Firmware v1.7.5.6 CR3 [Oleg]

[Oleg]

Oleg,

I am confirming that the Apacer 256MB USB stick now works. Thanks!

I've not done anything special in the firmware. Have you tried any other firmwares? The only change in the CR3 was disabling USB bandwidth enforcement...

I do not know what you have done, but I think you've got magic fingers
In the previous version CR2 the whole box did not start (!) with the stick inserted, I exchanged the 256MB for a 128MB stick instead.

Hi guys,
I was tried to setup the Asus to client mode. I test three configurations:

1. eth2 has the IP in range of AP and br0 has private IP
   From Asus i ping around the world, from comp which is conected in LAN1 only to internal private IP
2. eth2 has private IP and br0 has in range of AP
   From Asus i ping only to internal IP, from comp which is conected in LAN1 only to internal IP (both)
3. eth2 hasn't any IP br0 has in range of AP
   From Asus i ping around the world, from comp which is conected in LAN1 only to br0 IP

My need to find a way to connect from comp in LAN1 to all internet, but not over the NAT on eth2. Its any way? I don't see any .

I upgraded my firmware to Oleg's v1756.CR3, and my wireless signal strength increased from average 20 Mbps to 40Mbps at the same location . This has been the case for over a week of the observation, not that I am complaining, but did any one have the same experience? I have the same setup with the older and newer firmware.

Great job, Oleg.

Is the Internet Firewall working properly?
I have to Accept all packets in order to have email and
browser work. (Probably culd also only open some ports).
This was not needed in the original and previous versions.
Am I doing something wrong or is functionality changed?

[Antiloop]

i think so, turn off firewalling eventually then the firewall should work fine (yes stealthed..)

[Deursen]

Turn of the firewall? I don't know if I like that option.
I forgot to mention that I have to enable all
WAN to LAN packets. If I turn off firewall then my
network is not protected!? What do you mean with
stealthed?

[Oleg]

In the "home gateway" mode your LAN is NATed and this means, that wl500g always performs stateful packet inspection in order to forward packet form WAN to LAN. So you can safely turn off the WAN to LAN firewall if you do not need any particular packet filtering.

hi there

first of all thanx to oleg for his great work.

after updating to v.1.7.5.6 CR3 [Oleg]
i get this log message about a hundred times:
ip_conntrack: table full, dropping...

i´m not into linux, but i think it´s related to my filesharing tool, and the number of connections.

is that right?

can anyone tell me HOW MANY connections the asus can do?
(is it possible to adjust this number myself - again, i´m not to much into linux)

thanks for help, guys

p.s. is it normal, that my asus hangs-up once a day
i powercycled it (for several minutes) and reflashed with CR3 a second time, but it´s allways the same.
with original v.1.7.5.6 everything was allright.

Hi,

I read that wol is working with Oleg's newest firmware release. I tried it with dslreports.com but it's the same as always (doesn't work). What am I doing wrong?

You need to manually execute ether-wake from the shell prompt.

sorry for the stupid question: I want to wake up my PC via Internet. I have turned on the remote management within my wl500g. How do I get the "shell-prompt"? Concerning the wl500g i only know the webinterface or do you mean the shell prompt within the remote OS?

I think he means by using ssh, telnet or webbased admin page : http://my.router/Main_AdmStatus_Content.asp

quite interesting, didn't know that AdmStatus. But which command do I have to type in there?

[Oleg]

Guys, to whom who has opened web access from the WAN side: please note that this VERY DANGEROUS, cause in this case you're sending your credentials (username, password) in CLEAR text. Everyone on the same wire can snoop them and use them to access you router and other security sensitive services. So, PLEASE do not enable web access from the outside and do not to use TELNET from the places which is not trusted (i.e. has public routes to your router).
In short: never use telnet or web management from the WAN side.
The only valid method for accessing you router is the ssh. Download putty and setup everything you ever need, including port frowarding for accessing web interface.
Regards,
Oleg.
