Firmware v1.9.2.7 CR4 [Oleg]

[iog]

Previously I had Asus FW 1.9.2.7, which worked well except that it dropped connection about every two days and had to be manually reconnected (on Bigpond cable). With Oleg's custom FW 1.9.2.7-CR4, connection drops out frequently (~5-10 minutes) with timeouts on browsing or email send/receive. It does reconnect automatically after a minute or so, but meanwhile, if using a VPN connection it fails. I had no dropouts with browsing or VPN with Asus 1.9.2.7. It does not look as if CR4 is much good on bigpond. I've reverted to 1.9.2.7. At least it does the basic stuff well for ~48 hours at a time!

I couldn't find a solution to my problem in this thread so I'm making this post.

I use WDS for internet connection and my setup is as follows. I have two physical locations, say Location1 (with router1 and wired+wireless clients) and Location2 (with router2 and wired+wireless clients). Router1 is connected to internet via 1Mbps ADSL on one end and on the other end through WDS to router2. Router1 and Router2 are about 70 metres apart and in visual contact. So far I had very good connection between routers, with effective data throughput of 1MByte/s (8Mbps). WDS mode is set to hybrid. I use WEP-128 bit encryption.

My problem is this: Ever since I upgraded fw from 1.8.1.9 (ASUS) to 1.9.2.7-4 (custom) I experience hickups in traffic on Location2. Traffic is very irregular and stalls sometimes. Effective data throughput has dropped to 100-200 kBps. If I ping router1 from Location2, some pings get lost (the longer the ping packets, more of them get lost). At Location1, everything is normal (for wired and wireless clients).

Has anyone else experienced this? What could be the cause? Could it be reduced output power, which was mentioned in ASUS release notes for this release?

Please help!

Bogdan, if you do not need the special features of the custom firmware, then try the ASUS 1.9.4.0 firmware.
Otherwise change the channel value to a high number and/or try a high power value (60 - 84).

I think that may be a wondershaper issue. Try not using it and seeing if it goes away.

Do you use ASUS bandwidth management page? If so, probably the values, which you've specified are too high.

Hi Oleg,

I installed the firmwire update to my ASUS WL500g. The problem is, it changed my password or/and username. Could you help me by e-mail me these codes? (dakraam@gmail.com)

From which version did you upgrade ?
did you try the default username/password "admin" and "admin" ?
Try reseting your unit to factory settings using the reset button.

By the way, you are not using the latest fimware from Oleg, here you can get the latest one : http://wl500g.info/showthread.php?t=4145

Read FAQ, you've to reset to defaults. Better use 1.9.2.7-7c.
