Please use, if your hardware is supported, the "enthusiast firmware".
More details later.
This howto is for firmware version 1.9.2.7-9 and newer. Older versions are not supported any more.
Important: I exclude any liability.
This HowTo is for newbies! please contact me if you find any mistakes.
0. Premises
I am working with an Asus WL-HDD. But this HowTo is known to work with other hardware where you can install olegs firmware.
The WL-HDD has a weak CPU and small memory, but it does the job :-)
You also need:
- basic linux knowledge (cd, vi, ps, df, free, top, ...)
- time. I needed about 5 hours for modifying my WL-HDD incl. dinner. So you need time.
- an internet connection for downloading the software.
1. Install firmware
The easiest way is the Asus Firmware Restoration Tool. Download the tool according to your hardware.
ASUS WL-HDD2.5 wireless hard disk drive box utility program in English
It will also work with the Asus Webinterface but be sure to have the restoration tool by hand.
Download olegs firmware: Firmware Wizzard (not allways newest) or directly at http://oleg.wl500g.info
Always use the newest version for your hardware model.
UPDATE:
There is an advanced version of oleg firmware.
This one is compatible to the original and is well maintained.
I recommend using this firmware if your hardware is supported.
This HowTo wil only work with versions 1.9.2.7-9 and newer!
Reset your Asus to factory defaults. (user:admin / pw:admin)
Extract the zip.
Install the Asus tool, start it and select "firmware restoration".
Select the firmware (hardware_version.trx) and click upload.
After the reboot browse to the Webinterface of the router and again reset to factory defaults.
Again a reboot and your router has a default oleg firmware.
remark:
My WL-HDD does NOT act as Router in my network. It is only a client. Because of this i will not handle firewall settings within this howto.
Do the following in the Webinterface:
- enter the Name of the router (mine is "blechbuechse").
- enter you IP settings (IP, gateway, DNS aso.)
- disable FTP, Samba, NFS
- enable telnet
- Change the password
- do any changes as you need them. (DHCP, time zone, WLAN, aso.)
- If used as router: login data, firewall, allow ping from WAN.
If this did NOT work until here you will NOT be able to go on!
2. Telnet
Start telnet. For Windows: Start-Execute - "telnet IPOFASUS"
user:admin / pw:admin
Test your internet connection:
Should look like this:
[admin@blechbuechse root]$ ping google.de
PING google.de (66.249.93.104): 56 data bytes
64 bytes from 66.249.93.104: icmp_seq=0 ttl=243 time=35.5 ms
64 bytes from 66.249.93.104: icmp_seq=1 ttl=243 time=36.5 ms
64 bytes from 66.249.93.104: icmp_seq=2 ttl=243 time=35.0 ms
--- google.de ping statistics ---
3 packets transmitted, 3 packets received, 0% packet loss
round-trip min/avg/max = 35.0/35.6/36.5 ms
[admin@blechbuechse root]$
The ping can be interrupted with ctrl-c.
If this is NOT working: Do not ping a name, ping an IP adress.
If you are not able to ping an ip adress: check your network (IP, DNS) settings and cabeling.
telnet is not a secure way to work on your asus. Espacially over internet. This is why you install SSH now:
3. SSH-deamon
TIP: You can copy & paste all commands within telnet and putty. For Windows use ctrl-c and ctrl-v, for putty mark the text and right click.
The name of the ssh daemon is dropbear. It can be activated with the Web Interface (System Setup->Services) if you use the "enthusiast firmware" (1.9.2.7-d-rxxxx). Using the new firmware you only have to generate the keys and startup scripts.
Users of firmwares before 1.9.2.7-d-rxxxx need to execute the whole chapter!
create startup scripts:
Code:
mkdir -p /usr/local/sbin/
touch /usr/local/sbin/pre-boot
touch /usr/local/sbin/post-boot
touch /usr/local/sbin/post-firewall
touch /usr/local/sbin/post-mount
touch /usr/local/sbin/pre-mount
touch /usr/local/sbin/pre-shutdown
chmod +x /usr/local/sbin/*
create a directory: (only firmware older than 1.9.2.7-d-rxxxx)
Code:
mkdir -p /usr/local/etc/dropbear
generate keys:
Code:
dropbearkey -t dss -f /usr/local/etc/dropbear/dropbear_dss_host_key
dropbearkey -t rsa -f /usr/local/etc/dropbear/dropbear_rsa_host_key
To make dropbear start at reboot: (only firmware older than 1.9.2.7-d-rxxxx)
Code:
echo "#!/bin/sh" >> /usr/local/sbin/post-boot
echo "dropbear" >> /usr/local/sbin/post-boot
Start dropbear:
Here is a listing of the active processes. dropbear should be one of them:
[admin@blechbuechse sbin]$ ps
PID Uid VmSize Stat Command
1 admin 580 S /sbin/init
2 admin SW [keventd]
3 admin SWN [ksoftirqd_CPU0]

94 admin SW [kjournald]
95 admin SW [kjournald]
99 admin 580 S -sh
128 admin 468 S dropbear
129 admin 392 R ps
save all the stuff and reboot:
Code:
flashfs save && flashfs commit && flashfs enable && reboot
That's it for this part.
