Anyone having ISP connection issues using L2TP? I am using the latest build and am based in Israel. Not the first time I encountered L2TP connectivity issues using routers here in Israel. I get an initial IP from the infrastructure provider through the modem but dialing in wont supply an IP from the ISP. If I dial in through the modem it works fine. Any help would be appreciated.
CSYS format used by edimax routers is :
"CSYS" signature
then
00 00 c0 00
00 00 05 00
(I don't know what it means but it seems it should always have this values), then
4 character model id, which is "WNRA" for 6524n (this value is used only by edimax webflash and ignored by tftp loader),
then
4 bytes - image file size excluding the header but including the checksum at the end of the file.
then goes the image - kernel and rootfs,
then the checksum of the image excluding the header, also 4 bytes.
the checksum is calculated by reading the image word by word and adding it to the sum, then not(sum)+1.
Here is ddwrt for 6524n build 14815 (latest available), that should support l2tp without the firewall script. Please test.
Hi KMMG,
Thanks for the image, really appreciated. It is now able to conect however, only for a short time (i.e. less than a few minutes) before having to power down/up the router in order for it to work again. The entire router freezes up and can not even access the CP after surfing to a few pages or even accessing the routers cp pages. Not quite sure where the issue is but am willing to help in any way possible.

Maybe you have the firewall script also installed ? If so, remove it.
I have MPLS connection and don't use l2tp for now, so I wasn't able to test the image thoroughly, but write me who is your ISP and which l2tp gateway you use and I will try to test this condition.

Are you referring to the firewall script written in the other topic? If so, it is not installed. My ISP is Bezeq Bein Leumi gateway is hot.bezeqint.net

is this image going to work on the 6324nl ?
Hi Pavlan,
I am using this image on the same router. you just need to do the following:
- power off your router
- hold the reset switch
- plug the power back on
- the wireless light should start flashing
- you can then release the switch and the router will swallow anything through tftp. you need to tftp onto 192.168.1.6 (router ip in recovery mode). make sure your computer has a static ip (like 192.168.1.1/24).
Let me know if you don't understand any of the steps or if you have any issues.
Please note that the router uses the default IP (192.168.1.1) after flashing successfully with DD-WRT

This doesnt work on my br-6324nl. The wireless led didnt started flashing, the router just "freezed" somehow. I tried tftp on 172.17.0.1 (router default ip), 192.168.1.6 but i failed. I really wanna get rid of the crap edimax firmware (which has no wan connect/disconnect button, and i need to reset the router to reconnect - i really need this function), can you help me ? or there is another firmware which works on this router ?

Hi mate,
I cannot remmeber about the flashing lite "don't have the router near me" but all I can think of is make sure that your computer has a static IP like
192.168.1.2 with a subnet of 255.255.255.0.
Ok, i flashed it but now i can't connect to dd-wrt page (192.168.1.1). Also, the router seems to be dead, the WLAN and WAN leds are off, just the POWER and LAN1 leds are green. I can't use the router now. How can i restore the old firmware, or how can i make dd-wrt work ?
