Hi EddieZ, hi everyone,
I've just updated my router with this new firmware and it took more then 12 minutes
In fact, I've waited much more ( ~30 min. ) and the router did not finished the update process. After a while it stopped to respond even to ping commands.
Then I had to Power Off/On my router, Of course when restarted the PWR started to flashing-slow.
Finally I've managed to update to 1.9.7.0 with firmware restoration tool.
So hopefully the next update will take just 3 min. and run with no problems.
In fact the most important chage since my original firmware (1.9.6.7) is that looks like the whole 32 Megs of memory is enabled now, which was not the case in the previous version.
The main reason of my upgrade was to solve some problems with user access rights for samba, the Asus change log claims that they solved it since 1.9.6.8, but I still have some problems with that. I'll post that on a more appropriate thread since here would be off-topic.

Another new thing I found in this firmware is option to set "radio power" in Wireles/advanced menu.
Funny thing is, that default value is set to 19 (I guess this was the value before this option was opened). But when you try to save the page, Java Script validation alerts you that possible values are only between 10 and 17 !!! This means that default value is already outside range!
Hmm?
Does anyone know what this value represents (mW, or some internal variable value)?

It is back, it disappeared some time ago.
19 means that your Asus operates at
"TxPower is 127 qdbm, 31.75 dbm, 1496 mW Override is Off"
This is the default setting for GB, for GE (German setting) it is a lot lower.
Seems to me that this is the max. Any others with higher values?
