Did anybody try it yet? How is it compared to Oleg's FW?

I've found this firmware extremely buggy...I just finished setting up the shares of my external HDD, when suddenly the router becomes unresponsive. I hard-rebooted, and I got a "Thank you for buying this router" thing message, with settings completely erased. Had to do everything by hand!

Several times I find that 500w just simply shuts off the web interface, even thought services continue operational - another mystery to me!

Anyone shares the same problems?

for me, 1.9.8.5 is working smoothly. except....

problems with the Wireless encryption. just can't seem to work, with WPA-PSK encryption set-up, when my laptop tries to connect, it keeps receiving some password authentication error (i am 100% sure i typed the same correct password on both sides).

lets hope oleg firmware will have full stable support for wl-500w soon! =D
