I know, but they do not select the wrt160nl profile on those builds, and wifi do not work ?

I Installed the last one yesterday and didn't manage to get wifi up and running yet. All I want to do right now is use the router as a WEP-repeater. Any suggestions? What log output would be helpful?

I think WDS ain't supported in ath9k yet.

Oh noes ...

I will try to install a buildroot environment...it's about time I do the effort.
Any suggestions for a tutorial ?
Thank you

Thanks for a response.  I was just frustrated because no one even acknowledged my post.  I should be able to figure out the cable I think, we will see I suppose. 

I did nmap the router, at least what I thought would be the ip address, and nothing came up. 

The weird thing is, that switching is working as I can connect to other computers, but the power light keeps blinking, and I can't connect to the router.  ugh.

Thanks for the response,

p.s. I did compile it myself, so i probably screwed something up in the config or something...

WRT160NL profile exists in trunk and works fine.  Build firmware yourself and Wifi works.

The OpenWRT & X-WRT buildbot makes a generic Atheros image that doesn't include WRT160NL profile.   Thus those images have no Wifi.

Clear now?

Is it very time consuming to build an image or can someone please upload one with the corresponding profile and maybe x-wrt in it? I would really appreciate it !

Hi,

I compiled my own version for the wrt 160 nl. And so Wifi works. But I can get only 54 MBit/s on my client. How can I enable the N protokol?

With the original linksysfirmware I got 130 Mbit/s an Iperf shows me about 60 Mbit/s and now I got only a 54 MBIt connection and about 20 Mbit/s.

Could someone help me?

The output of uci show wireless is:

wireless.wlan0=wifi-device
wireless.wlan0.type=mac80211
wireless.wlan0.disabled=0
wireless.wlan0.channel=7
wireless.@wifi-iface[0]=wifi-iface
wireless.@wifi-iface[0].device=wlan0
wireless.@wifi-iface[0].network=lan
wireless.@wifi-iface[0].mode=ap
wireless.@wifi-iface[0].ssid=HomeLand
wireless.@wifi-iface[0].encryption=psk2
wireless.@wifi-iface[0].key=mykey

So, I guess I managed to build OpenWRT on my Mac. Here's the output of the terminal, please have a look at it and tell me if my image is safe to be installed ony my router:

Thx in advance!

Yes, now use openwrt-ar71xx-wrt160nl-squashfs.bin.

ok, my build works fine, wifi and all. to get luci working in trunk you need three packages:

"opkg install luci-admin-full",  "opkg install luci-theme-base" and "opkg install luci-theme-openwrt"

Only thing I need now is to get openwrt to identify my usb stick, I can't see any /dev/sd* . Any ideas?

Look here:

Thanks mate!

does anyone know how to enable boot wait on this device?

Now I have got a bigger problem than the wlan Speed. I have changed the LED Settings in Luci and no  can't access the 160nl. When I reboot the device I can Ping it for about 10seconds.

What can I do now?

Since this is a Atheros based device which uses UBoot. I don't think the Broadcom boot_wait works on these. I could be wrong I have next to no experince with these Atheros units. Mine's all Broadcom based so far.

Try failsafe mode.

Doesn't work on WRT 160 NL. I tried it, but no success.

I think I read earlier in this thread that because of this being a trunk install that failsafe wasn't implemented yet.

Changeset 17321: [ar71xx] preliminary failsafe support (closes #5726)

That's cool but... why isn't it working for him? alaub81 did you do it correctly? Here's the info from the wiki:

Depends on what revision alaub81 uses. Failsafe mode support was added about ten days ago.

I use the latest svn Version and I used the wiki articel to get into failsafe mode. I got the udp message to press the reset bottun, but then nothing happened. I read in antother post that wrt160 nl has problems with the failsafe mode.

I brick my wrt160nl.
Can acsess it widt putty, but do not know comand to put in firmware thats work?
