Already done that - no change, sorry.

• Terracam Pro (OV518) not Working, green Picture

- Can you make LPR, Waveserver, Jetdirekt printing jobs and maybe infosvr disable over web interface ?
- The USB RS232 Modules are nice

It should work, try repluging cam and rebooting router.

Probably.

[WlanMan]

Nope. Tried several times. Had this isue with R4 also, green picture but i think no syslog entrys. Just had no time to tell here.
The Cam worked on a x86 linux and windows box, so i am curious what the problem can be on 500g ...

Please, can you tell me what the wlan_update tool does, i started it acidentely (no --help parameter check ) and now have afterburner supported. I know it patches something in the chipset eeprom, is this possible harmfull and is it reversible ?
What does this mean it maybe fixes the range problem ?

One last, is the output of "free" meaningfull in any way ? Free mem value changes in a way that seems strange when loading and killing software.
Also samba is not working, deamons die without notice but i may have missed some configuration point.

Greets
Nice release after all.

Have you tried both refresh and activex mode? Also, try 1.9.2.7-4a. There was no webcam changes in the -5.

The things are not harmfull. Yes, they're reversible, but there is no reason to reverse them. This is a code "prepared" by ASUS. And as seems, ASUS will call this automatically starting with 1.9.4.0. Anyway, there was two changes performed enabled Afterburner (does not have an effect if you've disabled it in the web interface) and changed maximum allowed output power for the wireless part.

free = free + shared + buffered

Old upnp entries should not have any effect then upnp is disabled

What is ment by this? Is this a fix for the bug where upnp ports are never closed?

BTW, Thanks for the good work!

Well, it disables using of old upnp rules if you've disabled upnp in the router.

Has anyone else tried building the 1.9.2.7-5a release from the sources?. I tried serveral times but the same error apparently in patching a Makefile. I have successfully compiled the 1.9.2.7-4 sources in the past. I do the following...

tar -C . -xzf ./GPL_1927.tar.gz
tar -C ./broadcom/src -xjf ./wl500g-1.9.2.7-5a.tar.bz2
cd broadcom/src
cd *-5a
make uClibc
make kernel
make

Here is where the trouble is I get the following message

tar -C /home/d/wl500g1927-5/broadcom/src/router -cf - libcrypto | tar -C /home/d/wl500g1927-5/broadcom/src/gateway -xf -

make: *** [custom] Error 1

I'm not sure if I have the new step to make uClibc in the right order (it ssems like the right place). I can't find the file Makefiles5.diff anywhere. The error is in Makefile in broadcom/src/wl500g-1.9.2.7-5a.

Sorry to heap another complaint after the printer storm.

remove this line, it's no longer needed.

I would like to access my webcam picture (not the stream) (http://my.routers.ip.address:7776/display.jpg) from the internet, without having to use the password. I have STF but I could only find something with another (old) firmware. Is this possible with the 1.9.2.7-5a firmware, width og widthout modifications?

I will use the picture in my website, accessible for everyone...

Thanks. And thanks for a great forum and a great firmware.

Newer firmwares includes mostly everything, that was included before, so it should work.

[biglio]

so what about the ftp serve subdirectories..........
somone found the solution ????

[tomilius]

remove this line, it's no longer needed.

In regard to the Makefiles5.diff thing in the 1.9.2.7-5a patches... Maybe you could sort of fix that and reupload it so more people don't have to search the forums. I mean, it would be nice, unless a new release is planned soon... and even then...

Hi, I'm using 1.9.2.7 CR5 fw. I have a wlan internet connection. Everything works fine, but today I got some strange errors (when this happened, my connection stopped for 1 minute, then i worked again):

wtf is HTB and quantum of class? I have never met these expressions in networking. What does it mean?
