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:

See you later.

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:

clearly port 80 not getting it's minimum half megabit.
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:
