hi. PPTP is supported by this firmware?

Do you mean passthrough PPTP (client on LAN, server on WAN)?

I'm using it without problems, but it works with original firmware too.

I suspect you mean some other PPTP config.

Is there snmpd? :) as I understand it's from busybox, but nothing about it here :( ? Maybe then it could be added as binary and start from /var/harddisk/asus/sbin or elsehow?

reason > collect statistics on another server with cacti....

SNMP should be working with Asus original firmware too. Just enable it via telnet interface and reboot router.

You should configure and enable SNMP (menu management/snmp) and enable access via LAN (menu management/access control).

thanx :) I'll try it (was confised 'couse can't find anything about snmp (snmpd) when in sh (and bash) on router.
should it present in $ ps after it?
and another stupid question :) is there any analog of $ netstat -na ? :)

Yes, "snmp" process is visible via "ps".

Yes, netstat -na is present too in this build.

Thanks again. I'll try it :)

Hi!

please, please make Annex-B also. Your firmware finally adds some things I always wanted to have (mainly MediaTomb).

Hi!
"Large file support": which modules support this feature? stupid-ftpd, busybox, samba?

Does your firmware have NARS reconnect patch?

@yurka: fixed link, sorry & thanks.

@he6y3u: I'll try with latest ADSL phy ASAP. Thanks a lot for links, I didn't know about them. Hope them work.

@rex: MediaTomb should work also on other firmwares (is statically linked). I'll try building Annex-B, after some more patches requested by users. Please be patient. :)

@Sergey: Large file support is for Kernel, Busybox, mediatomb, mt-daapd and Samba for shure. Never tested with stupid-ftpd, could works. You should have an EXT2 or ETX3 partition however... About NARS patch: I'll check for it and I'll include it.

As far as I know stupid-ftpd doesn't support large files by default. There are some limitations in source code. You can find detailed information here:

http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=23464

http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=23464&atid=378644

Thank you!

@Sergey: Thanks for info. I will try to apply patches.

Hello. I'm new in wl600g. Could You make some kind of tutorial, how to get started ? How to format and create requested partitions ? In mu humable opiniot it would be useful for many users of that device. Thank You very much for Your work.

Yours,
Peter

pleae check for ALWAYS ENABLED TELNET!?

snmp page also con be visible in Management menu?

snmpcfg.html ---- ??????

also can you check for Daylight saving work on nntp client?

it was coll if insted of using ctorrent o use insted transmission 1.40 because this one is faster and stable than ctorent

@Andrey Popov: what do you mean with "Always enabled telnet"?

In next release snpcfg.html will be enabled.

Don't know how enable daylight saving. Any hints?

@Zambu: I'm working on cross-compiling transmission too.

always enabled telnet - NOT need save cfg, edit and load again to access router by telnet. this method not right, because if change any settings on Management->Access than telnet settings in cfg reset.

exist /var/services.conf file where this setting store. are you make that always in services.conf telnet set to "1".

about nntp - may be need patch or new version of nntp client.
why daylight saving no supported in current nntp - don't know.
in other routers like wl-500 series daylight saving work.

hi,
the firmware is runnig well on my 600g!
how can i access the mediatomb server?, and is it possible to add openvpn which i found at this site http://domodossola.altervista.org/wl-600g/

@Gottfried: for mediatomb menu please download this zipfile and overwrite files on harddisk: http://www.drakeworld.net/blogs/media/blogs/DrakeBlog/wl600g/mediatomb-service.zip

@ TheDrake:
files work fine! mediatomb is running! good work man!
I´v got one more question. How can i run my own webpage with thttpd? When i copy an index.html in the /www folder, i get the following answer: 403 Forbidden
The requested URL '/' resolves to a file which is marked executable but is not a CGI file; retrieving it is forbidden.
can anybody help?

@Gottfried: For static .html pages, just try to remove xecute permission from file.

Use command: chmod ugo-x [filename]

problem with Authentication!!!!

http://:8081/
admin/admin
Authentication failed!
The URL 0 is invalid or violates the same-origin security restriction

@Andrey Popov: rebuilded dctcs, last version (firefox needed)

@TheDrake: static webpage is working! thanks for your info,I must agree my knowlege on linux commands is very poor!

Your doing a good job on the wl600g. keep on!
greetings from austria

Hey TheDrake.

Can you add gspca driver for webcam?
I have Creative WebCam Live! Motion Camera and not work now.

Thanks.

@Ficu: I see no evidence of anyone able to see webcam working on this router. I'm suspending support for webcam by now. Please find someone that was able to make it work and I'll include webcam support for sure.

Hello.

What username and passord for Yodctcs?
It´s firmware work for cardsharing? (gbox)

@Paulo: admin, admin
Don't know what's gbox.

Hello TheDrake.

The files : http://seguridadwireless.googlepages.com/sbin.zip

@Paulo: Only bins are available, so no specific cross-compile is possibile. You could try with latest version of firmware build but I don't know if it will work.

not yet recieved mc by e-mail!

Hey Drake,
This looks great. I will try it when I get home on my wl600g. I've wanted to make this router download torrents and media for quite a while.
Also I want to be able to stream downloaded media from the hdd if possible. I noticed that the broadcom usb is operating at 1.1 speeds normally so streaming is impossible at 150kps. Is your firmware any faster with the usb?
Nice work mate.

@Joe Wawick:

wl-600g does not use broadcom 1.1 usb chip, but VIA usb 2.0.

I can get 1.5Mbps via FTP in lan. Please get latest version from forum link until I'll post next in blog.

Hi, compile please NFS server for WL600.
Expected speed of record will make nearby 1,5Mb/s
Speed Samb server now not above 100 Kb/s
Thanks

Hi, I want add's some utils to the soft/firmware.
Can You share source with yours modifications?

any updates, new versions?

new firmware 3.0.0.8A out!!!!!

Very thanx for AnnexB version :-)

Hello ! I use an ANNEX B wl 600 g, i put a firmware .. but can not use SSH ! I enable ssh via tlnet - but nothing! What i must to check ?

i was search everywhere but i cannot find..

the question is "What is the NARS???"

thank you..

Hi! I have upgrade my router wl500g to wl600g(annex b). In wl500g was perfect bandwidth management for my network:

http://www.pcwintech.com/showimage?file=files/screenshots/asus-wl500g/040.png

Is there any firmware for wl600g which contain the bandwidth management like in wl500g???

thanks

I like this idia!
Thanks for post

hi,thank you for the excellent firmware, is it possible to add openvpn server?

love the new firmware, resolved all my issues and added mediatomb.... but i cant seem to lauch it, both mediatomb and mt-daapd would just crash the modem forcing it to restart.
any suggestions where is should start looking? no messages in any logfiles i could find.
Cheers
Willie

@ybcswz: for openvpn see following link
http://rescuecd.pld-linux.org/AsusWL-600g/

I'm quite busy now, but I hope soon to work at firmware again.

Hi!
How restart thtpd without reboot?
After stop httpd get not working usb services.
Thanks.

Hello, TheDrake! Thanks you very much for the firmware. Could you please include in next version UDP-to-HTTP Proxy, like updxy - http://sourceforge.net/projects/udpxy/ for IPTV or any other utility with similar functionality. I've tied to compile and use it myself on WL-600g, no luck, perhaps I'm doing something wrong.

Sorry bro for my bad question but, when i upload last firmware ANNEXB i cannot use SSH , what i need to do for allowe it ?
And is there any manual for proper install your firmwires ?

Lot thanks from SlovaKia

Hi!

Build 090602 have "Samba setup" in web interface, but not contain Samba in package?

This link not worked: ftp://78.25.8.242/wl600/wl600_hd_0522.tar.gz
:(

Please, help me, where i can download Samba (or better, Popov's hard disk package) for 090602_2330?

Andrei P
you can use this pack :
ftp://78.25.8.242/wl600/wl600_hd_0526.tar.gz
In this pack is samba working well

Thanks! I download this pack.

In this firmware, some scripts execute by pressing ez-setup button? (for example, on wl-500 execute /usr/local/sbin/ez-setup)

I want switch Wi-Fi on/off by pressing ez button, but dont know, what event execute by ez button press in this firmware?

Wi-Fi switching worked on my wl-600g by command:
ip l show dev wl0 | grep -q UP && ip l set dev wl0 down || ip l set dev wl0 up

PS: Sorry for my english. :)

Works well with my ASUS WL-600g. Thanks for the upload!

could you please tell me where to get your sourcecode from?

i want to study it

thank you

PS: Sorry for my english. :)

Sorry but ftp://78.25.8.242/wl600/wl600_hd_0603.tar.gz is not working seems to me server is down, is there any other way of getting it?

After flashing my box I can't connect via telnet. Everything seems to work fine, but I cannot enable telnet. Can anybody help me?

gz is not working seems to me server is down, is there any other way of getting it?

Hi,
Is there a chance to share all the patches you have made to the original sources? The most important for me is the NARS fix (authentication error every 30 minutes from my ISP!), but others are cool as well. It would be good to have them available somewhere on the net for others.

Please share via some upload site or email.

Thanks for your great work!

Hi, is there any way to change /etc/hosts file or dhcp settings via shell and save these settings permanently?

With the Drake's firmware, my wl-600g router does not connect to Internet. Both ADSL and IP leds are green, but in web-interface there is "PPP down" and no Internet connection is avaliable. Soft and hard resets do not change anything. This happens both on
bcm96348GW_fs_kernel_3.02L.01.-090602_1528.zip ( AnnexA )
bcm96348GW_fs_kernel_3.02L.01.-090602_2330.zip ( AnnexA with NARS )
With official 1.0.3.6 formware the router connects perfectly.

How can I try to fix it?

Hi, good firmware mod!

Only one missing function that I need: JFFS or nvflash support. I like to store custom scripts (for adsl tweak and cifs modules get)

Anyone maintains this mod?

could you please tell me where to get your sourcecode from?

@draug: Sorry, probably you have an incompatible adsl or chipset. Please use an older modded release (see post for it).
@friend: Sorry, no JFFS or nvflash support. This version of modded original firmware uses the original firmare as base and it have a locked and old method for accessing config. Not compatible with any nvram I've found till now.

For sourcecode please mail to me.

Thanks a lot, very good firmware mod.
Wanted to ask as I saw you at OpenWrt forum if it is possible also to use OpenWrt firmware with ASUS WL-600g and find or build an ADSL driver in it?
Sorry if the question is stupid cause I'm not familiar with OpenWrt firmware at all.
Wanted to try, but with ADSL it is useless for me.

Hi,
I downloaded the firmware for annex B with NARS (whatever it is) and standard fetures works. But new features on the web page did not work at all :( SAMBA and SERVICES show connections error (no page is displayed).

Any suggestions?

OK Drake thanks for answer. could you please tell where I can find the image with the guide how to make it work?

@marw: For more support from openwrt community see http://forum.openwrt.org/viewtopic.php?id=7355

Hello again, I am trying to find some step by step manual how to prepare and connect HDD or flash to WL-600g with Drakes firmware. I have only find some bits and peaces but not the beginning.
My questions:
1) Which HDD is current.
2) How to get root password to my WL-600g (find somewhere that I need it) in telnet I can only log as admin and I see only stupid menu and list of a few unimportant linux commands.
3) How to create the flash disk with HDD software? formating as ext3 and copying the files do not work.
4) I know that these are probably questions that are there somewhere so concreate links are good for me.

I promisse that when I make it work I will do step by step manual with screenshots for newbies like me and I will put it there so nobody will have to bother again.

Thank you in advance for your help.

nly one missing function that I need: JFFS or nvflash support. I like to store custom scripts (for adsl tweak and cifs modules get)
Anyone maintains this mod?

Good day.
I've updated my WL-600g with this firmware (AnnexA with NARS) and installed software from ftp://78.25.8.242/wl600/wl600_hd_0603.tar.gz
Generally everything works Ok, but I have some troubles.
The mos disturbing is that I can't work with files larger than 2 GB using samba. I connect to the network drive and can't even see them. When i connect to the drive using FTP everything's ok, the files are present. There are no problems with other files. When the drive was connected to the PC USB i was able to move/copy those files. The filesystem on the drive is Ext3.
Also I wasn't able to find any way to specify folder for each torrent in transmission or yodctcs clients.
Could anyone help me with solving these problems or advice anything.
Thanks in advance.

@Andrew: Sorry, no way to get JFFS and nvflash support. Asus firmware does not support it. This mod is unmaintained by me... :D

@Igor: Please try using older hd disk images. I know that they work. FYI: every program port need to be compiled with the right options enabled for large file support.

Ive downloaded wl600g firmware for Anexe B, only part of the features are working, is it outdated?

is it possible a 3g usb broadband modem could work on asus wl-600g.

sir, just a request can you make a firmware which a 3g usb modem would work on a asus wl-600g.

Could You make some kind of tutorial, how to get started ? How to format and create requested partitions ? In mu humable opiniot it would be useful for many users of that device.

I've found manuals in English https://forum.openwrt.org/viewtopic.php?pid=98328#p98328 and in Russian http://underaze.livejournal.com/2868.html#cutid1 (if anyone needs it)
It is rather detailed, and I suppose it's qite enough for the beginning. Using this manual you can get everything working, but without any advanced customization.

@TheDrake: static webpage is working! thanks for your info,I must agree my knowlege on linux commands is very poor! Your doing a good job on the wl600g. keep on!

helo All.
how i can terminate acces to vkontakte.ru on wl600g?
and how i can have fuul firewall on this device?

I absolutely enjoyed reading and hope you keep updating it frequently! I absolutely liked the abstraction you accept aloft here. It is actual accessible and advantageous one.

Thanks for creating this interesting blog and its the great resource for lots of internet users. so you can create more blog with useful information.

My neighbor and I have been just debating this specific subject, he is normally seeking to show me incorrect. Your view on this is great and exactly how I really feel. I just now mailed him this website to point out him your personal view. After wanting over your website I book marked and will be coming back to learn your new posts! =-=

Is it possible to add to WL-600g normal Print Server like in WL-520gU, DSL-N12U, RT-N16, RT-N56U?

Hi,
i would like to edit this firmware to take libraries, bin, etc but the tool: firmware_mod_kit can´t unpack correctly. The binaries are 0 bytes :(

any help?

Thanks

I think this is an informative post and it is very useful and knowledgeable, great tool. Therefore, I would like to thank you for the efforts you have made in writing this article

Beautiful essay, got the pleasure of reading

Really very useful information I have been wondering about this topic Thanks
