Probleme Asus WL-500gP & HDD

De vreo saptamana mi-am cumparat un Asus WL-500gP V2. Posibilitatea de a pune un HDD extern era foarte interesanta asa ca am cumparat si un HDD WD Essential 320GB (formatat astfel: 1x 512MB Swap, 1x 1GB pentru pachetele IPKG si 1x EXT3 de vreo 280GB). Toate bune si frumoase pana am inceput sa transfer de prin laptop pe HDD-ul extern via WL-500gP. Dupa 500MB routerul se reseteaza, HDD-ul se opreste si pica reteaua. Am reusit si performanta de a urca 5,3GB insa cand am vrut sa rulez filmul, a functionat vreo 10 minute dupa care s-a restartat singur.
- am schimbat firmware-ul cu cel de la Oleg (varianta 10 care suporta V2);
- am instalat Transmission pentru torrent (face figuri si cu asta dupa ce transfera jumatate din torrent)
- am incercat si cu firmware-ul beta de la ASUS (nici cu asta nu s-a rezolvat).

In rest, ca router wireless, merge excelent in sensul ca nu se restarteaza si viteaza este foarte buna pe wireless. Din pacate suportul pentru USB si implicit pentru HDD_urile externe este foarte slab.

Exista vreo solutie ? @Serpent am vazut ca ai cunostinte despre manifestarile ciudate ale acestui router. De asemenea multi alti utilizatori din strainatate au anuntat ca au probleme similare cu transferul prin USB.

Lansarea Kernel 2.6 pentru chipsetul Broadcom o sa rezolve ceva ?

Many thx !

AI posibilitatea de a alimenta hdd-ul dintr-o sursa externa?

Eu am  Asus WL-500gP (nu V2) si folosesc ca HD extern, un HD IDE de 20Gb formatat ext3, intr-un rack extern IDE/usb. Pana acum nu am avut problemele semnalate de tine, nu am avut niciodata bolcaje sau resetari, singura problema ar fi viteza realtiv mica (~3MB/s) dar asta e normal.
Firmware-ul folosit e openwrt v0.9 whiterussian, cu kernel versiune 2.4.
Mai am pe USB un flash de 1G, pe care am programe, dar nu am avut probleme nici cu ala.

Si eu am probleme cu el , chiar am reusit sa stric routerul, deoarere sa intrerupt conexiunea tocmai cand faceam update de firmware si ledul care arata ca este aprins palpaie , asta e , http://forum.softped...howtopic=384139, dar asta e................. oricum mai sunt si alte variante de dowloaduri , de exemplu: http://www.digitalwo...r...&idcat=1224 care nu necesita router cu porturi usb , are firmware,   producatorhttp://www.adstech.c.....RIVE KIT,/url] ca are doar conexiune prin rj45, dar suporta bit torent, asa ca la cat am dar pe router, cumparam unul din acesta...

10x pt. incredere :D , dar n-am avut inca ocazia sa ma joc pe un V2. Pe V1 chiar nu am avut vreodata probleme cu transferul pe USB. Si am transferat TB!
Daca discul tau este WDME3200, atunci Cielo ti-a sugerat deja o posibila cauza a problemei. Daca este WDH1U3200, nu stiu ce sa-ti zic...

Astea sunt de la tine?

Cred ca da ... nu stiu de unde le-ai luat ...  :coolspeak:
HDD-ul este WD MyBook Essential 320GB si are alimentare proprie. Este excelent, insa nu stiu ce se intampla. Am reusit ultima oara sa pun pe el un film in format HD de vreo 5,5GB. Prima reactie a fost sa zic cu stragere de inima "yess". Parca simteam ca este prima si ultima oara cand voi urca ceva mai mare de 1GB. Si cam asa a fost  ^_^

Daca il conectez direct in laptop, nu am nicio problema. Este chiar foarte fain :D

Nu exista foarte mari diferente intre V1 si V2. Din pacate, a incetat productia modelului V1.
Mai am un HDD extern, insa se comporta la fel. Este vorba de un HDD Fujitsu de 40GB.

Chiar nu inteleg ce poate sa fie.

Pentru varianta in lb engleza ( :lol: ) va rog sa ma admirati aici:

Atunci s-o luam metodic:
1. Cu ce ai partitionat si formatat discul?
2. Ai rulat un e2fsck dupa formatare?
3. Demonteaza discul si da-i asa: e2fsck -fv /dev/discs/disc0/partX (unde X e 2 si 3, daca ai swap-ul pe 1). Posteaza rezultatul.
4. Ce OS ai pe laptop?

Eu am pus pe WL 500gp (v1) firmware modificat pt CDMA (are la baza pe cea de la OLEG).
Am HDD extern WD de 250 Gb EXT3

Accesul se face din acest firmware doar pe protocol FTP. Merge foarte bine !

Azi imi vine si WL 500W (cu 3 antene) pt ca nu am destul semnal in casa, la etaj.
Sper sa faca fata...

Serpent, on Apr 30 2008, 10:31, said:

1. Telnet Asus > Fdisk (partitionare) > mke2fs -j /dev/discs/disc0/part2 (respectiv part3; pentru formatare
2. Niciodata nu am rulat e2fsck dupa formatare, insa aseara am reformatat si i-am dat e2fsck (conform recomandarilor). Nu a gasit probleme.
3. (nu are legatura cu punctul 2 ?) Urmeaza sa fac si asta dupa care o sa postez rezultatul.
4. Windows XP Pro SP2 pe un HP nx6110

Courage, on Apr 30 2008, 10:41, said:

offtopic: puteai sa cumperi o antena cu o putere mai mare (ex. D-Link 6db). Avantajul la WL-500W este ca o sa ai o viteza mai mare pe wireless.

Link plz...

Courage, on Apr 30 2008, 11:32, said:

Antena din cutia ASUS este de 3db (un lucru bun tinand cont ca majoritatea vin cu antene de 2db). Eu mi-am cumparat o antena D-Link de 6db de la VeraSYS (pe vremea cand puteai sa faci comenzi online mai mici de 1500lei). De curand am inlocuit antena respectiva cu una comandata de aici: http://www.digitalwo...r...&idcat=1092

Este chiar mai buna decat antena D-Link, chiar daca se specifica ca este de 5db.
Tot la un pret convenabil poti lua o antena Zyxel de la Intend: http://www.intend.ro...roducts_id=3797

O sa vezi cat de mult poate sa insemne 2-3 db in plus la o antena.

Courage, on Apr 30 2008, 10:41, said:

Daca tot ai apucat sa iti comanzi un WL-500W si pentru ca ai zis ca ai probleme cu semnalul in casa, eu iti recomand sa inlocuiesti antenele ASUS cu antena recomandata de mine anterior. Cu siguranta vei avea o surpriza placuta (deconectari mai putine, semnal stabil la etaje, in garaj, curte si gradina, viteza mai mare de transfer, s.a.m.d.)

livache2008, on Apr 29 2008, 16:21, said:

Si eu am resetat routerul cand isi facea update si ramanea cu palpaitul :) Am vrut sa il trimit inapoi la garantie dar l-am rezolvat cu softului de pe cd. Incearca si banuiesc ca tie o sa iti mearga. Daca e in stare routerul sa iti dea un IP catre calculator il poti rezolva cu softul ala. Daca nu iti da incearca pe ip-uri manuale desi nu cred ca o sa mearga asa. Iti dau meajul asta si pe privat in caz ca nu citesti topicul asta.

KALOO, on Apr 30 2008, 12:00, said:

Router-ul se afla acum in DiagMode. Pentru ca el sa aloce automat un IP calculatorului, utilizatorul trebuie sa tina apasat butonul "RESTORE" aprox. 1 minut in timp ce conecteaza aparatul la o sursa de curent. Merge si varianta cu IP-uri manuale, insa metoda descrisa intr-un alt topic este cea mai sigura.

wfnse, on Apr 30 2008, 12:25, said:

1. Ok
2. Asta e bine
3. Ba da. Dar -v il face mai "vorbaret"
4. Si ai ext2 IFS instalat? Sau nu l-ai incercat cu ext3 pe laptop?

Serpent, on Apr 30 2008, 14:56, said:

3. Tot nu a gasit nicio problema. 0 peste tot si 2 directoare.
4. Am instalat programul respectiv si functioneaza ok daca conectez HDD-ul direct la laptop.

NEWS:
1. Am incercat sa accesez hdd-ul prin FTP si sa dezactivez samba. Din pacate se intampla acelasi lucru. Dupa o perioada, in care transfer un volum mare de date pe HDD, router-ul se restarteaza singur. Iata log-ul generat dupa un "auto-restart":

Sa fie o problema hardware ? Din pacate, se pare ca exista si alti utilizatori care au intampinat astfel de probleme (inclusiv la V1). In acelasi timp, exista utilizatori care spun ca router-ul lor merge foarte bine. Si atunci unde e problema ?  :huh:

Sa fie o problema cu driverele USB 2.0 ? Este posibil sa trecem pe USB 1.1 ?
Sa fie o problema la Kernel ? Versiunea 2.6 inca nu suporta modulul wireless din chipsetul Broadcom.
Clar nu are legatura cu Samba pentru ca am testat routerul cu Samba dezactivat.

@Serpent ?  :D  Ce zici ?
Iata cateva link-uri cu aceasta problema:

Multumesc celor care vor sa ajute !

Mesajele de boot sunt in regula si personal cred ca discul in sine nu are nicio problema.
Singurul lucru pe care ti l-as mai putea sugera pt. a te convinge ca routerul e de vina ar fi sa schimbi cablul USB cu unul mai scurt si mai bine ecranat.
Daca nici asta nu ajuta la nimic atunci ai un router cu probleme la transferul pe USB!!!  :whistling:

Ai incercat cumva si alt FW in afara de Oleg's si Asus?

Serpent, on May 2 2008, 10:58, said:

1. Am schimbat cablul USB - aceeasi situatie;
2. Din pacate se pare ca nu sunt singurul cu probleme la transferul pe USB. Mai grav este ca problema aceasta exista atat la V1 cat si la V2. Acum conteaza doar ce noroc ai  ^_^
3. Am incercat o versiune mini-beta de la DD-WRT (nu avea suport pentru USB Storage  :lol: )

Cred ca ASUS trebuie sa puna o atentionare pe toate pachetele WL-500gP V1/2:
"Not for common users !"
