View Full Version : wl500gx release - End of november 2004[Holland]
I am very interested in buying a wl500gx router.
The wl500g seems to be a very good product, but I think usb 2.0 will be a real imrpovement in order to share an hard drive on lan.
I have already read all the posts which told about the wl500gx (specs ...) on the forum, but I do not find any date of release.
Is there anyone who have an idea of the wait ?
one week :)
one month :(
one year :eek:
thanks

there is no known release date
it should have been out by now as it has already been anounced by asus at their retailer books
I still haven't received any comment on this from Asus.
I got an official answer from an ASUS Customer Representative on another forum whom I asked about the WL-500gx:
Dear Flynn,
Thank you for your message. Regarding to your message, the WL-500GX will be announced to the market by next month. So, you can check it out with ASUS at Germany branch office by next month and then you will get more information on that. Thank you.
I will get this one, too, and then will probably become a more active member here. :)

I've got the WL-500g Deluxe in Hongkong listed price at HK$890 (~ US$114).
It is running firmware 1.8.2.0. Just let me know any other information you wanna know :cool:
Hi!
Try running
cat /proc/meminfo
cat /proc/cpuinfo
dmesg
cat /proc/kmsg
from the hidden admin page.
Also, do you've firmware sources on the CD? if so, which version does it have?

114 dollar is not much.. like 87 euros
Hi Oleg,
The firmware on CD is 1.8.1.9 only (if \GPL\GPL_1.8.1.9.tar.gz is the firmware) but on the firmware update page, it shows 1.8.2.0 (I suppose this is the running firmware version ?!)

ok, if you've telnet, you probably has full busybox there - type

Also, please type
ifconfig
Well, the boxset is light (may be less than 1 kg?) but shipping products with encryption technology may have some concern?
But I feel wired that the adaptor I got is printed for Europe and English menu, not Asia/Taiwan style. May be it is shipping from Holland? :confused:

Bus 1, device 3, function 0: Broadcom BCM4306 802.11b/g Wireless LAN Controller"
So, usb2.0 is based on the VIA chip, built-in usb1.1 controller is not used anymore as seems.
RAM is 16 MBytes only :(
FLASH size could be determined from dmesg output.
One ethernet controller with VLANs enabled, so it's possible to do designate up to 4 separate LAN segments.
Regards,
Oleg.
whao, seems you've wired connection to the router - can you please try running this command to measure maximum ethernet speed?
epi_ttcp -t -s -u -v 192.168.1.2
Replace 192.168.1.2 with IP address of your PC.

well, dmesg output is filled by debug output from usb...
Why, they ASUS still can't turn it off???
Well, you can write flash contents to your flash by typing
cat /dev/mtdblock/1 > /tmp/harddisk/firmware
cat /dev/mtdblock/0 > /tmp/harddisk/bootloader
And then just read sizes for both files...
Have you measured upload/download speed from usb drive using ftp?
Oleg, I've changed the router default IP (192.168.1.1 is default but fake in previous output, wish it don't confuse you):
Ok, no problems. Is 192.168.xxx.xxx is your PC address? If so, then ethernet performance is very poor, my wl500g output, then flooding adsl modem:

I am using a slow 64MB usb finger

Um... is it slow?!

Ok, no problems. Is 192.168.xxx.xxx is your PC address? If so, then ethernet performance is very poor, my wl500g output, then flooding adsl modem...
Yup, 192.168.xxx.xxx is my PC but which part shows mine is slow? BTW, there's an option to turn on Afterburner but it is now off as default.

Looks like write speed. Damn slow. Tried reading?

Ok, 4MB as seems... :(

your wl500gx gives 3.2MB/sec as maximum... look like wl500gx problem unless you've buggy/slow card in your PC or tested via wireless.

As I'm using a slow USB drive, it is not a surprise that the FTP speed is slow. However, if the ethernet is slow as you point out, it would be strange. But I don't see much difference between your epi_ttcp output and mine.
Okay, and here the read (ftp download)
ftp: 9264929 bytes received in 21.30Seconds 435.03Kbytes/sec.
Oops, I am using a Gigabits Ethernet but the connection is using WinXP bridge. The Wireless part is off for health :D . May be I'll elminate the bridging and test again tomorrow.

Right, but my wl500g has 2.5x slower CPU and performs faster. Why? I've expected about 2.5x faster ethernet speed from wl500gx, but no luck...
Yes, wl500gx is a good box (better than wl500g), but the performance is really unsatisfying.

@ WHAO
are you able AND willing to make pictures of the WL500g Deluxe ?
especially internal ?
when you have huge pics send them to forum@chupa.nl please (max 7Megabyte attachment per mail)
thanks in advance!
Okay, no bridge result but seems the same :( . And I've tried on the other 2 machines which are only having 10Mb ethernet which, of course, even slower to 3.0MB/sec.

Hi Antiloop, here the photos and I'll see how i could get the internal pics without voiding the warranty....

tx!
i don't think you can get the internal ones without voiding warranty
Navraag bij de Nederlandse distributeur
De officiële melding van de distributeur:
Het verhaal kan kloppen, maar de passende USB-sticks zijn nog niet klaar en Asus wil deze graag samen op de markt brengen.
Hier de info, die ik van Asus krijg: - WL-500gx & WL-100gx will be available in Jan 2005.
I know this topic is about Holland, but forum policy requires posts in English, please stick to this policy...
WL-500gx & WL-100gx will be available in Jan 2005.
The code name seems to be WL500GD as printed on the box:
ASUS
WL500GD
FCC ID: MSQWL500GD
May be gx is reserved for an even faster model :D

Mja, let's hope so, i probably have to wait 'till 2005.
Based on the speed results i would say it has the same CPU as the WL-500g
Is this possible? (Is than "intermediate" with slow CPU buth with USB2.0?)

No, cpu is different and faster. Chip should be labeled as BCM5365P.
Also, USB 2.0 appears to be Via VT6202 - up to 4 ports.
