This are quite enough mirrorsOriginally Posted by Booster
Just use some download manager like Flashget, Jetget, wget, or something else which can restart broken transfers. I prefer Flashget, you can download simultanous from differend mirrors to speed up. Same will do wget under linux.

Of course I could use a download manager, but when it takes an hour to download 5.5 megs of data, I'd look for more mirrors.
After you tried the new Bios out, can someone tell me how much shortened the range is?Originally Posted by Antiloop
Much more interesting is to see why it's shorter?
I be waiting to test this release, because the range is important to me.
in this firmware work WPA on WDS ? Anybody testing?
Tried, but poor results. Did use 1.8.1.7-3 with much better results. BTW i'm using WPA-PSK and AES or AES/TKIP and not WPA.Originally Posted by Viper_Rus
Would be nice if they updated the user manual too once in a while.
I don't understand chinese to well
And I'd like to know how to use all those new options like QoS etc
howto use Bandwidth Management is included in the firmware zip fileOriginally Posted by kraai
the exact same file has been placed here earlier already..

find here some reference on WPA2, currently I'm a bit confused... as it looks like WPA with AES as encryption is WPA2.. !?

Well, checked 1.9.2.6 sources. WPA2 is really broken at the moment, so I'm expect, that it probably will not work with wds. 1.9.2.6-1 will have WPA2 stuff disabled, until ASUS release stable firmware. Look like they've started fixing it in the 1.9.2.7.
WPA uses TKIP as it's standard encryption, with AES being optional. WPA2 uses AES as standard encryption. But there are more differences between WPA and WPA2. WPA2 tries to address some flaws in WPA. Have a look at www.tinypeap.com for information about WPA.Originally Posted by Antiloop
The latest drivers from intel for their centrino 2200BG chip have support for WPA and WPA2. One can choose between WPA - Personal (or enterprise) and WPA2 - Personal (or enterprise). How do i know that WPA2 is functioning on a WL-500g?

Status showed connected to xxx but ping to routing host (1st WL-500G, with 1.9.2.7 firmware) gets no reply and no internet functions what-so-ever. Flash the client (the 2nd WL-500G) back to 1.8.2.4 everything works again. Tried a couple of times for both WDS and non-WDS modes, 1.9.2.7 never works but 1.8.2.4 always works (without even changing the settings).
Also Bandwidth Management still does not work. Has anybody managed to get it working?
The WDS funktion works with 1.9.2.7, and very good too.
Using WPA-PSK with TKIP on both my Asus.
