Re: Very bad browsing experience after firmware update!!!
 

I did some testing with my Zyxel 660HW ADSL/WLAN router (latest firmware) and loading frontpage of uk.youtube.com

wlan_sleep_timeout

Works: 1000, 500, 400

Won't work (just doens't load page): 200 and 300

Re: Very bad browsing experience after firmware update!!!
 

Works flawless with my Linksys WRT54GL too.

I use the Tomato firmware on my Linksys, and digging into the settings, I noticed that it is indeed possible to fiddle with the PSM mode and thus make it incompatible with the N800.

People with broken routers may try to find out if they can change some settings.

Hey guys,

Can anyone explain me how to set this wlan sleep time? I found out I need xterm but also read something about wlancond from osso. I really searched for like an hour or so but I can't figure out how to set it. I hope someone is so kind to explain to me how to do it and what I need and where to get it.

Thanks!

On my router "La Fonera" (www.fon.com) 400 doesn't work. 500 does.

Thanks :) I just added some background info and links to this bug and the mailing list discussion.

Just open xterm and paste this command at the prompt (all on one line)

Replace the value '200' with something bigger that works for you eg. '400' or '500'. The old 3.2007.10-7 default was '1000' (or 1000ms, 1 second), the 4.2007.26-8 default is probably somewhere around '200'.

Smaller values should result in improved battery lifetime as the WiFi radio will timeout (switch off) more quickly, but have it too low and you will experience communication problems between your N800 and access point.

Thanks Milhouse! Is there a way to check the current setting?

Re: Very bad browsing experience after firmware update!!!
 

should return the current setting.

Unfortunately it's not possible to determine the Nokia default setting as it's not set - I think the WLAN will check if there is a value set and if not it then defaults to a hard coded value. It would be necessary to view the WLAN source code to check the default value.

If you want to revert to the Nokia default value, you need to unset any value you have set with the following command:

Thanks Milhouse, it works great. ;)
