Here's the sources for exFAT v0.9.8 package http://git.razvi.ro/?p=openwrt.org%2Fpackages-other.git

Thanks @dvb15. Is it barebone or does it have web UI?

When will be released a patchset to add support to kernel 3.6? Openwrt now does not support 3.3 kernel anymore for bcm47xx (they removed all from trunk)

Thanks
FunMan

Anyone can guide me how to flash my E3000 to OpenWRT?

You can use these lines as package sources:

src/gz barrier_braker http://openwrt.razvi.ro/barrier_braker_asus_rt-n16_svn_r34640/packages
src/gz attitude_adjustment http://downloads.openwrt.org/attitude_adjustment/12.09-beta/brcm47xx/generic/packages

Sorry, but what to do with 3.6 or 3.7 kernel?

Thanks
FunMan

If you use the latest available build by Razvi (r34640), you get kernel 3.3.8. The same kernel version is used in packages in the links I mentioned.
If not, then you'd better ask George or adjust pathes yourself.

Rt-n16 is now suported in trunk.

Wow! At last! 3+ years passed.

http://openwrt.razvi.ro/barrier_braker_asus_rt-n16_svn_r35318/

Works as expected.

couldn't get Internet access, only internal access. will try to reload this tomorrow when I have more time

@Venom  - does your build have also george's patches or only openwrt trunk - as hauke reported working ?

only openwrt trunk. I will update my git repo soon.

FYI : I had to flash it twice to get it to work.

I am having great difficulty in getting my RT-N16 to do *anything*. Did a 30/30/30 reset and tftp of  r34640 openwrt-brcm4716-squashfs.trx

Apart from problems with wifi going walkies I cannot get my mind around vlans.

Firstly, does OpenWRT actually use nvram? Because "nvram show | grep vlan" bears absolutely no relation to what OpenWRT thinks it has set. It always thinks vlan1ports=1 2 3 4 8*

I tried dropping the 4 with nvram set vlan1ports='1 2 3 8*' & nvram commit and rebooting and that resulted in not being able to to get back in on *any* port. Put it back and lo all the ports work again. This is an N router so the CPU is 8 and this shows up in the default /etc/config/network as 1 2 3 4 8* but as soon as you do anything with the GUI switch page the 8 vanishes on both vlan1 and vlan0. Clicking on the CPU dropdown in the gui results in 5 being set not 8.

I tried to set up a port on a separate vlan with the its own dhcp as in the wiki examples and although it claimed to have done it, connecting to the port in question gave an address from the main pool of 192.168.1.* rather than 192.168.2.* it should have been from.
   
I am sure I am missing something basic but what?

TIA

The gui is not prepared for this switch yet, it always assumes a six-port layout for broadcom switches.
As for the nvram - only the bootloader should respect it, OpenWrt does not make use of it (except for the initial network config in certain cases).

I have a dual wan configuration and almost all works well with r35318. I use LuCI, except for the switch tab and my ports settings are not changed.
I have one single problem. I cannot acces other local machines from WIFI to lan or vice versa.

config switch_vlan 'eth0_0'
        option device 'eth0'
        option vlan '0'
        option ports '1 2 3 8*'

config switch_vlan 'eth0_1'
        option device 'eth0'
        option vlan '1'
        option ports '0 8'

config switch_vlan 'eth0_2'
        option device 'eth0'
        option vlan '2'
        option ports '4 8'

This is the trunk
http://git.razvi.ro/?p=openwrt.git& … Fnetconfig

        # generic broadcom 4716 processor with 53115 switch
        if (nvram["boardtype"] == "0x04cf") {
            c["vlan0ports"] = "1 2 3 4 8*"
            c["vlan1ports"] = "0 8"
        }

This is in George's patch
http://git.razvi.ro/?p=openwrt.git& … Fnetconfig

        if (model == "ASUS RT-N16") {
            c["vlan0ports"] = "1 2 3 4 8"
            c["vlan1ports"] = "0 8"
        }

Razvi, so what is the actual difference between your build from here:
http://openwrt.razvi.ro/barrier_braker_asus_rt-n16_svn_r35318/

and official snapshot from here:
http://downloads.openwrt.org/snapshots/trunk/brcm47xx/

?

Thanks,
Gregory

latest build doesn't seem to work on my rt-n16. did multiple flashes using the ASUS Recovery Tool. the flash goes through without any issues but I can't get it to access the Internet, only internal access. I have set it to the same configuration that was used build r34640.

The older build r34640 does load and does get an Internet connection.

Also, i can't seem to revert back to TomatoUSB using the ASUS Recovery Tool. The flashing process looks like it goes through but it does not boot back up. If anyone has any ideas I would appreciate it.

Thanks,

Riddlah

Ah, so the GUI does not support it. Must have missed that up thread. Thanks so much jow. Just tweaked /etc/config/network to match the above and it promptly isolated one port.

I wonder if all my problems are down to trying to set up multiple vlans and the gui dropping the CPU connection for them?

Most likely.

hey Venom, I am running your old r30776 build. So far, it 's been solid and stable. One problem though, all ethernet connections seem to  be limited to 10M. Ethtool does not work on the rt-n16 as it does not return anything. Is this because of the bgmac driver?

Venom, could you please enable i2-core in your kernel builds? I am getting "Unknown symbol __i2c_board_list" when initializing my  webcam. Currently I am testing http://openwrt.razvi.ro/barrier_braker_asus_rt-n16_svn_r35318/. Thank you.

Hi. VeNoM, I have the same problem with WiF - LAN and LAN-Wifi as You. My machines cannot see each other. Is there any solution on this? I tried add:
       if (model == "ASUS RT-N16") {
            c["vlan0ports"] = "1 2 3 4 8"
            c["vlan1ports"] = "0 8"
        }
to config file, but compilation of newest 35412 trunk for RT-N16 changed nothing...

Hi,

yesterday I flashed my E3000 that seems to be working. I tried to separate lan ports 2, 3 and 4 in the same vlan of wan (I need a particular configuration, simple switch for the 2,3 and 4 port and normal routing for the lan and wlan.... this configuration is running on an old whr-hp-g54 with dd-wrt that I want to replace) and now the ethernet is not working anymore.

As soon as possible I'll connect a serial console to view what happens and to restore the ethernet back. Did someone experienced this problem? Is it a limit of bmagic driver?

Thanks
FunMan

RT-N16 H/W A1 flashed with  35318 openwrt-brcm47xx-squashfs.trx

I have isolated ports 2 & 3 to a 192.168.2 network as per all good info here. I then try to forward from the lan, ports wifi, 1 & 4, to the second network. I have forward rules set both ways. https://forum.openwrt.org/viewtopic.php?pid=190819#p190819 has the config.

Running wireshark on a box on 192.168.1 and another also running a packet trace on 192.168.2 plus tcpdump on the Asus.

Ping 192.168.2.1 from the 1 box works. Trace on 1 shows echo out and reply back. Trace on Asus shows both as well.

Ping 192.168.2.2 from the 1 box and tracing shows it reaching the 2 box and the reply sent but nothing shows on the Asus except the port led blinks.

Ping 192.168.1.1 from the 2 box works. Ping 192.168.1.2 from the 2 box stops at the Asus the same as the replies in the previous tests.

Putting the 1 box onto the 2 network and pinging the first 2 box works - But, there is nothing in the "tcpdump -ni any" on the Asus would this be normal with in one port and out another on the same network interface?

TIA
