AP scan utility

For those who don't like the text mode of Telnet, there is a simple monitoring utility for Windows: http://www.mujweb.cz/www/jirka36/aptest2.zip. Thanks to some people from CZFREE.net forum this utility was written in about 30 minutes. Don't expect too much but I think it could be pretty useful for antenna positioning. It will work with latest patched firmware 1.6.5.3-2 for WL-500g from Oleg. firmware 1.6.5.3-2 :)

Nice Utility, althought he user interface is somewhat "Spartian". I have been to the mentioned Czech site, however my Czech is as bad as my Russian, so I will post my experiences here.
* When refresh rate set to maxium the program will/can crash ("-4 is not a valid integer value")
* There is no control to select a different AP when more than 1 AP is available, even not with the AP field (looking at the terminal output it is screwing up the AP name).

:) Yes I know, the utility is a bit buggy at the moment and I have already reported the problems to the forum. Perhaps I will get a source code from author and will be able to fix the issues soon. ;)

Update - the source code was not released but some update was promised by Author - let's wait... :) In the meantime there's a new link to slightly debugged version above.

The link to the APP is broken :confused:

Well, so please use the old link to previous version... In fact there's no difference - there is a serious bug still. Unfortunately Author did not release source codes nor any other update yet and I don't have time to write down the similar software from the beginning. :(

Is posible monitor clients or other AP in WDS mode connected to my WL300g ?

(sorry for my terrible english) :)

thanks

:(
can't find this tool anywhere on the net!
can someone please post a wotking url for a "wl scan" monitoring tool?

thanks,
:rolleyes:

you can monitor traffic with util asusmon :eek:

Hello everybody who have been looking for a GUI scan tool for ASUS wl-500g. I found on the Internet just one called AP-test2. Because it was not perfect I created my own tool based again on Telnet and wl scan. It works only with custom firmware, i.e. Oleg's. You can download the latest version here.

I can send you the scan tool you were talking about. matej.liszka@seznam.cz My latest tool: this thread

It's fine, but when I change host IP (I have another), it is always connecting to 192.168.1.1. Please, can you fix it? And it is possible to remember this another IP? (e.g. via some config file) Thx.
(zlaty cesky rucicky) :)

The latest version is here. Much lower CPU load, more stable due to ICS package from Overbyte. Last modified 06/03/2006 21:51. (old files removed)

Hi, very good job, very good utility for every WL-5xx owner. But one question: Is normal this program is freezing under Win98?

It is possible. The tool has not been tested under Windows 98. I just run it in XP. Maybe later I can test it also in 98...

Seems to hang under Win2k as well...

(It's still a very good job ! :-) Thanks !)

Now it should work. Here

hi,
i tried this tool but i get this error after wl scan : "eth2: Operation not supported"
I use Olegs 1.9.2.7-6b Firmware.
Did I need another FW version?

Hello,
I am not at home these days, so I can't test it but it could be caused by working mode of the router - is it station?

did you mean "Extended Mode:" ? it is set to "AP or WDS"

NICE!!! I like it very much :D

U should make it when u click on the SSID, automaticly to connect to that WLAN :D

I tried AsusMon, but am not sure how to use it ... ??

Does it have to run on a PC connected over wireless to the AP (WL-300g in my case), or on any PC in the LAN (wired) ??

I only get 'Disconnected' on the status line :-(

It's the same with my WL500GX - and the same error message... :confused:

Please open telnet connection to your WL500GX, log in and type "wl scan" and "wl scanresults" and send me the text of the session. I will look at it. Or enable logging in the tool and send the log file created. Thanks

i got the wl500g not deluxe is this maybe the reason?
here is the log text

Code:

[elron@(none) root]$ wl scanresults

after this there is the same text again

"wl scan" with telnet reply the same error

The router must be in Client mode (Extended mode "Station") first or you have to change the mode via Telnet to client and back (but AP of course stops working for a while):

wl ap 0
wl scan
wl scanresults
wl ap 1

or

wl ap 0
wl scan
sleep 1
wl scanresults
wl ap 1

if it works please let me know. I will soon adapt the tool to handle different working modes.

Here is new version for AP mode that switches automatically to client mode and back. Note: it interrupts AP mode. (old file removed)

now it is working, thx :cool:

Can you add the funktion to scan with "passive"? (wl scan -t passive)
(is not important but would be nice :D )

and what is the difference between "station" and "AP" mode?

I hope this is final version: for all modes, with passive scanning option.
Details about operation modes are described well in other threads.

New version now:) now with support of the latest firmware I hope...

What program language did you use ?

Best regards

I use Delphi 2005. The best choice for fast programming Win32 applications with GUI... But older Delphi versions were more user friendly... Telnet interface is ICS from Overbyte.

Thanks a lot. Will you provide the sources also ?
Maybe we can share some knowledge about thread programming...
I like your tool and have some idea to add some enhanced features.

What do think about it ?

Best regards

Can anyone help me with this problem?

I have a wl500g with oleg's 1.9.2.7-7c and i receive always this message
"cannot connect to host".

I've tryed to access by telnet and all ok. My host isn't in the 192.168.xxx.xxx
is on 10.xxx.xxx.xxx.

i thinks thats no the problem, but... i don't know.

Regards

Switch on logging and check the log file. If it doesn't help send the log file to me.

Excelent !

Great job !

I tried it with my WL-500W and it says "can't connect", there is no log. :(

The same here, I got Wl-500gP (Oleg's FW 1.9.2.7-8 (2007-10-30)), and wl scan is of 1.0.1.0 version from 9 March 2006. I use WinXP.

I enter correct information:
host: 10.9.8.1
user name: admin
password: (my pwd, cannot tell you that, but it is not long and I am sure I am typing it correctly)

After a few seconds from clicking "Connect" I get: "Wrong username or password" and the password disappears from the box!!! If I use another IP, the password stays in.

Telnet with mentioned credentials works OK, I successfully log in.

Liszka, dont you know where the problem could be? The program doesn't generate any log even if I set it up to make one.

Maybe Delphi 2005 is the best choice, but probably not in this case...

I must answer that the problem is not in Delphi itself but in the code :D . I know about it already some time but only few people sent their complaints. Now, already 3 people reported the problem and I decided to fix it. Give me several days please and you will get an improved version.

OK, looking forward to your next version. I'll test it immediately then.

Please find the new version on the previous page. Let me know if it works better than before. Thanks.

Ok, so I have just tried new version (WL SCAN 1.1) from 2008 . I put in correct IP adress, username and password, after clicking on Connect I can see in the lower bar:

Connecting
Logging
Authenticating
GettingApMode

and then a window pops up with "ERROR: Could not get AP mode."

That's all for now.

Hmmm...I've also checked the "log to file" checkbox, but no log has been created. If you somehow get it to work, I will give you the log in the future. It would be probably much more of help for you.

I still have the same version of Oleg's FW as I wrote a few posts ago. And WinXP SP2.
