--- UPDATE ---
Oleg discovered that it seems there was an error in the firmware, some users using PPTP could not connect anymore
With this new firmware I wasn't able to connect with internet. With the old one (1.6.5.3 the one I am using now) it works fine. I am using ADSL with PPTP. Does anyone have a clue, why it isn't working? When I connected to the router I got the message that I wasn't connected to the internet... but the thing didn't give me a reason...
I hope you can help. I would like to use the new firmware because it can stealth all my ports.
Has anyone been able to unpack and repack the new firmware? I suspect a change in the Asus header (or is it trailer...). What used to work with the old firmware: unpack/repack/upload no longer works with the new.
There is a serious error in the ASUS firmware - they forgot to assing an IP address to eth1 in the PPTP mode, so it does not work. They've commented out one line of code, which is doing that. If you need this I could repack the original firmware with this only change, but I think ASUS will release something like 1.7.5.7 in the several days.

If you could do that, I would be very happy. My PPTP connection doesn't work with the new firmware and maybe this is the problem...

Is it safe for the router to use the Tx Power adjustment, can it get damage by oveheating? How far up can I go (I have the router away from people), is it 84 mW? Would I get improvement in range?
Originally posted by RCR Answering my own question...
Just a suggestion. I'm recommending you to learn how my Makefiles do all the required packing. Trailer itself is 64 bytes, but they should be the last 64 bytes of firmware, taking in account, what firmwares are always 4096 bytes aligned.
Also I'm attaching the pack script which I've used in early stage of making the firmwares. It's slightly outdated (1.6.5.3 versioned firmware, but could be easly changed).
Guys, updated firmware (with pptp fix only) is available at http://wl500g.dyndns.org/wg01070506_WL500g_en_pptp.zip
consider it as experimental. The change itself was the removing comment sign (#) in the /init/rc.wan part related to pptp.
