Hi,
I just bought a WL-700gE recently. Due to a bug in the original firmware, I am able to telnet into the router. I was able to login as root and was even able to install asterisk on it. I eventually want to install openwrt on this device, but I don't think I know enough to do it. As far as I can tell, the firmware contains 3 sections, kernel, mini root, real root. kernel and mini root will be written to flash (2MB) real root system will be written to HD. It looks very like what is described here http://www.openmss.org/Hardware/MssExtractFirmware (as they have the same CPU and design).
My question is what should I go next in order to run openwrt on this device? I can post more information from the router if that will help.

Thanks a lot !

Nice - can I ask where you live?

I havent seen the router for sale in Europe yet, so I guess you are in the South East Asia region somewhere?

I really can only suggest that you try to make your postings at http://forum.openwrt.org - thoose guys are a lot more capable of helping your out with completely new stuff than I am - and I bet they would LOVE to help out with this device, as it is very much anticipated :-)

As soon as I see it on sale here in Europe, I will try to find the money to buy one myselves !

Thanks,

I live in New York but I have friends in Taiwan where WL700gE is available. So I just ask a friend to get me one. For whatever reason, this unit is extremely hard to find even in Taiwan. I only have it for 2 weeks. So far so good. I just can not wait to fully expand the pontential of this unit. I wish I have known more about embedded system like you guys. Smiley But anyway, I will give it a try there. Once I get something working I will report back.

It is now listed at komplett.se,
http://www.komplett.se/k/ki.asp?sku=320619,
preliminarily for 2006-06-16, priced 3195 SEK ~ 340 EUR ~ 430 USD.

They also list WL-500 g Premium,
http://www.komplett.se/k/ki.asp?sku=321717
with 10 days delivery, priced 1095 SEK ~ 115 EUR ~ 150 USD,

or try
http://www.komplett.com/
to find if they are represented in your area.

They dont list WL-500 gx any more.

I am a very happy customer at Komplett - quick delivery (has always arrived within two days if they show the item as stocked) , OK prices and a nice and friendly return policy that actually works.
I try to place all my buys there.
