There is a typo in /etc/config/wireless

The 4th row has to be list 'ht_capab' 'HT40-'

This is my config:
config 'wifi-device' 'radio0'
        option 'type' 'mac80211'
        option 'macaddr' '10:27:19:cb:37:18'
        list 'ht_capab' 'HT40-'
        list 'ht_capab' 'SHORT-GI-40'
        list 'ht_capab' 'DSSS_CCK-40'
        option 'disabled' '0'
        option 'country' 'bg'
        option 'hwmode' '11ng'
        option 'channel' '09'

config 'wifi-iface'
        option 'device' 'radio0'
        option 'network' 'lan'
        option 'mode' 'ap'
        option 'ssid' 'SomeSSID'
        option 'bssid' ''
        option 'encryption' 'psk-mixed/tkip+aes'
        option 'server' ''
        option 'port' ''
        option 'hidden' '0'
        option 'isolate' '0'
        option 'txpower' ''
        option 'bgscan' '0'
        option 'frag' ''
        option 'rts' ''
        option 'wds' '0'
        option 'key' 'YourPassword'
        option 'macpolicy' 'none'

My laptop has atheros AR928x wireless card and the connection is 300Mbit/s, but when I test it I get only 40-50 Mbit/s
With the original firmware I get 113Mbit/s (MAX, constant 105+Mbit/s using windows xp)
Using linux is big nightmare, I get buffer overflow. The problem is the driver for the AR928x, I found a temporary solution but nothing permanent.

Hi,
I have made the above changes but still get 130mbps.

Below is my wireless file. Can anyone tell me what is wrong please.

Thanks.

config 'wifi-device' 'radio0'
        option 'type' 'mac80211'
        option 'macaddr' '00:27:19:d4:2f:10'
        list 'ht_capab' '-HT40'  <-------this lines used to be option 'htmode' 'HT20'
        list 'ht_capab' 'SHORT-GI-40'
        list 'ht_capab' 'DSSS_CCK-40'
        option 'country' 'MT'
        option 'hwmode' '11ng' <-------------this was option 'hwmode_11n' 'g'
        option 'maxassoc' ''
        option 'diversity' ''
        option 'txantenna' ''
        option 'rxantenna' ''
        option 'disabled' '0'
        option 'antenna' ''
        option 'channel' '06'
        option 'distance' '10'

config 'wifi-iface'
        option 'device' 'radio0'
        option 'network' 'lan'
        option 'mode' 'ap'
etc...

and can be latest firmware with GUI?

Why use openwrt if you are so dependent on gui and cant install it form ssh or telnet? For example I would like that latest firmware would be bare minimum, with no mc, transmission, samba, vsftpd, extra kernel modules and with no filesystem tools, so I could install them myself if needed and save some flash space to other packages I need.

Guys i need your help.
My router is flashing 1234 and WAN leds when i switch it on. This happened after i tried installing stock rom again.
Anyway I can revive it please?

Thanks in advance

what is your speed of copying to / from USB HDD to the firmware OpenWRT

I just received my unit and I flashed it right off with openwrt. groov.pl version was suiting me best because it has less bloat.

I can finally confirm that 9K jumbo frames is working fine on lan ports.

I had just one problem with wireless because for some reason my ipcam was not willing to work with wpa2 any more ("IEEE 802.11: deauthenticated due to local deauth request" error on router side), but since mixed mode is well supported, I was able to switch WAP1 AES mode on my ipcam and on openwrt I configures mixed-psk+aes mode.

Usb hub is also working great with additional power (usb audio, memory stick and lirc remote).
Playing mp3 off from shoutcast with madplay takes almost no cpu at all More memory could come handy tough.
File copy from stick was about 8000kb/s.

You can not be more specific ... I put opkg on OpenWrt temp file I authorize 755 and then I write in Putty to run opkg what

Thanks

connect via serial and rescure

sorry, don't understand what you mean

thanks for replying,
I am actually trying to find details on how to do the serial connection. I saw the ones with the nokia usb cabke but I do not have at hand at the moment. I do have a serial port on my laptop if i use it which cable would i need to make as I could only find USB and Parallel jtag cables.
Is the maxim IC still required in my case??

Thanks

@brifar

It's much easier to use a USB based cellular phone data cable and re-terminate the end.
Just make sure the cable you buy has an internal IC such as the PL-2303, etc. as some of the uber cheap cables are passive devices.

I use a USB cable with an ark3116 chipset and the following phono jack mod:

Hi,
the mods look good but i need to order the cables as i do not have at hand. I was looking for a quick fix that I can do over the weekend.
Since the unit is still under warranty I will have to wait for monday to get it replaced.

Thanks again all for the replies.

Hi guys,
i found a max233a and made the cable as per
http://www.compsys1.com/workbench/On_to … apter.html

i recovered using the wiki (thanks authors).
is there a way i can reapply the openwrt firmware from scratch. i.e formatting all partitions and all, as when i try to install webif it tells me i have 0k free.

thanks

IPTV  works ?

igmp-proxy

DD-WRT for 1043 available download now, anyone test it?

NO

You mean this?

I have nothing against the aforementioned firmware distribution above, but seriously guys, that's enough whoring of their name in an OpenWrt thread!
Please keep on topic.

Than have a look at the DD-WRT forums :-)
VLANs, WiFi range and stability, samba performace - any progress is welcome.

just flash mine to DD-WRT, but I cannot do further testing due to DD-WRT is incompatible with my ISP, basically, this is due to the DHCP packet size which DD-WRT change the default long time ago. My ISP need a full size DHCP discovery packet

Anybody who knows the state if the WAN/Port1-4 LEDs are blinking all 3 seconds? Any chance to recover?

I think you're going to need a serial cable.

I have a PL2303 usb2serial cable - hope this can be useful
