How do I use my 3G modem in the USB port

Sat Nov 07, 2009 13:32

by LarsM (Posted Sat Nov 07, 2009 13:32)

I try manual settings, but it does'nt work. Fonera asked me for pin (sim card) in umts dialog again and again, Fonera does'nt accept the input.
I reboot the Fonera ever when I change settings.
I reboot with factory settings, but the umts problem is same.

Accessing local network from Fonera 2.0N WLAN?

Sat Nov 07, 2009 12:37

by trab_78 (Posted Sat Nov 07, 2009 12:37)

Hi,

I'm considering buying a Fonera 2.0N. I have a question about the device. I already have a Fonera 1.0. It does a good job as AP, but one thing can't be done: it is not possible to connect to a device on my local (wired) network from the Fonera's WLAN. (I'm talking about the "private" WLAN here, not the public FONspot.) As I'm planning the Fonera 2.0N to be my main wireless router, being able to connect to devices on my local network is essential. Is this possible with the Fonera 2.0N?

Best regards,
Bart

Since you have a server connected to La Fonera, you will need to configure the netgear to forward the necessary ports to the La Fonera's WAN IP address (as seen from the netgear), and then configure La Fonera to forward those same ports to the server.

yeah, I understand it. I dont know though how to configure the netgear properly. I tried but with no success.
here there is a screenshot of the configuration page.

Fonera doesn't work

Good morning, my friend bought a fonera 2100 (-_-) and tried to modify firmware with these steps http://myfonblog.blogspot.com/2008/08/h ... d-wrt.html

Finally fonera don't work anymore. Wlan led is off and 192.168.10.1 is not disponible. Only 192.168.1.254 work, infact, I tried to reload fonera firmware with this procedure

Fonera back to work, 192.168.10.1 is accessible, firware is 0.7.1.r1, but after a restart (poweroff), it doesn't work anymore with the same problems that I said.

So, what can I do? My doubt is, what files I have to use to reload original firmware?

Thanks, zack!

Ps. Fonera was bought 2 weeks ago.

Get rid off "Click here to register your La Fonera+" ? How?

Sat Nov 07, 2009 11:43

by stz184 (Posted Sat Nov 07, 2009 11:43)

Hello!
I have already registered fonera+. The router started to break my wireless connection (I get disconnected, keep seeing the MyPlace & FON_AP spots, but I cant get connected to anyone of the both). So... I rebooted the fonera couple times, even used the reset button on the bottom. Now the fonera keeps telling me "Click here to register your La Fonera+" on the status page. But the fonera is already registered. What to do to get rid off this stupid message?

How does dropbear start ???

Sat Nov 07, 2009 03:25

by jabss (Posted Sat Nov 07, 2009 03:25)

Hello,

I'm trying to find how is dropbear called in the init sequence.

I can see it isn't in /etc/rc.d/S50dropbear

Code:

...
start() {
� � � � DEV=`uci get registered.fonreg.dev`
� � � � [ "$DEV" == "1" ] || exit 0
� � � � [ -f /etc/dropbear/dropbear_rsa_host_key -a \
� � � � � -f /etc/dropbear/dropbear_dss_host_key ] || keygen
}

According to this, I understand that if Developer mode is on, the script will exit.
So, my question is: where is it started ??? I Looked everywere and could find it

Thanks,
Jabss

invalid password connecting to samba share on v2.3.0.1 RC1

I am getting an invalid password error when attempting to connect to the samba share on my fonera 2.0g running firmware v2.3.0.1 RC1 .

The same user credentials work fine when connecting via FTP. Username is "fonero" and the password is the same one I use to log into the dashboard and the root user account via SSH.

Tested SMB clients include Mac OS X 10.6 and Windows Vista SP1.

Status: Waiting to retry...
Status: Connecting to 192.168.10.1:21...
Status: Connection established, waiting for welcome message...
Error: Connection timed out

What could be the problem?
FTP is opened on Fonera.
No firewall between Fonera and FTP Client.
I'm using Filezilla that worked well with Fonera 2.0g.

if you are trying to download something which nobody was offering anymore you can wait on Godot untill this one person that has it still shared connects to the internet while your mac is running

I have more success with Edonkey networks to get old content
others say rapidshare is better...

btw you could also enable upnp on your fonera2n so it opens up ports...
also the fonera 2N doesn't open up the ports on your internet modem

Hi giuseppeg88,

I appreciate your motivation to change FON behaviour toward the Foneros.
We older Foneros did the same some years ago - If you look to the board's archive you will discover:

Long list of feature proposals coming from the community.
Community developers waiting for pariticipation.
Ideas from the community to enhance the hotspot network quality and secirity.
Requesting FON contact to interact with the communities.
Hundreds of us even moved our La Foneras virtually into a prostest lake to achieve a change.

Under the line disillusions and frustrations were more than the improvements we could gain.
So please don't have an upbeat forecast for the future...

you can flash a "continental" fon image using http://flash.fonera.be on your Fonera
with this aliens will be using your public ip and not the special poboxing vpn service provided for UK residents
I'm not yet familiar if the Fonera 2.0g/n sold to the UK has this "poboxing vpn" as well

when registering on such "continental" fon you are not redirected to BTfon.com and thus you can select "bill"

DMZ is not the same as forwarding ports. You need to actually forward those ports.

I don't understand what it is with people. Every time I've asked folks to forward ports this month, they configured DMZ instead and then came back, bewildered.

Fonera 3.0w = free 700mhz spectrum for the EU

Charbax wrote:

Martin Varsavsky should join the campaign for it with EU politicians showing some 30€ working prototypes of the Fonera 3.0 routers, basically with built-in 700mhz Fem2cells and software functionality prototypes for unlicensed but not unregulated use of that spectrum. Basically, instead of the 700mhz Fem2cell speaking with the Telecom company's database for spectrum usage (deciding the emitting power intensity, frequency, user authentication and more) it would instead connect to a Governmentally controlled White Spaces database with all the rules of non-interference, the user authentication and more.

Dear Charbax,

as usual I appreciate your optimism and ideas like in the "Cheapest NAS ever (special Fonera 2.0 hard drive enclosure)" thread. What you say is certainly possible and extremely nice. But it's quite disconnected from reality. Currently I can find on Fon's page only 2.0n router for 79 EUR, more that twice 30. And it's based on hardware that exists for years and it probably consists of 95% rebranded hardware anyway (which got cheaper and cheaper with the years). Remember when the dumbest 802.11n router was 150+ EUR? Or when the cheapest PCMCIA 802.11b (yes, b) card was about the same? It'll be the same for any new hardware. And it will cost Fon much more than it could ever afford to develop hardware in a new band.
