firmware with some hacks and addons:

-----------------------------------------------------------

OpenWRT forum firmware:
http://forum.openwrt.org/viewtopic.php?pid=71869
http://www.rn-design.net/WL-600gA-080808_1809.zip

The last firmware posted has already a torrent downloader, a service manager and a download manager(wget)

Everything working except ext3 support.

added a new menu in the usb section called Services, where you can start and stop some services.

Samba setup is working too.

Yodctcs can be accessed in http://192.168.1.1:8081
username: admin
password: admin

there is now a startup file where you can place
everything you want your router start when it boot.
This file is located in <yourflashdisk>/asus/startup

Inside the package there is another package named 'harddisk'
Extract the contents to you flash disk

Update the router with the included file 'wl-600gA-080803_1809'

You can add more services to the list, check the file <yourflashdisk>/asus/thttpd/www/cgi-bin/services

still work in the ext3 and webcam support.

One more thing
The directory structure should be like this

<flashdisk>___asus
|
|_ torrents
| |____download
|
|_partilha



-----------------------

after this message http://wl500g.info/showthread.php?t=16628 we can wait for new firmware from OpenWRT or DD-WRT!!!!!!

Hello,

I am currently facing a problem, that I need wl600g to keep reconnecting ADSL even if it gets "Authentication Failure" error.

Is NARS reconnect patch usable for this? Can you point me to the right direction, where I could find sources of this patch?

Thank you for the answer

+ renew apps to TheDrake 0517 firmware
+ added darkstat to hd apps
+ added darkstat to services page (darkstat start only if WAN interface UP!)
+ added "Show config" to each services
+ fully worked Midnight Commander
+ dctcs work with IE
+ added some iptables commands to startup to enable services on WAN (please test)

- download file ftp://78.25.8.242/wl600/wl600_hd_0522.tar.gz

+ added OpenSSH to hd apps (to generate keys run /var/harddisk/asus/ssh_keygen.sh)
+ added Currently running tasks button in Services
+ added sshd and cron to services
+ prepear to runnig scheduled scripts, please paste your scripts to:
/var/harddisk/asus/etc/cron.5mins
/var/harddisk/asus/etc/cron.hourly
/var/harddisk/asus/etc/cron.daily
/var/harddisk/asus/etc/cron.weekly
/var/harddisk/asus/etc/cron.monthly


- download file ftp://78.25.8.242/wl600/wl600_hd_0526.tar.gz
- enable ftp on router
- by ftp copy file to router
- connect to router by telnet
- after router menu type sh command
- then:

cd /var/harddisk
tar xzvf wl600_hd_0526.tar.gz

wait until unpack. unpack may be long time that's why periodicaly (one time in five minutes) press any key (arrow for example) or set in terminal software keepalive settings.

Midnight Commander can start in telnet by:

 /var/harddisk/asus/mc.sh

if you file system ext2 after unpack you have ALL worked apps.

if you file system FAT/FAT32 than in telnet:

/var/harddisk/asus/fat32_libs.sh

[Lumpy]

I was very disappointed when I did not find the static DHCP function in the original web interface! This is a very simple function that is implemented even in the cheapest routers, but still I dont see it in WL-600. How do I enable static DHCP on my WL-600g, maybe not via web, but telnet? Which of the custom firmwares support this function? I need it very much!

[Poceiro]

Hello
I'm a new owner of a Asus-WL600g router.
It is a very complet router, but there one function that I would like to have on it.
Direct download from Http, Ftp, BT to the disk pluged on the USB port.
The same as they have it on the RTN-13U with the download manage software.
From all I read on thie Thread I think I understand that you could do it.
But as I'm a basic user, I dont have any skill on linux. Is there a firmware upgrade pakage file that I could implement on the router under the basic Windows XP ?
I would be gratefull if you can help me.
Thanks
