Does anyone know where I can buy a WL-500GX (WL-500G Deluxe) in the USA?

The usual places I check don't seem to have any.

Thank you!

The only USA vendor that I have found (through google) is newegg. That's where I got my WL-500g and a number of other items. But for the last few months, though they still list the WL-500gx, they label it "out of stock".

I think I will order one just to see if the web listing is correct.

If you have tried other search engines I hope you will share the results.

Best wishes.


OK, I tried to order it & they offered me only "Auto Notify" which presumably means they will send me an email if/when it becomes available "First Come First Served." I'm beginning to suspect that Asus has stopped making these jewels, or at least has stopped shipping them to the USA.

OK#2: I did another search & found two more vendors that claim to have a gx in stock. I will not identify either of them because #1 has a reputation for charging for things they don't have in stock and #2 gives no info about where it is or what its real name is. I won't risk my money with either of them.

Yesterday (17Nov05) Newegg sent me an email saying they now have the Deluxe in stock. Today I ordered one---US$105 delivered by 3-day Fed Ex. It should arrive just before Thanksgiving, which is indeed appropriate.

It arrived on 23Nov05, the day before Thanksgiving, and is running excellently with Oleg's firmware.

Many, MANY thanks, Oleg!
