Asus WL500G + Speedtouch 570

[ilovetechno]

I have a speedtouch 570 for my internet connection.

This is a wireless modem/ap

Is it possible to connect the WL500G to the Speedtouch? So I can internet trough the UTP ports on my WL500G.

I have tried bridging (WDS, Hybrid).. But with no results..

Next logical step was to try connect to the speedtouch trought client mode.

I have patched the firmware with Oleg CR3 and tried the following:
Added experimental client mode support (thanks to Technik for testing) - see Wireless page for current values. Please note what these stuff are only partially tested. In the client mode physical WAN port and WLAN roles are exchanged (i.e. WAN port becomes either LAN or DMZ depending on your settings). Please also note, what currently you can't change the operation mode using web interface! Instead you should change it using nvram commands:
Code:
# turn on sta mode (0 = ap, 1 = sta, 2 = wet)
nvram set 13_x_ClientMode=1
# If you need IBSS (Ad-hoc) mode add this also (0 = bss, 1 = ibss)
nvram set 13_x_IBSS=1 (Didn't us this line / no Ad-hoc)
# commit settings
nvram commit
# reboot
reboot

But stil i cant connect to mijn acces point? Must the SSID be the same?

After that I tried the following with telnet: wl join 'SSID'

And then mij Wl500G connects. But I cant ping my speedtouch and when i restart the router the setting is gone..

Who can help me further. :confused:

Yes you have to set SSID of the router properly to get a connection in the Client mode. It may take a while especially if the signal level is low.
Check the gateway settings on your PC. It must be the IP address of your router. And the IP range of your LAN may not be the same as at WLAN side ( = WAN in Client mode). Try to find and read some info about routing. It must work if you set up the IP addresses properly. :)
BTW some devices (including ASUS WL-500b/g router) allows to disable the replies to PING...
