Re: Airlink+ AR315W - having some fun

With the sercomm firmware? You will want to get a new IP address from the router (release/renew DHCP lease). It should be in the 192.168.0.x range and the router's IP should be 192.168.0.1.

sweet anon! i finally got around to messin w/ this router again..

did the hex edit, and got the fw loaded finally. my problem was i had flashed to that hawking f/w awhile ago...id saved all the files, firmwares and txt's of what to do, and i couldnt for the life of me get it to flash any other firmware at all...

what i needed to do was take that hex address and change it to the hawking model changed that hex to 16 and BAM! it flashed, and rebooted and now i have the new following

Device: HWR54G
F/W Ver: 2.3 Release 1A

Sweet, finally get the stupid router running smoothly with Sercom firmware.
the DNS problem can be solve as follow:
leave the hostname and domain name field blank, and it will give you your ISP's dns instead of your router's ip as DNS, and everything is good afterwards.

the MAC level access control is kind of string, though, the internet access one is fine, but for the lan access one, even when you choose allow lan access by all wireless stations, without choose your station in the select stations field, you would only be able to get your ip address, but you won't be able to communicate with your computer in the lan (but this is pretty sweet for me, since i connect the ADSL modem as bridge, and do a loop-back with the router's wan and lan, making it possible to use the PPPOE in the router, at the same time i can connect PPPOE with individual PCs)

My modem is actually a Eagletec arm-914, and it's exactly the same as Airlink AR315W, with the oldest 1.0.21 without WPA on.
I tried the Airlink newer firmware - it really sucks, and tried the AR315Wupdate.rar from this thread, but have serious problem with auth. (router not working wiv WEP64bit), and finally sercom one works fine

eager to try the linksys firmware latter on. I got a WRT54G with hyperWRT. Hope someone would make a great firmware with WRT54GC

Really thanks for all the great work done on this router. really helps a lot.

I use an older Linksys WRT54G with the DD-WRT firware. For a long time. Works very well. Reliable. Has the features I want that are missing in Linksys' firmware.

I dumped sveasoft's firmware. Crashy and the author is a dolt.

they packaged these units with the wrong power supply. the 12v power supply causes the unit to overheat and all kinds of problems occur.

if you contact them, they will ship you out a 5v power supply for free that will completely fix the problem.

Hi there,

I have a HWR54G rev. M. Since I've read here that it has the same hardware as others, I've been trying different firmwares.

I tried the sercom firmware (pretty much the same as hawking's features, but different layout), and the wrt54gc. To install those, I had to change the bytes at offsets 0x01 and 0x26, to make the installed firmware accept the new one.

I thought the linksys firmware would have something new that the hawking didn't. But not really. After a while, I decided to install the updated hawking firmware. But I can't!

I tried changing the 0x01 and 0x26 bytes to all combinations used previously, and even uploading the official wrt54gc firmware. They are all rejected!

I didn't brick my router, but I'm stuck with the wrt54gc firmware now.

I tried to tftp it on windows (with the -i parameter), and I get the error "PID wrong". I guess tftp'ing also gets to check the header.

Any ideas of what to do? The only thing I can think of is to generate different images with different values at 0x26 and/or 0x01 so I can get the CRC to pass.

So I opened the box to verify if the 12V/5V power
supply claim is valid or not.
The DC-DC converter is AnaChip AP1506 1506-50
»www.anachip.net/products ··· 1506.pdf

It can handle input voltage up to 22V, and recommended
input is 12V.

I tested 5V 7.5V and 12V, they all work but with 5V
power supply, DC output is only 4.0V

Make your own judge if 5V posts are valid or not

Same here... My wireless does not hold a DHCP address and I cannot change the firmware... Are we stuck with it now? Any help will be appreciated. I need to re-flash any firmware that allow changes after it is loaded.

Anyone had any luck upgrading the firmware on the ARI315W AFTER having installed the Sercomm firmware? I can't get the original Airlink firmware back on, nor the Linksys firmware (appropriately patched).

JUST FIXED IT !!!

Just get the regular stock 1.0.26 firmware and change the header as follows:

Byte 26: change from 14 to 01
Byte 32: change from 10 to 23
Byte 33: change from 26 to 1A

Save it and use the utility built into the web interface to upgrade the firmware. I assume you are using now the address 192.168.0.1. The firmware update now should work.
After you finish it, you can now load the original 1.0.26 image if you want. It also works.
Note that the new web interface address is the "old" 192.168.1.1 ...

Good luck!
PS: It worked for me. I am not responsible if it does not work for you in any way.
