Firmware v1.9.3.5 BETA

[Antiloop]

WARNING: BETA VERSION
TRY AT YOUR OWN RISK!

DO NOT UPGRADE UNLESS YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING
DOWNGRADE IS NOT EASILY POSSIBLE!!

Changelog:

Fix 10 problems:
1. P2P networks causing lost of connectivity due to limited number of connections which firewall is keeps tracking (1024 by default)
2. Missing timezones at least for Australia, Azores Islands.
3. Radius authentication does not work.
4. Client mode does not work as expected: could not access internet in client mode.
5. Idle timeout and Tx only does not work with PPPoE.
6. Encryption WPA-PSK AES and WEP, WEP functions like it should but WPA-PSK AES does not function right.
7. WDS using WPA encryption does not function. No connection is established.
8. Bandwidth management page treat rate values as kilobytes, not kilobits.
9. WAN DHCP IP renewal does not work correctly with some ISP configurations, connections get dropped due to reacquiring of IP address.
10. Internal ftp server does not truncate files before overwriting, resulting in corrupted file if newer file is smaller than old one.

important!!

When upgrading from 1.7.x.x based firmware: you MUST Reset your WL500g to defaults via the restore button at the back after upgrading to this firmware!

you do not have to do this when you upgrade from 1.8.x.x based firmware!
but we RECOMMEND you to do a restore to defaults.

Do not import saved settings from older/other firmwares! this can cause unstability to your device

Anybody else has WPA-PSK: TKIP problems with 1.9.2.7 and up, including custom firmware? I know I did (/do). But I didn't seem to have any for close to 12 hours with this firmware (I stopped because of problems ASUS still hasn't solved that custom firmware has).

7. WDS using WPA encryption does not function. No connection is established

.

wont work, just as the other firmwares. Someone else tried this firmware and got it working. tell me how u did it

[Spot]

Seems that not all process automatically start after each reboot (like pppoe connection to isp, ntp server, dyndns update or even dhcp-manual assignement...) or are executed with very long delays!

Problems occurs randomly, I think

I also noticed that the asus gateway upnp icon (under win XP) does'nt appear immediately after 1st boot... and when It shows up, it does'nt desapear even when the router is unplugged

So... lot of strange behaviours that I never encounter with previous fw!

Did you reset to defaults properly?

[Spot]

Did you reset to defaults properly?

Everytime I upgrade (or downgrade ), I do a software restore, than I change fw with the restoration tool, than I do a hardware reset and finaly, I unplug my router for more than 10 minits... so I guess I take care enough ...

But , yesterday, before doing this upgrage, I noticed that trying to change some params in my setup (fw 1.9.2.7 cr3), they didn't stay permanents after reboot!

Do you thing that has something to do with my results?

Idle timer only resets on Tx (transmit = from you to your ISP).

i think my router 500g dous not terminate the conecting to isp with idle time 300

There are other members like you having the same problem. Theoretically the Tx only option should be turned on for you, but it apparently doesn't work with most firmwares.

Search this forum for some of our Portugese members as they reported the same problem. http://wl500g.info/showthread.php?t=782
