nvram set vlan0ports="1 2 3 5*"
nvram set vlan1ports="0 5"
nvram set vlan0hwname=et0
nvram set vlan1hwname=et0
nvram set wan_ifnames=vlan1
nvram set wan_ifname=vlan1
nvram set lan_ifnames="vlan0 eth2"

Good find!
and to answer the second question: companies like asus don't have the time nor money to do large things like oleg did.
Further developed firmware can be found here: http://code.google.com/p/wl500g/ if you didn't knew that yet:)

Yeah I found it, when I was searching for the solution about WAN. Funny is that with original asus firm(a)ware Im to able to run 802.11n, but with the WL-500W firmware 1.9.2.7-d it started more less itself.

Anyway my router seems a bit slow, what about the RT-N16 is it better or just bit faster than WL-500W ?

To Asus: I've bought Asus Air (the HD streamer) and after the weeks of patience I'm going to scream very loud in the shop. I can't even play 1080p on lan and the Wi-Fi is terrible at whatever resolution. Can you make some firmware too ? :D

a bit faster? no, it's quite a lot faster;)
With FTP you could reach speeds of over 10MB/s for example.
And the web packages I'm using now would run way too slow on a WL-500W;)

Guess what? exactly the same problem.:p
The remote is very irresponsive as well when on WiFi...
So I used my old WL-500W as wifi ethernet bridge (like a switch, but it's connected via wifi to my rt-n16).
And that sort of solved the problems, tho it's not always fast enough for 1080P streaming, 720P always works great tho:)

But streaming on LAN? are you streaming from your WL-500W? since it isn't fast enough for that...
I use twonky media server usually, which is a lot faster than samba

Good to hear, that RT-N16 is fast, because I was a bit scared. The only trouble for the future is the absence of 5 GHz band, as in here the Wi-Fi is really crowded.

WL-500W plays role of router only, for my entire home network I use gbit switch TL-SG3109.

For the Asus O!Play I feel very angry, because all tests seemed very good, but now I think, that those testers just wrote some nice letters about it without even unpacking it.

It seems there is some alternative firmware http://vip.asus.com/forum/view.aspx?SLanguage=en-us&id=20100626050833312&board_id=19&model=O!Play%20HDP-R1&page=1&count=153, but at first I will try to get refund and buy normal computer...
