WL500g Premium beta firmware removed

[Oleg]

Removed from my site, due to number of dead router reports. I would check on this.

Please flash original ASUS firmware to avoid problems.

Any suggestions why they died?

[Oleg]

Not yet.
Recovery is possible by wiping current settings: just ground flash pin #9 and turn the device on.

Thank you very much, Oleg! Pin 9 did the trick, I tried pin 10 and 12 before with no luck. How did you know it was pin 9??? I could not figure that out from the flash's manual

In the german forum, we have several reports about dead routers, too. It seems like all had the samba demo stuff activated, maybe that helps in finding the cause of this problem...

regards,

Samba could not cause any problems.
Do you've dyndns service active? Which connection type do you use?

[sMiLe]

Hi,

i had dyndns active, but only with the original firmware. Then I changed to your firmware, reset the whole config but didn't configure dyndns again.
What do you mean, which connection type? For WAN? PPPoE...

Are you sure about samba? maybe large file transfers could do any harm when using too much memory? Anyhow, I have no clue about this busybox stuff...
