Yota router or wimax2wifi in 15 minutes

Often there is a need to quickly or inexpensively connect the office to the Internet. For this purpose, the new Moscow-St. Petersburg wireless Internet provider, Yota, which some of us have successfully failed in public testing, is excellent :)

Thanks to two people, Oleg, who made an alternative firmware with advanced features for the asus wl-500gp router http: //oleg.wl500g .info / , and Xander, who performed reverse engineering and created a yota-modem driver for linux http://code.google.com/p/madwimax/ , have the opportunity to create a yota-router http://wl500g.info/showthread.php? t = 17005

UPD: These manipulations are no longer relevant. The latest firmware from Oleg supports Yota by default, the setting is in the web interface. Link -http://code.google.com/p/wl500g/ . by Paskal .

The modem activation procedure is a bit confusing and requires some preparatory work, which only wl-500th experts are familiar with. The purpose of this article is to simplify the activation process to three simple steps:

1. preparatory,
2. firmware change
3. running a modem activation script.

Preparatory

We will need:

1. Cable with Internet (needed to download packages by router)
2. An unnecessary flash drive that will now live in a router (there will be firewood on it)
3. Yota modem
4. Firmware from Oleg with oleg.wl500g.info/1.9.2.7-9/WL500gp-1.9.2.7-9.zip
5. ASUS Firmware Restoration Application from the disk from the router kit
6. We connect the USB flash drive to the lower slot,
7. Modem to the top
8. Cable with Internet in WAN

Firmware replacement

1. Hold and hold the reset button on the back of the modem
2. Disconnect for a few seconds
3. We release the reset button after the power indicator flashes
4. Launch ASUS Firmware Restoration Application
5. Select the unpacked firmware of Oleg
6. Click Upload.

Yota modem activation

1. Here the router will need the Internet. If the Internet requires manual settings, we enter them through the web interface.
2. After boot start-> execute-> telnet 192.168.1.1
3. Username admin password admin
4. Copy the code below to the clipboard
5. Right-click in the window that appears
6. We are waiting for about 10-15 minutes, depending on the speed of the flash drive and the Internet. At the end, the router will restart. 10 seconds after loading, the blue lamp will go out and the connection indicator on the modem will flash.

ipkg.sh update

flashfs save
flashfs commit
flashfs enable

reboot

Done! The router is connected to the network through Yota!
