    Use wl500g-clean-nvram.trx to reset settings.
    wl500g-recover would not work on deluxe

    hi oleg thanks for the quick reply ;-)
    at the moment I have DD-WRT on my WL-500gx but I want to change to your firmware due to easyer SMB/USB support. What would be the best way to change from DD-WRT FW to your FW?

    I've no idea. Never used DD-WRT.

    The thing which should work for sure is flashing in the restoration mode.

    it works...
    and here is what I have done:

    1. Full reset
    2. renamed original ASUS 1.9.5.0 Firmware file from .trx to .bin
    3. flashed ASUS 1.9.5.0 via WEB interface of DD-WRT
    4. Full reset
    5. Flashed latest Oleg FW via WEB interface of original FW
    6. Full reset
    7. done -> works great

    Question Not dead but nearly

    Hi,

    Everything seems fine with my de luxe, green lights and so on BUT i cannot ping it or connect it either by wifi or wired lan.

    The detection utility from asus see nothing
    The firmware restoration utility seems to work but results in nothing.

    The firmware is upload, the asus reboot and still I cannot connect to it either in dhcp mode or in fixed ip mode.

    Any ideas ?

    Dead router after storm?

    Hi,

    I cannot ping my WL-500g Deluxe. Power LED doesn't light, but the others LEDs do when cable is connected, adapter seems to be OK (voltage is 5V/3V on measure PBC points). Everything was OK till last week night storm.

    I have tried pin10 trick and reset (20 seconds), but power LED has not light up.

    Is there any electric scheme of board or testing (repair) manual?

    Thanks for any response

    Question Hi guys Dead WL-500G ?

    I cant believe and accept that my WL-500G is dead. I installed for fun the ddwrt firmware.. and it actually worked... (from that moment I should not have touched it anymore...but me so stupid wanted to try another version of ddwrt)..

    So situation now is when I pwr it on the pwr light goes on steady. I am not able to put the thing in recovery mode.

    wireless led not going on. When I connect utp cable to my pc it will light up the port that is connected... and when trying to put static ip adres.. I see the light reacting... but that is about it... cant ping it what so ever

    so now I want to try the pin 10 trick... but .....

    Most simple question is how to open the damn thing... (YES I guess I am a noob with opening stuff lol)

    Anybody have idea if its really nececarry to do the pin 10 trick or are there other possibiliities? or maybe I should give up?.

    I think my Wl500g is dead!

    -I've my computer with 192.168.1.2.
    -I can enter in the upgrade firmware mode (pressing reset while powering on), but got no answer for ping.
    -Even without pinging I can force the restore utility to start importing the wl500g-clear-nvram.trx, led lan1 blinks while progressing, but sudently it fail at 66%. Try the command tftp -i 192.168.1.1 put wl500g-clear-nvram.trx. Always ends with timeout
    -I've also tried the pin 10 trick....but w no sucess

    I've no access to the wl500g. The lan1(where i'm connected) stays fixed.

  11. #26
    1] As I know, there's no ping response
    2] try restore utility directly with latest firmware
