WAN port dies - fixing speed

[Oleg]

Do mean something like

wlanutil eth1 ethsetx speed 4

(100full, in this case)?

I mean changing it from web interface or with et utility by exusting something like this from the shell prompt, or Main_AdmStatus_Content.asp:

et -i eth1 speed 100full

Please re-test, it should have impact on performance.

I mean changing it from web interface

Well, this setting isn't available to me as my wl500g's "Operation Mode" is set to "Router" (my wan port is connected to another segment of my home network, not to an adsl modem or anything like that...)
Therefore I took a look at /init/ethernet

if [ -n "$x_ConnectionSpeed" ] && [ "$x_ConnectionSpeed" != "0" ]; then
        wlanutil ethsetx $1 speed "$x_ConnectionSpeed"
fi

and thought setting the Connection-Speed is done with wlanutil.

I'll post my results when setting the speed with the et utility after some tests.

Setting the speed to 10half, 10full, 100half or 100full with the et utility,
there were no crashes even after transferring a few GBytes of data.
Using the auto setting eth1 dies (and can be recovered with et -i eth1
promisc 0) after some hundred MBytes.

Test setup:
[pc2]-eth0 <~~~> eth1-[wl500g]-eth0 <~~~> eth0-[pc1]
pc2 uses a Realtek 8139C for the connection to the wl500g,
test traffic was created with netio-1.17

Well, Antiloop reported the same - any forced speed fixes problem for him. Added new poll option - any speed fix.

For me, WAN Port die issue only happen on downloading with BT. When the transfer rate reach 8xx KB, it MUST die within 5 mins. (My internet connection is 10mb/10mb VDSL) Actually I'm ASUS fan, but this product really makes me DISAPPOINTTED.

can you please confirm that you have tried all speeds and not only AUTO ?

e.g. when i'm testing i have 2,5Megabyte/sec download and then it does not die when using a fixed speed setting

try firmware 1.8.1.9, in that firmware the speed settings work from webinterface in earlier 1.7.x.x versions it does not work or not correctly

i tried to use 1.8.1.9. but the problem still occurr. So, i changed to use 1.7.5.9 cr-5 with the QOS. actually, it work if i limited in a slow speed. But i don't think that it's not a good way to fix the wan port die problem.

By the way, i'm very very appericate the working in web site. I'll try to
upgrade it back to 1.8.1.9 and try all port speed.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH
