uhm well the files are at the asus site so I assume they are official
i don't have an upload account to their servers or something

it seems they are very busy at the moment, the contact at asus did read my request for the changelog but that was at 22.30 THEIR time!! so they are working very very late..

Hi,

Firmware 1.8.1.9 considerably accelerate LPR Printing - nice job.
The only thnig you'll have to do is to upload the firmware.
It seems that there's no need to make a hardware reset when you came from 1.8.1.7.

Thank you.

Does the firmware may implement smb the next time ?

Thanks 4 all !

Great. I really hate to reconfigure my router after each upgrade.

v1.8.1.9 seems stable, i upgraded this evening.

bug report:
when you need use the DHCP manual IP to MAC setting, you can't change anything at 'nat setting' except port trigger setting, otherwise, your IP TO MAC will fail.

i change virtual server to off and not forward battle.net, the DHCP IP TO MAC bound will fail to start.

maybe that also in other version firmware.

Downloaded as soon as it was put on this site... and the version 1.8.1.9 is running stable on my WL-500G ever since.

I don`t use all features at the moment... but in in access point mode it works for me.

I`m using mixed WPA-TKIP/AES encryption on my WinXP SP2 machines. I did a browser upgrade from 1.8.1.7 and didn`t need to factory reset it again... all settings were still there.

First impression:
What I really like is that asus made the USB features available in the menu also in "AP mode". Its also very nice that you can choose a different port for ActiveX "and" the Javascript webcam. Will test this soon.

looking good so far!

leave the username empty and the password "admin" without the ""

PLEASE READ CAREFULLY!!!!

when using an empty username and 'admin' as password
you did NOT correctly press the restore defaults button

at this time you are already fucking up the unit, and instability can be caused by doing this

the ONLY correct possibility to login to a proper default configuration is when you have to login with 'admin' as username and 'admin' as password

Hi all,
does anybode tried station mode,
i don't know where to set IP address of the WLAN interface.

WL500g associated to my AP, (a can see it's AMC on my AP) but no ping, no data.
I tried bridge mode, but the same result.
Probably the wan IP address in web conf isn't the ip addres of WLAN interface in station (bridge) mode.

Could you send me minyHowTo.
Thanks

Hi There,

This is my first post on chupa.nl, so i hope my question isn't outdated.
But is there an easy way to hack into this firmware release and enable ssh or the telnet deamon. How can ik do this, is there a tutorial ?

I have some linux knowledige based on RedHat6.1--->Fedora, Knoppix and SUSE9.0 so i must be able to understand the code execution. For hacking into this firmware.

Is the beta 9* version based on this firmware worth installing or is it unstable ?

This because this firmware version is very stable but is missing a lot of the extra very usefull options from the latest CR version.

My WebCams Logitech Pro 4000 and Philips ToUcam FUN II, PCVC 830K don't work after few hours !!

PLEASE HELP ME

In fact at the beginning, I can check my home through the Web page during few hours (about 6 hours) but at each time after about 6 hours, the server stop to work !
I cannot connect to the server and the display is completely black !
When I press the link to display in an alternate way, I see the display in black and white which is the display at the moment (the clock is stop) from which that does not work any more.

So, it's impossible to use the service.
Do you use the webcam during few days, because for me it doesn't work more than 6 hours !

THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR ANSWER.

Configuration :
Enable Web Camera? WAN & LAN

Image Size : 320x240
