Changelog:
nothing known yet.

Sent by Asus TSD via email. Tried and working, everything seems a bit faster. NTP server default is now correct for me, Webcam startup seems much faster, plus many other misc changes.

did not have time to try it yet myself..

if you want to login to router use no username-password=admin

your password is been deleted!

This firmware is completely reworked. Probably ASUS has new programmers.
It's now mostly like a Linksys wrt54g one (broadcom style).

Hello,

After upgrade to this firmware, do a reset for connected to internet.
I can't do a telnet router.
I see the router mount my usb disk, but how can i do for see it in windows ?

Thanks.

The printerserver is not working like in firmware 1.7.5.9-2 when using the asus software,the printer epson 880 will hang.

It's not possible to chance the username of the asus./ftp login superuser is not possible.

Better is the log screen you now be able to see the login of your ftp serverr.

The URL filter is not working !

So this firmware needs some more programming

Best regards from Dijksan sorry for my bad translating to english

Guys, this is not a custom firmware, so it has nothing like samba, telnet and custom firmware printing. As for printing - use ASUS instructions for setting it up.

Nice! It has already the TKIP and AES encryption from 802.11i protocol

[Antiloop]

yes indeed.. but the custom firmware had tkip+aes too already

another thing, it uses a new wireless driver
my A716 is now capable of connecting at 11mbit instead of 2mbit before

hmm my A716 does this only when the router has restarted, and i don't reassociate anymore.

does this mean, that this firmware can't be custumized easily like previous versions or the firmware customizing must begin at a new point?

as far as i have seen, it's become more nicely inside the firmware

e.g. nvram seems to be cleaned up, but indeed will need some modifications for customizing but will make it much easier


but beware, that it's maybe not possible to downgrade normally anymore!!

Could you elaborate on that a little further?

yes, it will take more time
