My wl500g acts as a router WAN connected to cable modem, 1st port connected to a PC, and I use wireless notebook.
The problem:
Max throughput I have while copying files from notebook to the PC (so Notebook <--> wl500g <--> PC) is ~25 Mbps.
I place notebook next to the router.
PC ethernet card is configured to 100Mbps.
Why cannot it reach the maximum of 54 Mbps?
:(
Slow router?
Did anybody test the speed of such connection?
54Mbs is a theoretical number. 25Mbs sustained throughput is pretty good for a home router (even according to Asus). You won't find a consumer priced router which has substantially better wireless performance.

The D-link DI624 reaches > 4-5 Mbyte/s easily... (over a wireless link...)
I have one, and It's much faster than the WL500g...
but doesn't offer as many "extras" as the asus...
Ok, you are right. The D-Link is much faster, but then it is only one of a few who's faster. Does your D-Link reboot often as well?

I have DI-624 rev. C (US version).
I've never noticed a reboot in the router.
(but I only turn it on when I need to use it...)
I use the WL500G in client mode, connected to the WAN port of the D-link, which acts as the main router.

Looks like you've atheros chipset, which is well known as "Bad neighbor" - it's utilizing two 54Mbps connections, that's why it's faster. Read this - http://www.54g.org/pdf/TollyWP204120BroadcomCorpHiSpeedWirelessLANs-Aug04-printresA.pdf
For 54Mbps (signalling rate which includes 802.11 overhead) you could get up-to 27-29 Mbps being fully standard compliant, and up to 33-35 Mbps with afterburner (still using one 54MBps channel).
