Firmware v1.9.2.7 CR5, updated: v1.9.2.7 CR5a [Oleg]

hello!
i fleshed this firmware on my asus and then i tryed this command:
[admin@(none) sbin]$ wshaper start
Cannot find device "root"
Error: Qdisc "1:" is classless.
Error: Qdisc "1:1" is classless.
/sbin/wshaper: 69: Syntax error: 9*/10

any ideas where is problem? sor for my newb quest :confused:

wshaper needs more parameters, especially the device which to shape:

Code:

---

wshaper start eth1 1000 220

Again you've made an error in the commandline. The '$1' parameter can only be used in the post-firewall script (It's a variable in the post-firewall script, therefore the command prompt does not know what '$1' is). When you use the commandline from within a telnet session use:

Code:

---

wshaper start eth1 1000 220

---

Make sure you understand why you need to use eth1 instead of $1. Please search this forum and read the Wondershaper thread thoroughly.

Or don't. It should do with a skim. Actually, I think it's a Wiki (unless you count the custom firmware page which is neither a Wiki nor a thread), and honestly, I don't see why everybody has to read something thoroughly or even understand it if they just want to get something working. I mean, I'm not quite that way--I usually like to understand it, but looking back on all of the time I spent on this router... I don't think it's even worth it considering how naturally unstable the wireless function is, seemingly no matter what driver. Ahem. Besides, the Wiki just explains some internal manipulations, and it was denounced quite recently for not being up-to-date and not explaining much.

i cant make it work because i think it's for the old firmware.
now, the /init is not valid anymore.

But THIS Wiki page should be of more assistance:

http://wiki.wl500g.info/index.php/ho...CR4%20firmware

Anyway, and sorry if I seemed rude but I just dislike the whole "read a book" philosophy when you just want to get a tiny thing working (and especially if the information isn't even fully available in that book, and especially if you have to hunt down that book first at a specified location in which it doesn't exist--and all this coming from someone who knows the answer to your question), here's a more direct approach:

1. You seem to already know the values for Download and Upload, but you can double-check them if you want.
Determine the theoretical download speed of your connection (the speed your ISP says you get). Guides seem to suggest doing the opposite and using "real-world" values, but for me they make downloads slower (e.g., choosing 3500 will limit it to about 2200 on download speed tests so I use 4500; maybe it's my ISP, do what works best, feel free to experiment and try real-world values too but only after stopping wondershaper). Couldn't hurt using the real-world upload value I guess. I only really noticed issues with using the real-world download one.
As part of step 1, you can test values and speeds by using a site such as http://performance.toast.net/ for your test site and doing the following to test:
Access your router with telnet, ssh, or whatever (telnet 192.168.1.1, usually) and log in. I assume your WAN interface is eth1. Most are. If not, try ppp0. If not, search the forum. Anyway, use the following to test wshaper, replacing WanIf with your WAN interface (try what I said for that; it's usually eth1), MaxDown with the maximum download you've calculated, and MaxUp with the maximum upload:
$ wshaper start WanIf MaxDown MaxUp
To see the status (I doubt you would ever want to), do this:
$ wshaper status WanIf
To stop wondershaper for comparative testing or whatever, do this (note that it's unnecessary to stop wondershaper before running another "wshaper start", that's done automatically):
$ wshaper stop WanIf
Now determine your best values and continue on to make them (sort of) permanent.

2. Access your router with telnet, ssh, or whatever (telnet 192.168.1.1, usually) and log in.

3. If you don't already have post-firewall set up for anything, continue reading. If you do, learn how to use vi (it's a little bit beyond the scope of even this discussion, but it's just "vi /usr/local/sbin/post-firewall", press the i key to insert anything, press ESC to get out of that mode, press a capital J to join two lines, press d twice to remove a line, press :w to save, :q! to forcibly quit, or :wq to save and quit, use the arrow keys to "move around," and that's about it I think) add the line "/sbin/wshaper start $1 MaxDown MaxUp", replacing everything in caps with what you really want, and removing the quotes :).

4. Since you don't have post-firewall set up, this should work for you every time... but "cat" it to double-check (cat /usr/local/sbin/post-firewall). If nothing shows up, yay. Read on. Otherwise, or if you want to change it, go up to step 3 (use "vi" as an editor and go into insert mode as I describe).

5. Perform this (without the $ included):

Code:

---

$ mkdir -p /usr/local/sbin
$ echo "#!/bin/sh" > /usr/local/sbin/post-firewall

---

6. Now do this, replacing MaxDown and MaxUp with the correct values:
$ echo "/sbin/wshaper start $1 MaxDown MaxUp" >> /usr/local/sbin/post-firewall

7. THE FOLLOWING IS REQUIRED TO SAVE EVERYTHING YOU'VE JUST DONE!

Code:

---

$ flashfs save
$ flashfs commit

---

8. Good. Now reboot to test your changes.
$ reboot

9. If you want to make sure wshaper has actually run, and correctly, you can use this, as I described in step 1:
$ wshaper status WanIf
If it's not, that will probably turn up blank or something like it.

10. Yay. Now, if it's not working, first check to see if anybody has corrected me and I haven't fixed it. Next, check your work.

Phew. OK. Again, sorry for the rudeness there Styno. I'm a little grouchy because I had to get up early... I don't drink coffee, surprisingly.

Tomillius, I appreciate you trying to help here, but I disagree with you. When someone registers here as a user, the forum rules are displayed and it would be nice if ppl followed the rules a bit better. Let me quote the first forum rule:

Quote:

---

• Try to solve your problem first!
If you have a problem, it is the intention you open a topic at the moment you are not able to solve it anymore AFTER trying it yourself. Always read the manual and take a look at the support page of the manufacturer. Try searching google, google groups and offcourse the search function at the forum. A lot of FAQs at other forums have solutions. If a question is already asked, or it is easy to solve or find yourself, than it is not the intention to post it here.

---

This rule has a reason: At one point there were so many new forummembers asking the same questions over and over again, it became irritating and very time consuming for the more regular members to answer those questions. It also drowns the really intersting and new problems/solutions. In the past these kind of posts, as the one discussed here, would have been trashed by the moderators. Unfortunately, if noone steps up and tries to keep things clean here in the forum, then it would become a mess real quick. And if that makes me a bully .... ah well, I don't give a shit.

Again: The question asked here has been asked (almost) literally a few times before, so finding the appropriate info shouldn't be really that hard.

If you would like to further discuss the forum rules, this should be done through a separate thread or by PM.

Actually, I couldn't find the answer specifically addressed after looking for a good few minutes. The Wiki was no help for newbies of the subject and should be modified.. but I don't really feel like doing it :). I understand your other points completely, though. If getting wondershaper up and running has been directly addressed anywhere else (and applicable to current-generation firmware), then I do apologize for that--I just couldn't find it in what I felt was a reasonable amount of time. And I suppose I still remember what it's like to be a newbie (at other forums in which I am no longer, that is, because I still sort of am one here).

excellent all ;) I love this community...

btw, tomilius, I need your help ;)

- In the Wondershaper topic; exactly the same problem + the answer from Oleg: read post number 35 and 36.
- A topic about this problem + an answer: http://wl500g.info/showthread.php?t=2212
- Even Google gives the answer when searching for the error (3rd result): http://www.google.nl/search?hl=nl&q=...lassless&meta=

Pretty much proves my point :rolleyes:

About the WIKI, yes that one is rather outdated. I created *kuch* *kuch* most of those articles in the 1.7.5.9 days when I myself was a noob too. I can't find the time and spirit to do an update round. Work, forum, GF and Webtools require all my time. I was kinda hoping the community would pick it up as soon as a number of articles would be present, but not much is happening there...

Oh. Yeah. It was early when I posted that... or at least it was when I read that post. Kind of pathetic. The information he was looking for was there, though there was no direct, thorough guide on getting wondershaper going (if you need one, do you have any business using it anyway?), and that's what I was looking for and couldn't find. Hehe. Sorry. :D I get obsessive.

I have the same problem as tomekk.

only i have a Cabel dhcp connection.

Since i upgraded to cr5a, my wan dies.
There is no log of it in the syslog.

Is that also in the next firmware?? or do u need more info to help me out.

Well like we said in this topic for my case the solutions are:

- For WAN problem when diferents types of wireless cards connect, desactivate the WMM.

- For FTP problem you will need to wait for the next release of oleg's firmware.

All others firmware freatures are working very well..

Hi guys!!!

I've bought WL-500g recently to connect me and neighbours to Internet. I've got quite good wifi connection with public IP address. The network consists of:

- Asus WL-500g connected to Internet (ethernet WAN)
- Alfa AP set to WDS with Asus
- 3 Ovislink client devices connected to Alfa AP
- 2 my laptops connected to Asus or Alfa

I started with latest official 1.9.4.0 Beta, everybody was dancing and singing. But only until neigbour's son started with huge downloads, using Bittorent (or how's the thing called). When running that, my speed is like 10-20 kbits and ping about 3 seconds!!! The line is 512/128 kbit down/up, with 15-20 ms ping on idle.

I say OK, no problem, there's Bandwidth Management in WL-500g. I've limited his IP to 64 kbit download, it seemed to work. Next day he promised me to download only at night and I removed the limit. Obviously, he turned it on again few hours after the promise. I've set the limit again, but it didn't work any more. I was trying to set the limit again and again, the only thing I achieved was that I had to reset the Asus because it was no longer possible to connect to web interface.

After that I decided to try Oleg's 1.9.2.7 CR5a, set up Asus again and started to read about Wondershaper. I've got some Linux knowledge, but to be honest, using just web interface would be easier for me. I've tried to set the limit using web interface again and found it uses wshaper, but probably different way than described here - I've found no /usr/local/sbin/post-firewall. So, this is the story and a couple of dumb questions now:

- is it suitable for my purpose to use just web interface to set bandwidth limit???

- if I decide to set it up manually, could somebody advice me how (ports, priorities,...) and make a script for me???

- if doing it manually, there is probably some more sophisticated setting than just limit speed for one IP address. Any suggestion is welcome

I think the webinterface should do the trick. It limits the total bandwith to a certain pc (not just bittorrent, but HTTP, FTP, etc. too). Don't know why it stopped working...

That's a difficult one. The 'tc' (and Wondershaper) possibilities are virtually endless. Your problem can be solved in several ways, but the simplest way (which is implemented using the webinterface afaik) is to limit the bandwith to the neighbours son and to give everyone else the rest.

For the other options you could take a look at my script in the Wondershaper discussion thread. It is an example of an customized Wondershaper script.

I think possibly a bigger question you should be asking is, "do I have the time and the energy to deal with a router and its problems every few days?" For me, this router has been no picnic, and having to mess with it every 2 days is no exaggeration at all... OK, well, most of that was just customized tweaking, but I haven't found the wireless interface to be stable worth anything nor the router to be very reliable overall--that's just me, many people I'm sure have gotten it stable and set up great for their purposes, but... *shrug.* It's something to consider. I'm mostly saying this as an "I told you so," really, in case it happens to you too. ;)

Either way, welcome to the community, Pup. You may be here for a while. Muhahahahahaha! I've taken Styno's logical view on newbies (I'd be happy to explain everything, but I must restrain myself or everyone will feel they deserve equal explanation which I likely won't be willing to give a 3rd, 4th, or 5th time--I'm serious, not poking fun at anything here) :) so you'll have to do some looking around the forum and site to figure out the internal mechanisms of custom firmware and, perhaps, of linux too. I'll tell you one thing, since you mentioned it: post-firewall must be created. I guess I'll give you a link too, but just one: http://wl500g.dyndns.org/. Follow Styno's Wondershaper link as well, and you shouldn't have any trouble finding the Getting Started section, which I've restrained myself from linking... oh, no I haven't. Now that's all. In a perfect world you'd have found and used those already, and possibly even solved your problem.

Styno & Tomilius,

thank you for quick response, guys.

Just to explain my approach. You hit the nail on the head, Tomilius. I really don't have time to become WL-500 and Linux expert. First I was just trying to work out my trouble, finding the best value for money (time, effort,...) solution, after I realized that the easy web interface setting didn't work. I understand also your approach and you might be surprised that I had read all the things you mention. I really know that post-firewall must be created and I would probably have no problem to follow step by step instructions in your post 16336 (thank you for it!!!). I just didn't find any suitable-for-dumbs-like-I-am explanation how to build the script - all the commands and their parameters. After reading all that stuff my feeling is there's a lot of useful things I can get, but it will take a lot of time to make them work, for a dumb like me. My idea was to ask somebody here to give me some template script I can just put some values (port numbers, kilobits,...) in, test and use.

Well, now I hope Styno is right and the easy way will work, to solve the trouble. Then I will see if I somebody gives me a hand or I will have time and energy to study and test all the stuff. I understand there are bunches of possibilities how to improve connection behavior, prioritizing response time sensitive applications. I like idea to protect the network funcionality against people like this "downloader".

If you don't have the time/effort to exert on one method, another is to kick down the neighbor's door, open his BitTorrent client (you may have to get him a better one such as BitComet), and set an upload/download limit. There's another important thing. You have to limit the upload or you're screwed for the download too. That may WELL be the problem. Limit the upload to, say, 32k.

Tomillius, I can almost see you writing the stuff that you do, very illustrative :)

Pup, I', sorry, but writing a customized wshaper script will take me hours and when I send you that script you probably want something to be different so I can spend another hour or so. Then another guy steps in and say's: 'community, can you make me a script that does so and so, please?', by then I can spend all my spare time doing the hard work for others who don't have (or don't want to spend) time on it. Also we (I) don't get paid to do so, therefore I give you hits to the solution and you should figure it out by yourself. If you've studied the hints and have further question, you're welcome ofcourse.

Consider the WL-500g as a new hobby you just bought. :rolleyes:

Note: As I'm not a native English speaker, I might seem rude or blunt but it's all meant in a positive way!

I've got the message, guys :-) It just took me some time to accept the fact I've bought a toy instead of tool.

I spent last night testing. Here are my findings.


Shaping set by web interface is definitely unusable. It shapes the bandwidth, but:

- Web interface to Asus is almost unserviceable from computers with limited bandwidth. You're constantly getting error messages in IE and you have good luck if you succeed just to remove the speed limit. This is the reason why I had to reset the unit last time.

- When down- or uploading on machine with limited bandwith, you have not very slow, but even no ping. You get just timeout messages, even if pinging only the router.


After that, the decision was very easy - set up post-firewall with wshape. I also tested and proved that running upload terribly degrades downloads. It was mentioned here regarding DSL, but it's the same for Wi-Fi WAN connection.

For the beginning, I decided to use very simple scenario - put bandit's IP in low priority:

/sbin/wshaper start $1 250 120 192.168.15.6

Since he's probably out for weekend I don't know results yet. But at least upload doesn't affect download and pings are very quick even if I have upload and download running together. Big difference!!!

Dark side is that I lost more than just 10% or so of the line speed, because my connection has a special behavior, designed for browsing and against downloading. Connection speed is doubled, but only for 10 seconds. After 10 seconds of full load it slows down back to the base limit. This feature in fact doubles the speed for browsing, but I must set the basic limit in wshaper to solve troubles with up- and downloading, which slow down the connection to the base limit.

You're coming along quite well I see. The problem with bandwith shaping is indeed the fact that you need to set the highest sustained bandwith instead of the maximum. And even then you need to keep some extra headroom.

What might be a solution is to use a dynamic distribution of the available bandwith. Below is an example of a class definition where a certain base bandwith is assured, but when needed AND available, it can borrow bandwith from other classes.

tc class add dev $DEV parent 1:1 classid 1:30 htb rate (($UPLINK/10))kbit ceil $((9*$UPLINK/10))kbit burst 6k prio 2

Hello,
What is the diffence between the 1.9.2.7 CR5a version and the 1.9.2.7 version of the ASUS site?

What is the last stable version for the WL-500g?

thank you

Dynamic distribution sounds interestingly, but I have no idea how to use it for me. The "speed doubling" is especially useful for web browsing, but when somebody starts http download and I have higher limit for http than sustained line speed, I lose all the advantages of shaping, I believe.

BTW, another side effect of shaping showed up. Web interface to Asus is (almost) unusable from Internet now - no problem from LAN, big problem from WAN. Looks that web connection to Asus via shaped interface is a problem. Not only web management, also connection to camera doesn't work. Or better, it looks that ASP pages with Java script don't work, static (display.jpg on camera) picture works.

Speaking about camera, after connecting it router's CPU runs constantly on 80-90% load by rcamd. I'm very interested how stable it will be now.

Generally, my feeling about WL-500g is that it has a lot of features, but often not finished and tuned. Also, I'm in doubts how many of them you can use at time, with respect to router's HW resources.

I guess you're right about that. This dynamic behaviour of your ISP WAN connection is a problem for standard shaping stuff. I have no answer for that problem. If you're desperate you should readup on linux traffic shaping www.lartc.org.

If it was a well polished and finished product there wouldn't be such a large community, d'you think? But anyway, try and find a product wich is significantly better at the same price compared to a WL-500g with this Oleg firmware....

I'm just a bit dissapointed that things don't work as promised. I've bought quite expensive Philips Toucam Pro II (PCVC840K) camera and I can get only very compressed 320x240 static JPEG from Internet. ActiveX streaming stuff works nicely, but only from LAN/WLAN. Motion detection also doesn't work, it's only bombing me with e-mails when I hot plug the camera with Sense Level set to High or Medium, regardless any motion in front of the camera. After reboot I get no e-mail any more.

Yes, I know I can get another PWC driver and set it to 640x480, I can also get much better motion detection software, put all that stuff to USB memory stick and start to play. I would do it (and love it) if I were ten, twenty years younger.....

Just one question. I cannot connect to Asus using Telnet from Internet. I've set port forwarding (virtual server in web interface) of port 23 external IP to the same port on internal IP, it doesn't work. I use port forward for web access to the other AP and all client devices in WLAN, without trouble. What's wrong?

Sorry, Oleg, but you should understand I didn't complain about your work. Since I never bought anything from you I can hardly criticise you. Wrong place, you're right.

Hi,

just for peoples who don't know, why your CAM doesn't show larger pages :eek:

It isn't OLEG's fault, to look behind the szene you need to take a look at this Page:

http://www.smcc.demon.nl/webcam/

This page tells you the storry about the PWC Sources from the original author
and why his support ended.


And this Page:

http://www.saillard.org/linux/pwc/

This Author took over the ended work from the one above and is trying to get a complete new Kernel-Module working on this compression stuff he still is working (I think).

To complete the Storry who's fault it is !!!

it's the Fault from Br...c.m/A..S/D-.... and others, why ???

Well, just because the Firms mentioned above doesn't give out the Sources for the WLan and Ethernet Modules, and because of this we can't build one of the newest kernel where the new PWC-Module would like to work with (It dont like the older 2.4'er Series anymore).

I even tried to build the newest 2.4.31'er kernel with success, the only problem we have, how to get the f.. oooops sorry

The nice wl.o Module to work with the newer kernel since we don't have the Source we aren't be able to modify the structure to get it to work with the newer kernel. We don't even know how to patch the kernel.

And don't even think about the 2.6'er kernel versions. Since the complete WL-XXX productline is sold with a complete GNU-based enviroment the owner should give this Sources back to the GNU-Comunity, they are trying to turn us dumm, when they give just about 90% of it out, but the rest of 10% the driver, which is needed to get this thing done, is missing only the old stuff from 2.4.20 is there and a pre compiled kernel module.

And when you try to get all the Information together, then you will notice, that all Firms that sell products based on that Br...... Components, just give never away a newer kernel as the the 2.4.20.

A..S tried to be smart and was trying to patch the older 2.4.20' kernel with some USB-Stuff from the 2.4.25' Version, just to open the possibility for newer USB-Stuff to add.

To get a working Kernel for this MIPSy thing isn't that hard, it took me about 3 days to get the new kernel from

http://www.linux-mips.org/wiki/Main_Page

compiled with the normal-Board stuff from BR...... inside of it, but if it comes to the Ethernet/Wireless stuff, I was lost in the air. I just noticed it as soon as the kernel compiled through and I was ready to build the TRX-Image for my nice little WL-HDD thing. It don't like to mix the kernelversion (wl.o for kernel 2.4.20 and the new 2.4.31 don't like each other)

To bad :mad: , that I figured everything out, as I ended with the kernel and glued everything together. (oops why it doesn't work :confused: )

If you like and have a linux system up and running, get the stuff from here:

And go ahead cooking :D :D :D .

If you know a little kernel-hacking then try to get the wl.o module to gether wih a kernelversion 2.6 Working, if you are good in reverse engineering, then I think you would make those people here :

http://linux-bcom4301.sourceforge.net/go/progress

and other points in the internet happy and us of course too.

This Posting wasn't ment to be a picks or a hit to you or others here in the Forum, I wrote this just because it took myself a lot time for collecting all this Information.

By the way if you would like to help us getting the sources and you are rich ?? then take a look here ??

http://gpl-violations.org/index.html

But as far as I understand all this things with my normal english, I think the GPL-Violation.org only try to get the firms to tell on there Homepages, that they are using GPL'ed Software. Some of them which this site talk about success are just showing the Links to the Homepages, where they got the Sources from to build the Firmware fora minimum amount of dollars for a maximum business !!!

But they don't show how nor even tell and don't think about the sources.

I think that's the complete storry if I made any mistakes sorry fell free to correct me, and before I forget every name beloning to a firm or is trademarked by a firm belongs to this firm etc.
Sorry for my bad english, I'm german ;) ;)

@PUP:

If you are upset with the current Situation, feel free to contact your lawer for a expensive fight against br.., AS..., D-L..., lev.. O.., Longs...., etc.

But like I said above, I thnk the main Problem is Bro..c.m since the other are just bying the whole stuff from them !!

I think the complete sources are to expensive instead fof just a kernel-module.

We will see, when A..S give out the new 1.9.4.xx Version Firmware for the wl500g ;-)

If they are still sitting on this kernel release, it realy looks like as they don't have the full sources (that's my my opinion)

Hi all,

I am using also firmware version 1.9.2.7-5a on my 500g and it's working perfectly for my Windows notebook using WPA-PSK.
Also it's no problem to connect to the router using a Mac with OS/X 10.4 (Tiger) installed. Problem is, that that the Mac is unable to reconnect after waking up from sleep mode. You'll have to choose the connection manually again providing network name, encryption type and pre-shared key.

Maybe others here have encountered the same problem meanwhile and can give me some help because I really don't have any idea where to search for...

Greetz, Lars

Looks like Mac OS or driver problem. I had similar problems with windows 2000 and orinoco gold card.

Hi there!
First of all, thank you for this great firmware !
I've been using the custom firmwares for a while now and every time there is a new version, the wan connection seemd to be more more stable, but sice xxxx-5a I have to reset my router every 2 weeks. And in the last 48 hours, I had to reset it twice. Here is the logfile:
