Thread: Firmware v1.6.4.8

  1. #16
    Pretty annoying that, when I'm using telnet and such the router reboots and I have to put it all in again...

    I have about 4 days of uptime. This is bad, can somebody tell asus because I haven't seen much from them in a while.

    I mean, stability for more than 4 days should not be an issue at all. By the way shouldn't we require a bit better support for webcams? I have a pretty new logitech, why can't they add support for more cams in their new firmwares.

    At last, why can't they make the tx power available from the web interface? That would be great for everybody.

    'stability' goes down when using more programs, it has a WatchDog that will restart the router when some problems are occuring (eg. out of memory for example). that's probably why it reboots itself.

    and about the TX power, they are NOT allowed to make this public available because of the FCC rules.

    the support of more webcams should be possible, anyway when Asus releases the source code, we'll be able to add/remove them ourself.

    Does fcc rules apply outside america?
    How high is the transmit power before and after? What are the limitations?

    Aren't we able to disable the watchdog by the way?

    as fas as I know the fcc rules do not apply outside america, but here in the netherlands we are limited to the 100mW stuff (measured in more things only than transmitting power)

    what do you mean about transmit power before and after ?

    the watchdog cannot be disabled in it's current state, because when the watchdog is closed down, the router is instructed to restart.
    try to kill the watchdog and see for yourself

    I mean you measure more than just the mW, does anyone know about total output power before the mod (19mW) and after, (84mW)

    I updated my fimware from 1.6.4.8 to the newest 1.6.4.8 and noticed difrents:

    - ftp en printerserver werkten wel tegelijk wat eerst niet het geval was ( zie tech questions ftp en printer-server tegelijk)

    translated from dutch into english:

    ftp and printserver are working at the same time now, they did not before. (see TQ forum ftp en printer-server tegelijk)

    It's so frustrating, I have a server and my router restarted, lost its settings and therefore, the server was down. I have a static ip so the router lost it. downtime is not fun.

    What should I do? I can't have it this way.

    Return it?

    I am not happy with ASUS tech support... So far, they've ignored me.

    Yeah, I'm thinking of it, but I want to get it fixed rather then returning it. It is a fee for sending it back so I see it as a last alternative.

    Shouldn't I expect the router to be stable and not reset its settings? Guess it isn't any idea to contact asus, but I will anyway.
