Also, if you read further back you will notice that the firewall blocks UPnP responses,
UPnP resides within your LAN and is not intended to be routed!
That there is something wrong with UPnP and K26 is quite clear from WRT320 but that has nothing to do with firewalling UPnP packets.

Look at the load average, and my screenshots..
Can you describe what Load Average measures?
What are the limits, and what does it mean if you are exceeding them?
The load average is a ratio of free clock cycles to clock cycles that are performing a function for the router. If you have the CPU just clocking away not doing any major processing your CPU load average will be low....but if your processor is trying to do too much, some processes have to take a back seat to higher priority processes...this is where you can actually see the load average over 1.00 (100% utilitzed clock cycles)...the processes in waiting will show above the 1.00 limit.
There are 3 load average numbers...the first on the left is the load average over the previous one minute....then middle number is the load average over the previous 5 minutes, and the last number on the right is the load average over the previous 15 minutes.
hope it helps.

I can add to redhawks description that 1.15 is the limit where a process has to wait for being serviced so the range is 0 - 1.15.
Multiply that value with the number of cpu cores to get the critical value, ie 5 cores then 5.75 is where processes has to wait for service.
I think the 4716-4718 cpu's has more cores than previous mips cpu's so it may well be that the load average doesn't show correct values for WRT320N and RT-N16.
It is therefore that I rather trust the top commands output for individual processes and the total for user,system, irq, sirq, and nic than believing in the load average figures.

Sorry...I thought you were asking in general....and that is good info on the 4716-4718 processors....I learned something new today too....thanx.

I don't think any broadcom's wifi chips are multi-core. They clearly list some of their high-end enterprise/data center chips as being dual/quad core but the wifi chips have no such designation.

Looking for bricks and spare routers to expand my collection.
I just replaced my Linksys WRT54G WDS-bridge with an RT16N. A 2nd RT16N is on its way which will replace the WAN-router. The first thing I noticed was the slow wireless link I'm having with my WL-500G Premium.
After bringing power down from 71 mW to 20 mW its speed went up to the full 54 Mbps...
Some programs don't run properly. fdisk -l without a devicename doesn't give you all the partition which is normal behaviour. swapon -s doesn't work either.

UPnP appears to be a substantial issue with K26 builds like this, and likely needs a separate discussion that focuses on that issue, so I have split those discussions to here:
Please continue UPnP discussions relating to the k26 kernel in that thread.
Also, the general "discussion" of the Rt-N16 appears to have been locked. I have started a new thread that will be moderated to discuss this router aside from the build related discussion.
So please report dd-wrt running 13297 on this router only in this thread. _________________ SIG:

Edit : now seems to be working. Didn't really do anything to fix it, just reboots as part of OpenVPN setup, and now OK. So possibly false alarm.
I've just noticed that my scheduled reboot isn't working. cron is enabled, and the router is getting the right time via NTP.
cron is running according to top, and the cron jobs are actually located in /tmp/cron.d, they just don't seem to be getting run.

1. when i run multicast (iptv or radio) on LAN, internet on wifi die (CPU load 9%), after 2 minits wifi conection die (LED lights but can not connect). when stop multicast wifi come to life.
during run multicast can not connect to wifi.
i try on 13297 big and 13309 mini
2. wifi speed:
i test speed to internet. LAN 64/64Mbit downoload/upload
WIFI only 15Mbit
in router set mixed mod speed. current rate 54Mbit, TX power 17mW
in official asus firmware i have 20Mbit on wifi
3. support for asus ddns?
4.how can i print on 13297 big?
i enable USB suports, JFFS2 but not printing,...
I installed according to http://www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/USB_on_ASUS_WL500GPV2
but wrt not detect me printer (missing /dev/usb
folder)
on original asus firmware print.
what needs to be set? HP photosmart 7150
EDIT:
printer installed:
Code:
1. Enable USB support and JFFS2 in Web GUI
2. Make sure the printer is loaded by runnig "dmesg | grep printer" (without the quotes) in Telnet
3. Run "ipkg update" (without quotes) in Telnet. If it gives some error go and disable, enable and clean JFFS2 a few times until it works.
4. Install printer server by running "ipkg install p910nd" (without quotes) in Telnet.
5. Run the following commands in Telnet one by one:
cd /jffs/etc
mkdir config
cd config
echo "/jffs/usr/sbin/p910nd -b -f /dev/usb/lp0 0" > usb.startup
chmod +x usb.startup
6. Now reboot the router by typing "reboot" (without quotes) and it should load the p910nd print server when it boots up. To verify the print server is loaded run:
but when i print document, list of print is empty and no print:-( _________________ RT-N16 back to asus firmware - dd-wrt is very unstable for this router with atheros clients
Question to developers : where to you get the driver for the wireless adapter? If it's a binary driver in the official asus firmware, how to you get it to work with your custom kernel for openwrt?
