Hi, Just got a WL-500g set up on our home network. Everything works fine except that the clients are unable to get DNS info from the wl-500g. As far as I understand just letting the clients get the DNS ip from the server automatically should work. (default the same as the router itself, 192.168.1.1). However this doesn't work, and I have to manually add the ipå adress of the real DNS server outside my LAN. Looking in the wl-500g log I find that it has found up to the DNS server ip. The problem is present both for clients using DHCP and static IPs. I have not upgraded my firmware, it is 1.8.1.9. So what's wrong? Regards, Ole Jacob
You could always try to upgrade to the latest firmware (recommended).
What client OS do you use? Windows?

Upgrade your router to the newest FW 1.9.5.0 - it should fix the problem... I've no problem with getting DNS-info from my ISP through WL-500g

I've upgraded to 1.9.2.7 and 1.9.5.0, but it doesn't make any difference.
They way this should work is like this, right:
On the computers connected to the wl500g (clients) I put 192.168.1.1 as IP address for DNS1. The clients will then ask the wl500g for DNS lookup whenever needed. The wl500g will forward the query to the real DNS server, this will answer and the wl500g will forward the reply to the client. The only way I can get it working is to insert the real DNS server address in the network config on the clients.
I can see that the wl500g finds the ip address of the DNS1 and DNS2 (under log).

i had the same problem and i found a solution
you can add the server line to /etc/dnsmasq.conf
user=nobody
interface=br0
server=195.xx.xx.xx
and then restart the dnsmasq with
#killall dnsmasq
#/usr/sbin/dnsmasq
and it works :D
you can add the router ip as dns server on the clients

Can I do this with firmware 1.9.2.7 or do I need one of the unofficial firmwares with ssh support? How do I do this without ssh?

You can't do this with official firmwares, but,probably, there is an easer way to do the same thing via WEB-interface.
