Posted: Sat Oct 14, 2017 2:28 Post subject: having trouble with wifi broadcasting
I would like to start out by thanking Padavan for the incredible work he put in on the asus firmware, and I would like to thank everyone collectively for all the work they put in with support and builds... without all of you helping i would just stick my head in the sand and pray nobody spotted my ignorance...
so here comes my problem...
im trying to flash a belkin f9k1103v1 currently with 1_10_17 firmware to BN750db3.4.3.9-99_XXXX.trx with VPN support...
everthing flashes fine wait 3 minutes....
resets and i can 192.168.1.1/ login/change settings/reboot/reflash/ the problem is i cant get the radio on...
theres no SSID broadcast no matter how hard i tweek the settings...
what step am i missing??? i have search and read hundreds of post in the last 36hrs which have given me little headway...
i have several revisions of BN750DB....9-99_XXXX.trx i can't get the SSID broadcast out of any suffix (base,trmd,dlna)...
I have all the original firmwares i could find...IE XXXXXX_14,XXXXXX_17,XXXXXX_22... they all work fine but no VPN...
--------------------------------------------------------
my ultimate goal is to be able to put VPN inside the belkin f9k1103 as AP(with network wide USB printing)...
my outside the box configuration is....i would like anonymity computers connected to cellular hotspot... sounds simple....
cellular hotspot>>>>tp-link730RE(as modem)>>>>f9k1103 (as AP with VPN)>>>>>With all my computers attached to AP...
if that makes sense to anyone...(it would be a cinch if android had "hotspot with VPN" capability but they don't make one that i can find)...it sure is hard to look at when i put it out on paper... and i've really created an interesting wire jungle doing it...

After spending 2 days on this....flashing and reading and flashing and pretending to read .I stepped away for few hours and the answer just popped up in front of me ...literally...I was flipping thru settings for the 100th time and all the way at the bottom I spotted the channel format was in European mode...well @%#$@€£@$€£%#!!!!
At least I got the opportunity to thank everyone for all the help I'm going to need in the near future..😇
I thought I'd try compiling Padavan's firmware myself. I got as far as
Code:
sudo ./build_firmware
My computer chugged along for a long time before winding down with this:
Code:

Hi all,
Just wondering if anyone has a VPN set up on their Belkin? I tried with Nordvpn but couldn't get it to work. I tried, working with their support, for about a week but no success. I'm using 099 base firmware.
Cheers,
It is broadcasting the ASUS ssid but I do not know the password. The lan ports and modem port on my router were previously broken so I am unable to access the router.

Does anybody know the password?
What's the difference between BN750DB_3.4.3.9-099_base.trx and BN750DB_3.4.3.9-099L_base.trx
Belkin is really pathetic when it comes to security updates by the way, check this out:
Quote:
08/17/17 - Belkin indicates a fixed firmware image has been produced but it needs to go through QA. Estimates 90 days until release. Belkin asks if Tenable plans on disclosing.
08/17/17 - Tenable confirms intention to disclose in the future.
11/07/17 - Tenable asks for an update.
11/07/17 - Belkin sends autoresponse that security@belkin.com is no longer being monitored.
(FYI: as far as I know Belkin did not release the fixed firmware image yet) (and it's hilarious that their approach to security is to stop monitoring their e-mail.)
