WL-500gP with 3G USB Modem and Oleg's Firmware

[webwolf]

Hi anttu from Finland,
first of all many tks to the reply to this newbie in Linux :-)
i did all you said. In the System log, i have this:
Jan 1 00:02:01 pppd[214]: Serial connection established.
Jan 1 00:02:01 pppd[214]: Using interface ppp0
Jan 1 00:02:01 pppd[214]: Connect: ppp0 <--> /dev/usb/tts/0
Jan 1 00:02:34 pppd[214]: IPCP: timeout sending Config-Requests
Jan 1 00:02:40 pppd[214]: Connection terminated.
Jan 1 00:02:41 pppd[214]: Exit.
and in Telnet:
asus login: admin
Password:
[admin@asus root]$ echo wl antdiv 3 » /usr/local/sbin/post-bootand
wl antdiv 3 » /usr/local/sbin/post-bootand
[admin@asus root]$ cat/usr/local/sbin/post-boot
-sh: cat/usr/local/sbin/post-boot: not found
[admin@asus root]$ "cat /usr/local/sbin/post-boot"
-sh: cat /usr/local/sbin/post-boot: not found
[admin@asus root]$
What a mess, i'm really confused, is it possible any more helps???
With Oleg firmware, it recognises the modem and also have the blue light flashing but she should kept fix, not flashing to have good signal.
Many tks to all,rgds,

Don't worry!
Do it step by step.
Open a console on your router (telnet, att. space before and after >>)

echo "wl antdiv 3" >> /tmp/local/sbin/post-boot

then (attention there is a space after cat!!!)

cat /tmp.local/sbin/post-boot

If you see the following (something like this, you are fine):

#!bin/sh
wl antdiv 3

Now store your post-boot with:

flashfs save && flashfs commit && flashfs enable && reboot

wait until reboot is finished - when your Modem is flashing green or blue, everything should be ok.

Open again a console - if your modem does not connect, do a

killall pppd

and wait a minute.
If your modem does not connect (and blue light is solid on), then connect it with your notebook (mobile connect) and search for the best place. Sometimes the signal is very low (dependent to distance aso), hence your modem can't connect.

Tomorrow, I'll post a script which connects without reboot and with the use of different web-addresses for connection-checking.
