Things are looking good but not perfect

This is my telco settings

Code: Select all

APN = internet.telecom.co.nz
username = (blank)
password = (blank)
Dial Number = *99#
PDP Type = IP
Authentication Mode = PAP
DNS Server = Obtain Automatically
PDP Address = Obtain Automatically
This is what I get when I plug my usb modem in (which looks good)

Code: Select all

usb 1-1: new high speed USB device using ar71xx-ehci and address 3
usb 1-1: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice
option 1-1:1.0: GSM modem (1-port) converter detected
usb 1-1: GSM modem (1-port) converter now attached to ttyUSB0
option 1-1:1.1: GSM modem (1-port) converter detected
usb 1-1: GSM modem (1-port) converter now attached to ttyUSB1
scsi1 : SCSI emulation for USB Mass Storage devices
option 1-1:1.3: GSM modem (1-port) converter detected
usb 1-1: GSM modem (1-port) converter now attached to ttyUSB2
usb-storage: device found at 3
usb-storage: waiting for device to settle before scanning
scsi 1:0:0:0: Direct-Access     ZTE      MMC Storage      322  PQ: 0 ANSI: 2
usb-storage: device scan complete
sd 1:0:0:0: [sdb] Attached SCSI removable disk
Soon after this the router locked up

Look like I might have to try again with a reflash

Been running for up for 5 hours now with good results

I think there is something wrong with the "connection attempts" but once connected works well.

Signal strength is poor and I suspect this has something to do with poor connection attempts?

I've been waiting for it to fail to post the logread but nothing to report so far

I know I'm not using an official build but i want to report anyway

If you change the SSID the router will lock up

To reset I removed the power

Router rebooted as expected but would not connect to the internet

SSH into router and ran "ifup wan" command which connected to the internet.

Router running fine after that.

This build is very touchy
