i've tried with a 2gb usb stick formated FAT
i didn't made the hole process but it is able to make fdisk comands.
I have formated FAT the HDD, and made a partition of 2 GB and the ret of 900 GB unpartitioned, but i had the old problem...
Could be a problem with the hdd?
If i connect the hdd in the router just for file sharing...it can't be seen...i have enabled samba and FTP, NFS is Not enabled...
Do you have any ideea?
what settings/configuration should i restore if i need to use other hdd? (hw failure on old one)
well, you need to restore .. pretty much everything :) . My advice is to reset the device to defaults and follow again the wengi's tutorial. Since most of the progs + their configs were on the hdd (opt partition), you won't feel the difference.
Just like the others, my Samba stopped showing suddenly. Everything looks fine, no error logs, just not showing anymore.
Also i have the same problem with Mediatomb media server. Sometimes works, sometimes not. It was not listed in this tutorial, but i think it should, because it provides a complete solution along with the samba server and torrent client.
Hy wengi, great work . I installed latest olg's firmware on my WL500-gp by your tutorial and it works like a charm, no error . But i have an question:
Seems like transmission don't work with local peer discovery. I will tell you why:
My network is an country network (from Romania, it's called RDS) and if i download a torrent with my u torrent from win XP i get around 150-200k downl rate without local peer discovery, but if somebody from my network ( about 500.000 users) is on line with that file my transfer rate jumps to 1,5 mbs or even 2 mbs. That thing is not happening in transmission.
Is any way to make it work there too for increasing speed if somebody from my network shares the file ?
Thanks, hope you will have an answer . Good job. My congrats.
You can mail me if you want, i will give my email. 10x
Hi,
i am sorry but this is too transmission-special.
I know how to install and configure but have no idea about local peer discovery.
But one minute google results in:
http://forum.transmissionbt.com/view...php?f=3&t=5754
http://trac.transmissionbt.com/ticket/1394
Seems that transmission still does not support this feature.

Thank you very much for your answer, maybe transmissiond has it ? but i have another question for you cuz i am a newbie :) :
I want to make my asus router to play some mp3 files from my hdd mounted on the device and play it to an usb soundcard ( My router stands on my 5.1 media sistem and it would be easy to play music or an radio - streaming one -without turning computer on).
Can i do this ? I gogle it but i do not have an very good answer. (Cuz i am a newbie).
If i can, i wold need an linux player for router an drivers for the sound card , no ? The soundcard is ESS USB Audio from Konig (cmp-soundusb12).
PLEASE HELP IF YOU KNOW , AN IF YOU DON'T MAYBE YOU CAN GUIDE ME TO SOMEBODY ELSE !
THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP !
I FOUND SOMETHING ON http://omgili.com/jmp/jHIAmI4hxg.9n1...FZUPNxH3FlaA-- BUT I DO NOT KNOW DEUTCH, and translated is rubbish ... HLP PLEASE
Never done that before.
Searching for soundcard here in the forum gives me an idea.
But i have no idea if this will work.
There is a german thread about that: http://wl500g.info/showthread.php?t=19813
This states that the newest firmware (http://code.google.com/p/wl500g/) should support soundcards.
"ipkg install libusb" ans "lsusb" should help if you get usb problems.
Then use

I think all the information is here in the forum. you have to read, learn and test.
wengi
thank you very much, but i do not know deutch :(( that is a problem for me
Hi,
three of the four links are english.
Where is your problem?
wengi
No problem here, just that the german forum seems to be more coplex on information on that thread, the others i read it. Thank you for your help.
As i said.
My knowledge with soundcards on routers is zero.
If you managed it to work you could write a short howto :)
wengi
Ok , i will do that 10x !
Thanks to your HOWTO I managed to install USB HDD yesterday!
However after the HDD installation when I reboot my Asus, it sometimes becomes crippled in a strange way. I mean some important modules & services are not loaded.
For example the et (ethernet) module is not loaded, so there is no LAN or WAN, and only way to access it is through wireless. Thank god the wl module was loaded!
Also dropbear wasn't started but httpd was, so I could access it and reboot again and then everything was normal
It seems to me that sometimes some startup scripts are loaded and sometimes not. Though I can't figure out why this happens???
Hi RDF,
Informations needed!!
- Hardware?
- Firmware?
- Full install of my HowTo?
- log files (dmesg, syslog, anything else that could help).
