Even with the latest 1.9.2.7-4 firmware, using samba to access the USB HD connected to the WL500g is very slow, it takes a few seconds in order for its folders to show up, and then it take another few seconds if I want to go into sub folders.
Anyone experience the same?
Many thanks for your help.

The whole network is on Windows XP, using a Linus format may not be the best idea, any other suggestion? :cool:

well your whole network doesn't care as samba is serving not fat32/ext3
Try turning off "WebClient" service on all XP machines and then check if you have faster access.

This may well be a "Master Browser" issue. For more info google "master browser" or "domain master" together with "Samba and XP" or check out http://www.chicagotech.net/browser.htm and http://www.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-HOWTO-Collection/NetworkBrowsing.html for some background on this issue.
If you don't want to read all this stuff you may also just try checking the following registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Servic es\Browser\Parameters IsDomainMaster=TRUE
and change this setting to FALSE and reboot.
In addition you may need check your Samba config settings
