Report on dd-wr-goo.v24_micro_generic-2

[AeonFlux]

I wanted to let people know just how easy this is to get running. I have a number of Linksys WRT54G v2 routers that I acquired. (Note: this works exactly the same for any WRT54G v1, v2, v3 or v4) My good friend worked me through this but it was really easy.

1st... I got the web gui file from the dd-wrt site. This let me use the Linksys' own built-in functions to do the 1st upgrade.
The dd-wrt instructions for my router told me to do a 30-30-30 reset, so I did. That puts the router on 192.168.1.1 for all the rest of this process. I had to wait another 20 seconds or so for the router to settle down.
I then logged back onto it and went to administration/firmware upgrade. I browsed the dd-wrt.v24_mini_generic.bin and selected it. I hit the (Upgrade) button and let er rip. I watched the moving bar and got the "Upgrade Successful" message. I had to go back and log back onto 192.168.1.1. This time the user was "root" and the password was "admin" but now my router had dd-wrt on it.
But now the important simple stuff. I pulled the power and let it power back up. Then, following the dd-wrt site instructions, I did another 30-30-30 reset on it. After that it wanted a new username and password. I used real simple username and password for temporary.

That put Standard dd-wrt on my router - no goo software yet.

But the next part was just more of what I had just done. I just did a 30-30-30 reset so I was good to go.
I went to administration/firmware upgrade. I browsed the dd-wr-goo.v24_micro_generic-2.bin and selected it. I hit the (Upgrade) button and let er rip. I watched the moving bar and got the "Upgrade Successful" message. I had to go back and log back onto 192.168.1.1. Same "root" and "admin" after this upgrade. Same power cycle and same 30-30-30 reset. This time I put a good username and password on the router. I was almost there.
Now the dd-wr-goo release 2 software was on the router.

My buddy sent me his startup script so I used that as the base.

Here is the model startup script.


#!/bin/sh
server_timeout=12
server_retries=0
receiver_protocol=5
ignore_caid=1
server_0="user:[email protected]:12345/123456789012345678901234"

. /bin/make_inis

xx-client-broadcom &

Mine has 2 servers, server_0 and server_1 but you see the model and so its easy to make a little change to get your own info in there.
I went into administration / commands. I copied the script into the rectangular box and hit (Save Startup). Wallah! It was good to go. You can even edit the startup script in the router all you want but you have to reboot the router to get the new script to be used.
Mine ran right away. Total time I spent was like 30 minutes.

I am reporting this here because I was expecting my friend to do some very complicated stuff to get this to go for me. Instead he made me do this all myself so I could see how easy it was. I'm glad he did. It was real easy. Now you all know how easy it is. If I can do it, you sure can.

P.S. It has run 2 full days on my NF HD without even the smallest glitch. Only a crappy Thursday ECM remains for me to see how well it handles that.

[my_cnx]

you say yours works for 2 days straight without a smallest glitch,but my works but i freezes ones a while but at same time when it freezes it stay that way til i change change,but also sometime when it froze long enough i have to reboot box or else i cant change channel.

what could be the problem.i m testing on HD channel mostly.but sd channel freezes but less.

thx

Lots of variables. The hardware you are running xx-client on. If it is wireless there may be packet loss, could try another frequency. The particular p$ your using may be having issues. Your Internet may be experiencing problems. Your network setup has some problems, like the same IP used on 2 different devices, you can get packet collisions. Faulty network cable......

It is hard to say for sure without more info.

what info do you need from me?

[goofather]

Like what kind of hardware you are running xx-client on....is it a wireless or wired hookup....what have you tried so far, like trying a different network cable....

i have a thread on my setup that a person asked me if i was using security enabled because he was having difficulty. i do not.
i was wondering if u do as i also have a friend that IS having problems.
thanks

Can you use this on multiple nfusion recievers with one router??

[AeonFlux]

Goo-man is working on the multiple receiver version as we live and breathe.

Just an FYI on your freezing problem. Mine was giving me all kinds of fits and starts same problem. I was running NOI and had tried everything I knew to do. Then this same buddy told me that my SK900v was at fault. I thought he was nuts but he is very smart so I bought a new one fo $30 and changed it out. OMG! Fixed it spot on. Never had another problem after that. I mean the old SK was even killing SD channels. The new one runs great. I would have never known this one! Worth a looksee. I confirmed it was the SK900v by just pulling the cables off of it and running SD only for a while. Box ran perfect on NOI. Then I bought the new SK900v. I would have never related the freezing to the SK900 but my buddy did and he was absolutely right. Try pulling the cables off it and run SD channels only. See if that fixes your freezing problems. Your mileage may vary.

So most of the original NFusion HD came with a SK200?? and this SK900v module is just a "plug in upgrade"...cause I,ve had freezing issues,, I'll give this a try !!! Thanks for the info!!

the nfusion HD never used the sk200 which is one of the worst 8psk modules around in my opinion, only the sk900 is compatible with the nfusion HD and pretty much plug'n play, very simple to install

[AeonFlux]

It was extremely easy to install the new SK900v.
Old one, pull the black and white flat cables. Squeeze the flat part to make it let loose the connector. You will see.
Then unscrew the nut from the F-connector and screw from the mounting bracket. Old SK now loose in your hand.
Put new one in. Tighten down the nut on the F-connector and screw in the bracket.
Reinstall the black and white flat cables.

Easy as that.

[haha11]

anyone got it working with north on nf hd?

[haha11]

just tested this more and this is working great on both north and south server at the same time....
also if you add another code to the script, you can make another nfusion work too....
i m running north and south on nf HD and with same router south only on NF phoenix
thx goofather for ur hard work...this totally killed NOI and other alternatives

[henpecked]

That is good news
You are the first that I've seen to have success
I've been trying both
Only luck with south
Good to hear that
You say you played some more with it..what did you for it to kick in

Yes it will work with other receivers connected too but don't be surprised to get freezing at times, it is more of a side effect rather than a feature. So I cannot guarantee how reliable it will be.....currently working on a more reliable solution for multiple receivers.

If the receivers are never or rarely on at the same time this is a non issue. Should work reliably.

means checked all connections are good and added more than one server info to that script..

thanks for clarifying...so far no freezing with about 3 servers....will report if i ll get any freezing so you can work on it :) :thumbsup:

I guess I should say that if your servers are returning CW's fast you may never see a freeze. xx-client will ignore the other receiver until the one it is processing is finished. If this processing takes a long time this will cause a freeze on the receiver that was waiting for it's turn.

But please keep me informed. I'd much rather have it the way it is now and just make xx-client work more efficiently so the 2nd receiver doesn't freeze. The option I am currently exploring is where a program routes the requests to different xx-clients that are running on different ports. So a unique xx-client is run for every receiver that is making requests.

hopefully u get that working...

i tested changing chs from north to south few times and on another receiver i didn't see any hick up yet...i guess it will alot when ECM comes..

[henpecked]

Goofather , you are the man
You've got the patience of a Saint
This is the cat's meow
You have to be rewarded...your time is too valuable to give away for nothing
Very well done

[rambos420]

All i can say is ur the man thank you for the hard work and dedication for these great stbs to be brought back with out using the dreadful N.O.I thank you again

[dishuser]

amazing?
the dreadful noi?
and if it weren't for noi then what?
ungrateful is what you are
free loading leech actually
nothing against goo for his work but this guy would slam you too if someone could do better

[goofather]

All I can say is I don't know. I used NOI for about 2 or 3 hours before I started implementing the nfusion protocol in xx-client. Actually, I assumed it did a nice job, which is why I haven't rushed to port the nfusion protocol to Windows.

Honestly I wouldn't be too hard on NOI. If there are issues with it they can easily be blamed on Windows. Windows isn't exactly a dream to work with when it comes to networking. Too error prone.....

[rambos420]

ouch painful haha say what u want i dont care. Yeah the dreadfull noi have to leave pc running all the time constant disconects. im giving goo credit for the project and you had no reason to put ur 2 cents in

[rambos420]

noi does do the job well just saying that not having to run the client on pc is key for me and thats all not a big deal

[dishuser]

ouch painful haha say what u want i dont care. Yeah the dreadfull noi have to leave pc running all the time constant disconects. im giving goo credit for the project and you had no reason to put ur 2 cents in
sure I do
you put yours in and I put mine in
freeloader

[haha11]

@goofather you were right...i have experienced some freezing on both receivers now...hope u get that sorted out in little time.

[goofather]

@goofather you were right...i have experienced some freezing on both receivers now...hope u get that sorted out in little time.

Almost, I have a tester that has my solution working on 2 receivers but not perfect yet....I will get it....getting close ;)

[ChillyWilly]

Just wanted to say this client beats everything else. And I've used them all, from noi and other pc clients, to the Brian (pay) bins and the hacked Brian bins, and Boris............
Way to go Goofather

[henpecked]

It's got nothing to do with putting down NOI
NOI had got their praise...Brian got his praise...this is the next step in evolution
I'm old enough to have watched black and white TV
When colour came, we moved on
You've also seen lots in this game...give credit, where cedit is due


amazing?
the dreadful noi?
and if it weren't for noi then what?
ungrateful is what you are
free loading leech actually
nothing against goo for his work but this guy would slam you too if someone could do better

[henpecked]

BTW, I told goo in pm that I don't need goo
I gave this a shot because I came up from the ranks of testing since mid 80's
I got real tired of testing..just wanna watch Tv
This project was interesting enough to spend time on..
I got it running with goo's help
...this is a great piece of work
I earned my stripes, and Ill say it ..plain and simple...it's good to see
that some still have the knowledge and enthusiasm to carry on
There's receivers out there running that are self contained...dreambox 500 is one
BUT, it's not user friendly...have to do some serious learning ...Sonicview is another..
It is a big difference when you're not tethered to your computer
Now that I got it running...I'll go back to watching tv

As for freeloader....I will repeat...Goo deserves to get donations for this work
That is up to goo how he handles it

I think Goo just wants a thankyou, but if want to pay someone, look up Brian....................

[henpecked]

I gave to Brian already...
I tried his 6.4

[Osteele]

For some reason, I cannot get this to work with my nFusion Phoenix. I too am using a Linksys WRT54G2 v1

[AeonFlux]

That is a really good candidate router. It has plenty of memory.
1st question is did you revert your Phoenix back to an original bin (before NOI bin)? My Phoenix works great on the original 154.2 NFUSION bin, not the 154.2(255) bin. Maybe start there.
Then look at the WRT54G. 1st issue is that the NFusion needs to be connected to it via a hard wired cable. The NF MUST have the router's IP set as its gateway. Then the router must have internet access. Couple ways to test that but the easiest is to connect a cable from one of the WRT LAN ports to a laptop and see does it get out to the internet.
Another way to test it is to give the router a command like this: echo $(ping google.com) and see if it can ping Google. If it can't then you do not have internet access.
These suggestions should get you started in figuring out why it doesn't work.

[velocity9421]

so does the dd-wr-goo.v24_micro_generic-2 work for the nfusion nova/solaris/phoenix ?

[AeonFlux]

Yes, works for all these boxes. Like I said above though, most folks already have a modified 255 bin specially made for NOI. You really need to load the real final NF bins to make this fly. Mine ran right out of the box. I had a WRT54G v2. I get the feeling you are thinking about doing this so I tell you real simple... 1st you need to goto the dd-wrt site (google it). Definitely read this:

http://dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/Linksys_WRT54G_v1.0_%26_1.1
Please follow these instructions to put a standard version of dd-wrt on your router. Upgrade it to a mini version of v24. This is all well documented and very easy to follow.
After you have a standard dd-wrt on your router then it is safe to load the dd-wr-goo.v24_micro_generic-2.bin BUT before you do that, you need to do another reset per the instruction page above. DO NOT OMIT THIS STEP.
Now use the web guy to load dd-wr-goo.v24_micro_generic-2.bin.
After it loads and you get a success message, go have a beer. Wait at least 5 minutes before you do anything.
Waiting done, browse http://192.168.1.1 and you should see the dd-wrt setup screen.
Power the router off. Wait one minute. Power the router up.
Do a 30-30-30 reset on the router. (If you don't know what this is you need to read the Peacock Thread @ dd-wrt site).
The router will come up and stabilize. Browse http://192.168.1.1 and you should see the dd-wrt change password screen. Change the username and password.
------------ Wallah! ------------- New software loaded
Now you need a startup script. Look at the pdf file you got with the dd-wr-goo2 bin file. It will give you everything you need to complete the job. Its real easy. Even I can do it.

you can use the nfusion SD modified bin 154.2 (255.255.255) without problem on either the nova/solaris or phoenix, works great with the micro goo bin, I have set up several for friends and used the modified bin on all, if you have the modified nfusion bin no need to load another version

[AeonFlux]

Please accept my sincere apology for other site reference. I worked in another tab and never noticed that I was in their site and not this one. It was not intentional.

That being said, op is right. Old NF files are not to be found here! Only old original files are in the HD section. Is there a reason for that? Any reason I should not re-post the old original file?

As I do not see a post listing a reason for me not to post that file or mod telling me not to, I will do so in the common files area as it applies to all nova, solaris and phoenix.

[willydilly]

No intention of hijack here, since this is a related question.

When editing the script and putting in the DES key, does it need to have colons separating the pairs of numbers or no?

(ie. 61:03....etc.)

NP - all of our files (and we hosted more than most sites) were lost when we purged satfix in order to protect our members . We tried to reinstall as many files as possible . At the time , for obvious reasons, NF was far down on our list of priorities - thus missing files for certain recivers (especially the older ones) .
If you feel that any files that are not posted would be beneficial to our members , and you have access to them, by all means post them in the appropriate files subforums :thumbsup:

[AeonFlux]

DES key is 28 straight hex digits. No colons.
