WAG200G - modified firmware avaliable ! Testers wanted !

Hello
I have done rebuild of WAG200G-EU Annex A software - my version has sshd, telnetd, writable flash partition, enhanced busybox build with many unix utilites included. I would like to release it to the public, but first I would like do do some testing with one or two persons willing to flash this version to their routers and confirming that everything is OK. If there are persons willing to test this modified firmware, please mail me wag200@gmail.com
thanks

Hi, I wrote you an email at the address above but you didn't answer.. I'd like to have some information about how did you modify the firmware (ex: did you compile a new image with the build.sh script and uploaded it with the web interface or did you update the firmware by uploading the kernel and the filesystem separately, maybe via adam2 ftp?), because I'd like to start playing with it too

Hello
My rebuild of the software (version 0.3.1) and all of the information is avaliable at the following webpage: http://woytekm.googlepages.com/linksyswag200g-eu

I have used build.sh with a modified sources of linksys GPL release to create system image, and supplied montavista gcc to compile additional binaries. Sorry for not answering Your email - unfortunately i have very little time for this project now and I haven't checked the wag200 mailbox lately. Feel free to mail me if you have some specific questions - I'll try to answer as quickly as I can.

Hello
Version 0.4 of my rebuild for WAG200 is avaliable at:
http://woytekm.googlepages.com/modifiedsoftwareforwag200g-eu
WM

I've have an WAG200G, wondering if I could make a request? A scheduled reconnect (or reboot) function similar to what I've read the DD-WRT firmware does.

For example somewhere in the web-based router configuration, there would be an option for scheduling different (at least two or more) reconnect (or reboot) times.

Let me know if it's possible.

when does the version 0.5 is coming out? I am interested in the advanced firewall features.
cheers

Very nice job

Some questions:

- could you please also publish the img files in a rar/zip because of the md5 (XP adds some info to store the 'Are you damn sure to open a downloaded file' warning which will destroy the md5)

- I'm livin in a student house with 10 people with a 20 mbit line, there is some support for Quality of Serice but just 3 custom ports to add, how can i add some more, much better would be abillity to add a complete ip to have priority

Already tnx for your support

Please keep on going with this firmware

hi!

Have anyone tried this firmware?

Is it better than the original from linksys?
thanks!

Yes it's ok :thumbups:
it's in start
but is a good effort !!!

i just want to know if its a stable release, with internet adsl, ddns, remote management working without any problem...
thanks

New Linksys FW out: v1.01.03

are there any other firmwares (tomato etc) for the wag200g?

v1.01.03 still sucks...same remote management problem....etc etc... best version for now, and the most stable is the 1.00.9...no questions about it...

what problems do you face with remote managment. I don't have any problems using it so far

try to access the router from a remote pc...use ddns and access in other computer over internet...

hi,

I reported to linksys about remote management problem, they told me to use https instead of http.

hi, I tested firmware.
there was one problem with rfc 1483 bridged,
you dont get a gateway adress asigned dynamically
(with all stock versions you do)

for the rest everything worked fine!

Hi:

I'm actually pretty keen to test out this firmware - I'm wondering will it fix my ADSL reconnect problem... (http://www.linksysinfo.org/forums/showthread.php?t=52789)..?

Also I'm from Wellington, New Zealand (also uses WAG200G-AnnexA ADSL over POTS), and am wondering if it's OK to load and try this firmware..i.e. will it break my WAG200G and render it unserviceable..? I understand there's smome slight diff in RAM and FLASH sizes between the EU and AU/NZ versions (I think AU version has only 4MB of RAM vs 16MB for EU)..

Anyone has any ideas..?

Thanks.

It will not. However, it will be easy to set up a workaround. I'm thinking of a script in endless loop which tests the Internet connection (for example by pinging some known host) and, upon failure, kills the pppd process (which after a while will get relaunched by atm_monitor, hopefully re-establishing the link).

Its stable but with RFC 1483 Bridged can obtain a default gateway automatically which i can with the origional one. For the rest its stable as it should be

Hello,


Your firmware solve the problem of the file transfer speed?

Wag200g

I have a problem with our router of this type. We are experiencing an ON and OFF status on the DSL led display which results to interrupted internet connection. The firmware version is 1.01.03 (Annex A). What seems to be the problem? Is it on the dsl line (phone line)?

add function ?

is it possible to add support for ddns no-ip.com service ?

Hi:

I tried downloading the latest update 0.6.1 as per this URL from woytekm's home page (http://woytekm.googlepages.com/WAG200G_V1.01.04.wm-build-0.6.1-A.img), but the link does not seem to work. Has anyone got the latest firmware..?

Woytekm - any chance of fixing the link? Thanks.

This is fixed with 0.6.2 and 0.6.2a releases.
BTW, the static dhcp features works well on my 3 clients.

Just saw this:

How does it work? Will it work as fixed time daily scheduled reboots?

how dows it work with p2p software? thanks

i've tried the latest experimental firmware by woytekm, but there're still disconnections, just the behaviour of them is different: the internet light is getting red and hang up - so no autoconnection;

below my router log:

@woytekm:

I'm running the Version 0.6.2 Annex-B of your fw for approx. 4 weeks on my WAG200G (ADSL Annex-B 16Mbit up/1Mbit down) without any problems whatsoever. Before that I used the original 01.01.14 fw and got disconnects or system crashs when I had many connections and/or high down-/up-stream.

Thank you very much for your effort! Good job!

If I am not contented I can return then like after 1.01.14?

Hi:

Can you or anyone elaborate a little bit on how to get static DHCP to work..? I've tried it but can't seem to get it to work. I tried enabling the mtd5 filesystem as intructed, but everytime I go to the static DHCP is says can find the /mnt/mtd5/udhcpd.statics file ...

Thanks.

hello

I have a problem, since I changed my internet connection from Annex A to Annex M, my connection disconnects very often.

i have a question, is it possible to make a firmware for wag200g to work for Annex M ?

If not, because of the Hardware???

Is there a solution or workaround for the rfc 1483 bridged issue?

From the readme :
1 - You must enable automounting of the filesystem from the "MySetup" webpage of the router. And then reboot.
2 - Open ssh or telnet to the router, log in, and issue a "make_mtd5" command. And reboot.
3- Now you can use the GUI to enter MAC address <=> IP.
The GUI will create the /mnt/mtd5/udhcpd.statics file automaticaly.

The WAG200G uses the Ti AR7 chipset, for which the version 6 or 7 DSP drivers do appear to support Annex M. I guess this firmware uses version 6.02, but other AR7 devices ie Linksys WAG54GV3 now contain version 7.02.03 and Acorp beta firmware now up to version 7.04 (which I can 'borrow' for experimentation with my ADSL2MUE).

Note the web interface may not know about Annex M, but in multimode the driver should select it if it is available. If your upstream is greater than 1Mb then you must be in Annex M.

The same family chipset is used in the AG241 see other posts here - a custom version of software was built 'down under' to allow selection of Annex M by web screen.

thanks for taking your time mstombs.

It seems this topic (and the project) has died. Has anybody heard from Woytek recently, or seen any updates?

A sad news ? :frown:

Hi
I've just released 0.7 with linksys 1.01.05 and some other minor updates. Project is still going on, i'm not planning to abandon it, but it will not proceed as fast as i would like it to be (i'm kinda busy with other projects right now).

That's good news.

Can you tell if the RFC 1483 bridged issue of not getting a default gateway is fixed? My connection requires it, so until it is fixed I can't use this ( and I really want Static DHCP assignments)

Is it possibile to add VPN Endpoint capabilieties?

As the title says...

RFC1483 bridged also not working in this version

FYI, I tested last night and I still get no default gateway with the new version.

Thanks WM :wink:

Hi ! The download page is not here today. Got a 404 error.

The page is back :biggrin:

I tested lasted firmware and I´m not see "MY SETUP" in router WAG200G.

Can I set the SNR (Downstream Margin) value with this firmware?

No, you cannot set the downstream margin.

guys is there a way to add Manual Connect/Disconnect button?? i need that because my ISP only allows 120 hours per month.. i don't want it to be online all the time.. plz help

It's already in the Linksys firmware :

thanks mate.. i really didn't see that.. i just got it yesterday...

i used the disconnect button but it reconnects by itself!!! is there a way to make it stay disconnected?

thanks

On the "Basic setup" screen, you must choose between "Connect on Demand" or "Keep Alive". I don't know if there's a value that can do what you want.

hello! My name is Nuno, i'm new at this forum...
I have a the WAG200G gateway with the Woytekm Firmware Version: A1.01.05-woytekm07 working just fine!
I just still can't access the gateway by telnet because I always get the "Wrong login" message... I'm using the Login: root and no password. is it wrong?
Thanks!

Download PuTTY and check you settings : ssh and/or telnet
(After a change, you must reboot your WAG200G)

what can I do with PuTTy? i still don't know how i can know my login information by telnet.. i tryed Login: root password: <enter>, and also my http login and none of them worked...

With Putty, you must choose between telnet or ssh :


Then use the root login with the WWW password.

Is this clear for you ?

PPPoE error with all firmware

Hi! I post my problem here, in case I find someone expert in this gateway.

So I flashed my WAG200G with 0.7a woytek firmware (after trying several official versions) and I still cannot connect to adsl using the gateways pppoe client. VCI/VPI settings, username, etc. are all fine, because in Bridge Mode only it works az a modem and I can use WinXP's pppoe to connect to my ISP.

01.01.07a fails to receive gateway through DHCP

I have tried the latest version of this custom build with a danish ISP, TDC.

The modem connects fine, and it receives the IP address, but gateway is missing from the DHCP information. I try to release and renew, and it is still missing an gateway, and if i choose to run with manually entered ip, it works for one hour, then the ISP release the DHCP assigned ip, and i have to renew the ip and manually enter all details again.

I have installed the official 01.01.06 again, as this firmware does not work for me with modem and dhcp assigned info.

Keep up the work. I will be watching for an update and verify if it works, when its released.

btw,
modem config details are
RFC 1483 Bridged, LLC, UBR, VPI/VCI 0/101 , auto IP from dhcp.

Hi! I'm having the exact same problem, although my WAG200G is an Annex B. I tried woytek build 0.6.2a and 0.7 and with both the gateway is missing. After flashing the device back with official Linksys firmware (1.01.05) all works fine again...

My modem config details are: RFC 1483 Bridged, LLC, UBR, VPI/VCI 0/34, auto IP from dhcp.

Maybe try another modulation setting, not auto.

woytek added a reboot feature (I was one of the people who requested it):

Can anyone explain how it works?

I'm not quite sure it's going to work as I thought it would.

hi there
nice firmware could you add month / week traffic ?? Upload / Download / Total ?
it whould be nice

Hi,
Just wanted to say, i'm running "woytekm build 0.7" ANNEX B version on my WAG200G-E1 without any problems
As i understand it's not tested on real hardware!?

Looking forward to "woytekm build 0.8"

There is one thing though, multiple no-ip domains isn't supported...
Here's the output:

Regards,
Tommy.

I also have successfully installed build 0.7 on my Annex A modem. When I discovered that the WAG200G had no DHCP IP reservation by default, I thought I had bought a piece of worthless hardware. But this custom firmware saved the day! :thumbups:
I'm also awaiting build 0.8, keep up the good work!

Hi Everyone,

I got mine less than a week ago but already love it compared to my slow and buggy dlink :biggrin:

Like DrLex I was desperate to get static DHCP capabilities and updated the firmware to 1.01.05-woytekm07. I've gone through the process of setting up the filesystem and it mounts fine each time the router is restarted. However, the file /mnt/mtd5/udhcpd.static disappears every time I reboot the router. Before reboot I use ssh to check that the file consists of strings of the form

Code:

static_lease xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx 192.168.1.x #comment

After reboot the file's gone :frown:

After checking the data is there try a "umount /mnt/mtd5" to unmount the mtd5 before rebooting. Linux also has a "sync" command which you may not have or it may not work - it may be the flash file system doesn't get written/closed quick enough when rebooting. We have the same problem on Routertech firmware with a minix nvram partition.

Unmounting the partition before rebooting did actually help. Thank you for your input, mstombs!

I need to find out wether this box supports wds or not? Officially it's not supported but whatabout unofficial builds. The tech support person said maybe and warranty void. So any help would be nice.

Does this firmware support upping the Wireless
signalstrength?

Wag200G

Hello

I'm experiencing some problems with my WAG200G. I have changed my 8MB ADSL line to 24MB and since then I'm not able to connect with this router. At DSL Connection tab I get either downstream and upstream rate at 0kb so I guess this router it's not compatible with my 24mb line. I've upgraded to firmware to 1.01.05-woytekm07 to see if it works. Does anyone had the same problem? I haven't see the no-ip ddns options.

Thanks for your help.

QoS

The standard firmware has a QoS feature, but it's very limited and after doing some tests I wonder if it even works at all (but maybe I just don't understand what it's supposed to do). It's only possible to set priorities for some standard services (HTTP, FTP, ...) and 3 custom ports. It's unclear whether this works on outgoing or incoming traffic only, or both. Also, when I enter a custom port, is this TCP, UDP or both?

This feature would become much more useful if it would look like this:

• A default QoS level can be set for all unspecified traffic.
• Port ranges can be specified.
• Much, much more custom fields are available, and for each field, there is a checkbox for incoming/outgoing and TCP/UDP.
• There is a built-in detector for certain types of traffic like Bittorrent (just using ports may not be enough for that), and this is added as another fixed option.

Given the fact that upload is only a fraction of the total bandwidth on most DSL lines, it would be tremendously useful to be able to tag bittorrent upload as low priority. Outgoing BT packets should yield to other traffic or even be dropped when necessary. This would make it possible to play or host games without constantly having to throttle transfer rates and ask the same people over and over again to stop polluting the network.

WAG200G 0.8 rebuild is now avaliable for download here :biggrin:

I installed WAG200G 0.8 rebuild and it works fine.
I also compiled my own version with some modifications from the original Linksys source.
Now I would like to add the changes I made to the things woytekm has already included. I found a link to the source code here in the forum, however you have to register first and the language used there is not known to me.

Has anyone got an idea where to get the woytekm source apart from there?

The language is Polish and I managed to register by using an online Polish dictionary and some guessing. However, the source code I found there appears to be a few versions old (0.6.2). I think you'll have to ask Woytekm himself for the latest version.

Any chance to get openwrt work on wag200g?

Its an AR7 and their is an AR7-port of openwrt. But I'd recommend you get a serial console and JTAG working first - I guess you have to reorganize the flash.

can someone upload this firmware to another host....the real host is down :S i can't download from it =S

I have installed the latest woytekm firmware on my new wag200g (1.01.06-woytekm08 (01)), and the web site works. I can login as well (of course but the ssh 1ogin to 192.168.1.254 (my modified modem/router ip address) does not work: I cannot login, the password is rejected. Anyone else have this problem or any suggestion what could be wrong?

Thanks, Charles

Are you using root usermane? When you login thru ssh you have to type root as login name instead of admin.

The website http://woytekm.googlepages.com/modifiedsoftwareforwag200g-eu is up and running. The firmware works great on my router.

Thanks. Yes, "root" works, I tried the "admin":-(

Hello!
Is this project still alive? I've installed the latest verison of woytekm firmware. I did it fot static DHCP, and it works really great for me. However I can't use torrent with full speed. When my torrent(uTorrent) client is working upload is as it should be, but download is about two times smaller than on official firmware. Also when torrent is working pings to some servers are much too high and www works terribly. It seems to me that this is a problem with number of open connections. Is there anything i could try to do, or I should back to official firmware?

And sorry for my English. ;p

no web interface after firmware installing

Hi,

I've installed the latest verison of woytekm firmware WAG200G_flashimage_1.01.06.wm-0.8-B.zip. Router rebootet and internet works. But there is no webinterface. Nmap router shows only the telnet port. So I can telnet into the box but how can I start the httpd?

Thanks for any info.

same problem here. now web interface!

Hello
The problem with www seems to be caused by some combination of previous firmware version and it's settings - probably using different language version than english.

Questions to people having "no www" issue: which firmware version and which laguage option have you used before installing woytekm rebuild ? What country are you from and which exact version of WAG200 are you using ? (I have WAG200G-EU ).

I've posted info on how to manually bring up the http server if you have working telnet/ssh:

Important info for everybody wanting to flash woytekm software:

I've conducted some more flashing tests and it looks that problems can appear when upgrading from localized factory firmware to woytekm rebuild. So please if you are trying to flash my rebuild - reset the language settings to english first.

Any news about this?

Known problems
- default gateway assignment fails when "RFC1483 Bridged" is chosen as encapsulation type on ADSL link. This is being worked on.

Yes. There is a new firmware version 0.9 that should fix this, the VPN passthru problem, few minor things, and add some new features. Currently i'm trying to make it as stable and safe as i can. All those problems with disappearing www pages need more investigation....
WM

Just posting to say thanks woytekm!

I am currently using your custom firmware (v 0.8) on my Linksys WAG200G-AU router (This is an ADSL over POTS or ANNEX A Router).

I am using the WAG200G_V1.01.06.wm-build-0.8-A.img.zip file from the sourcefourge repository.

Everything is working absolutely fine - I can access the MySetup page through both http and https. Static DHCP leases works flawlessly!

Just wanted to thank you for all of your hard work, and let others with this particular router know that the firmware works fine (No bricking involved )

Hi Woytekm, i'm testing now the firmware 1.01.08(03) and find it's very stable with my line that has problems. But I dont find the sources.

Hi Woytekm:

Any ETA on when your version 0.9 is going to be ready? I do use the VPN feature quite a bit, and hence 0.8 won't work for me.

Thanks.

Hrmm, something I have just noticed.

I received a free Thompson TG585v7 router from my ISP. I thought hey, why not give it a try.

In comparison to the WAG200G, the Thompson sync's 1.5Mbit higher downstream. This is also reflected in my download speeds when using the Thompson, they are about 0.5 to 1Mbit faster

However, the WAG200G just is far superior in it's interface.

I have tried reverting back to the stock firmware on the WAG200G, but now am back on the latest woytekm Annex A firmware.

Routers using certain broadcom chipsets are able to use something called DMT tool (Not 100% sure on the name) which fiddles with SnR ratios and transmit power in order to boost performance.

I am wondering if there is anything I can do in order to boost ADSL performance of the WAG200G router? Perhaps a script to run on the router bootup which boosts the output power of the router?

Any help would be very appreciated!

You can try my firmware. I have done some speed improvements and kernel patches. I have also did some finetuning and wrote a QoS-Script.

You can get it here: http://tinyurl.com/6lmsxm.

Your firmware above is for an Annex B router though.

Will this work on Annex A?

edit: I want to apologize 4 the above comment because i wasnt ready to brick my modem (who is?). May be the firmware didnt work with me, but his support was immediate, after email him and he worked for hours to restore my routers firmware back via ssh. Researchers like him are need in the world of technology and at last, make our lifes better. Feel comfortable to use his firmware and if u have any problem dont run like me to say bad words but ask him for help. The guy is OK
