RouterTech Firmware v2.3 released

Post by **thechief** » Fri Dec 14, 2007 9:22 pm

I can't see anything obviously wrong in the diagnostics, so I am not sure what the problem is.

You might want to take a look at DarkWolf's mod of RT v2.3. It is specifically modded for the g604t, and also has the "tiupgrade" utility, which seems far better for the g604t firmware upgrade than the pctool or the web upgrade.

You're running RT firmware for AR7WRD on an AR7RD?
Your ADAM2 prompt says RD, your firmware says WRD.

If i use wrong RT firmware for G604T...what exactly i have to use? Mod from DarkWolf?

I don't think you should worry about whether the environment says ar7wrd or ar7rd. Sometimes manufacturers just put whichever they want. As long as it is a "standard" g604t (whatever that is), then it should be compatible with the relevant RT firmware and the DarkWolf mod.

New question...

Situation. My ISP has one special bug... After cold reboot (power off and on on the G604T) my modem try make pppoe connection but ISP answer - access denied... The reason is that ISP dont close previouse session and dont grant access to my modem. If i will wait for 5-10 minutes pppoe connection perform normally. But... my modem with 2.3. release dont try reconnect after received answer "access denied" from ISP ... Is it possible to force my modem try to connect again after 5-10 minutes if modem receive answer "access denied"?

Thanks in advance...

The short answer is "No". You could however try using the checksync feature (which checks for a WAN connection at certain intervals, and reboots the router if there is no WAN connection). Login via telnet/ssh and run this

Code: Select all

setenv checksynch.sh "1 10"
/sbin/reboot

This will check for a WAN connection every 10 minutes, etc.

There is a possibility that you could use the RT_CMD_# boot environment variables to add something to the cron at the beginning, and have it restart pppd or something.

....isn't that what Chief's checksynch script does ?

No. The checksync script doesn't restart just pppd. It restarts the entire router using /sbin/reboot. The method I was proposing would involve killall -KILL pppd and perhaps running pppd again.

I'll try coming up with a shell script, but I have to learn some stuff first. >< I forgot how to code shell scripts.
