Quote:

i upgraded to firmware .6b, now in P2P progs i'm firewalled and my girlfriend's lappy can't see the router at all !
i set DMZ on my PC for my IP to not be firewalled.that worked.
wireless laptop still not seeing the router at all.
tried Asus's official 1.9.2.7 to test bandwidth management but it's the same story. it simply does not work.
Keep in mind, that bandwidth management is made by ASUS, not me, so it's good idea to call asus tech support.Quote:

However, the router still reboots sometimes, usually after a day (or two).
At first I thought that it rebooted because the internal flash was full due to the syslog, so I killed syslogd to prevent that from happening. But still it reboots sometimes.
Unfortunately, I can't give you logfiles because when it reboots, it erases the log (ofcourse) so how or what do you need to track this problem?
Syslog doesnīt write to flash and is configured to not fill the ram to the brim, so this shouldnīt be the reason of your problem.Quote:

Nothing. You've to find a way to reproduce the problem and then find out the reason...Quote:

Most of my configuration (the firewall) is done with scripts, and recently I was able to "overcome paranoia" and forget about radius (it worked but was an unnecessary pain the way I had it set up). ... Anyway, thanks for the good firmwares, Oleg! I'm having a blast not even having to think about my router.
ok the bandwidth management isn't your area to fix, i just thought you may be able to help as your quite good.
with your latest custom FW, any idea why wireless is dead?
i have to use ethernet connection to cable modem now because my pc or my girlfriend's lappy see no wireless router at all??
Just a suggestion: if you've wireless channel set to auto, change it to fixed. And then double check your settings.Quote:

OMG, this is sooo embarassing :oQuote:

Oleg, :)
on two issues I need your help:
1. The Interent connect button does not directly make a connection to the internet.
At least I can not see that its connected. But when I open up the Internet explorer then the connection will be established. But never via Web Interface to the Router.
2. Could it be that the router keeps all the time the internet connection alife?
I was just surprised when I checked the online time at my provider that I was 24 hours on line with less than 30 Megs.
Normaly I would expect after reaching the idle time the internet connection is switched off.
Appreciate your help, keep it going, well done!
Cheers

You should manually specify DNS servers for this to work and mark "Idle Tx Only"Quote:

In one segment I have over 20 Asus WL500g routers connected into the tree (no cycles). When there is traffic on this network, some malformed packets appear. Something like this:
These packets were originaly standard TCP/IP packets from the computers connected to the WAN (they still contain beginning of the IP packet, so I was able to trace them to originating computers). 172.16.0.20 is the LAN/Wireless IP address of the Asus router. But it isn't still originating router, that discards the packet. Sometimes it is done by router in the way (on the bridge between wireless and LAN) from originating router to corporate router.Code:01:06:47.970228 172.16.0.20 > 00:0b:6a:32:81:96, ethertype ARP (0x0806), length 60: truncated-arp

now i must copy the mac adres paste it somewhere else remove the colons copy it again and then paste it in the page.
This is not a bug, this is by design. And, yes it's set to default, not 255 (255 == -1). If you do not like this - submit your request to BroadcomQuote:

Is this a bug or i'm missing something?
This is a dropbear bug, fixed now in the 0.46, would be included to the firmware.Quote:

Any diference from the router configuration that i made to use this connection to internet was switch from PPOE to Automatic ip in WAN connection type.
Another observation, its when this happen all i need its to disconnect from the router like. Disable the ethernet device and reconnected again. The same happens to wireless connections. And sometimes i just need to wait so i can get back the WAN working again.
Does anyone know this issue or how can i resolve?
Can be this a problem from my modem or isp?
I hope that someone could help me out.
Oleg, could we have a TARPIT target for iptables in the next firmware?
I would just love to throw these attackers in! :D
It's already there.Quote:

How do I get access to the USB-Harddisk with this firmware (with CR4 it was /tmp/harddisk, but it isn't possible with the CR6)
Thanks a lot
//EDIT: I'm sorry, I didn't plug in the device correctly... Sorry
