[JaJoah]

@JaJoah

Your WEB-IF looks different as mine !! What Firmware you are running ?
You have a link in DM --> Install Utillities and your buttons looks different (Post No. 64)
What is behind the link ???????


...

Well, see for yourself



If you click on the link it will install the utilities that are also on your installation cdrom. Nothing special.

My Web IF looks the same as that of JaJoah... and I also have 1.0.4.1. The BT port range you mention is the same as mine.

But how does your Web IF look like then? (screenshot?)

[PXP52]

@Leviter

Look at post 62 and 64.
One sreenshot is mine and tje other from JaJoah.

My router shows me 1.0.4.1 is running in Web-IF, but the site of the DM in Web-IF looks different as mine.

@PXP52

Ah, I see!!! You use the default XP theme while JaJoah has set it to display it in 'classic' mode. This mode has no rounded buttons for instance. Also take a look at the buttons on the right top of the browser window itself in the screenshots you took and JaJoah took. These show the difference in themes.

(themes in XP can be set when you right click on your desktop and click 'properties')

... that however does not explain why you don't have the link to install the utilities.

@Liviter

The thing with the style i know. But i dont understand why the link is missing.
I will restore the firmware after work.

[bartgrefte]

a long story....

Btw, are any of you posters on GATHERING.TWEAKERS.NET ?

I go there every day

why isn't the 700g on the dutch asus site yet?

[PXP52]

@All

I find out how to shut down the disk of the WL-700gE :-)
You must push the PWR button for 10 seconds and the disk will shut down.
To wakeup the disk push the button again (short).

A other thing i miss is settings export and import

And damm , no answer from asus since 2 days about the filesize problem ! They are so slow

I just got mine and there is also that link! So that is strange with you.
So far I happy. it looks all good. will do some testing later..
HD shutdown doesn't work so far... Ok when the router is off it is shutdown

[IMM22]

I Just Have Mine !!

Ok de 2Gb problem, is only in BT mode?
- Harddriver never stops spinning

- WebCam Doesn't Work "Creative, modelo WebCam Live! Pro"

- Don't know who establish a connectio with WL-700g in AP mode... Is the same way as the gateway? Or it is impossible to connect to the web config page in AP mode?

And for finish, where is the WDS (Wireless Distribution System) ?!?I've looked every were, and don't find'it

Thanks

The HD can't spin down since all the firmware is on the IDE HD, the drive never goes to idle. also the log files are on the HD. so that stays also open and the HD will spin up after a while.

If everything can loaded into the RAM then maybe the HD can spin down. But that is a big change in the firmware..

Doesn't that mean that when the HDD fails, you can throw the router in the trash

No. you can re-install the firmware from CD/file (did not try) . but the router will shutdown when the HD fails..

[PXP52]

Ok guys ,

about the spindown of the HD of the wl-700g.
Look on page 2 of the quick starter guide.
Chapter 1.4 Front panel:

OFF Hard disk unmounted or no power

*Push this button and wait 10 seconds to shut down the disk.

I try this and one time i get it spinning down. But only to time :-(

Did you try this out ?

Well, I'm not that eagre to format the HDD because I think that will cripple the router seriously. Just go through the disk by Windows Explorer, and you'll see what I mean (example: the HTML of the photobook is on there, as well as some other stuff the router uses)

@PXP52: those speeds are all on the LAN at my home. I've got an W2K3 server running with WWW & FTP services. So 2,4MByte/s on an internal network (100Mbit) is just slow.

Anyone get any betther speed with this device.. 2,4MByte/s ist just damn slow for me.........

Some more info about this, or respond from Asus??

thnx
