Same here, for me its a internal http and smtp-server giving timeouts behind the WAG54G.
With the latest version 1.02.2 it got even more worse as pictures on the internal webpage are sometimes not loaded now. Before it the SMTP port was just timing out sometimes.
This issue was introduced with 1.01.7, 1.01.5 was working fine. verified this when downgraded to 1.01.5 again.
However there is a workaround: remove the ports from "single port forwarding" (remove them, not only disable - I found out they were still working even when disabled)!
After that add the port(s) to the port range forwarding, e.g. for FTP use 20-21 /TCP.
Even if you have only one port (e.g.http, port 80) forward it only in port range forwarding - NOT in single port.
This seems stupid, but this was the only reliable solution for me. external site monitoring (»
www.siteuptime.com) verified this for me.
This is just one of the annoying bugs in the WAG54G firmware (current 1.02.2)...
A few others are:
- manual MTU can not be saved (PPPOE mode)
- logs are not showing why a connection is failing (wrong passwd, pppoe server timeout etc)
- SNMP: on all 3 interfaces outgoing octects are not increasing properly... incoming are fine
- SNMPV2c support with latest firmware ? Didnt worked... SNMPV2 queries are timing out, still only V1 working
- With 1.02.2 I'm finally getting notification mails from the device but guess what... they are empty.
