1.9.6.8

[VenoM]

I updated to 1.9.6.8 and it sucks. The power option is gone and I have a very bad signal. Any solutions ?

Hi,

try set the power on the Page http://192.168.1.1/Main_AdmStatus_Content.asp

wl txpwr 40

and check it with:

wl txpwr1

[VenoM]

Intresting, after giving the command wl txpwr1 :
TxPower is 127 qdbm, 31.75 dbm, 1496 mW Override is Off

After the command wl txpwr 40
TxPower is 64 qdbm, 16.00 dbm, 40 mW Override is Off

After a restart
TxPower is 127 qdbm, 31.75 dbm, 1496 mW Override is Off

hi,

you can try this to set the power permanent
I take no responsibility on this:

----------------------------------
nvram set wl_radio_power_x=19
nvram commit
----------------------------------

for me it works fine the commit can take a while

Asus just published the source code for this firmware:
ftp://dlsvr03.asus.com/pub/ASUS/wire...500gp_1968.zip

they also said that they'll do the same for the other firmware (then were's 19.6.9? )

YEAH!!

Really cool.

Perhaps OLEG will improve this firmware.

Telnet support would be very cool.
And the possibility to install a package system.

what packet system would you install? this is a mips cpu. are there any repositorys one would want to use? i think i'll be going for gentoo on my router. it will propably take a week to build, but that seems like a fairly good idea.
