I just switched from a wl500g to wl500g.Premium and flashed Oleg's firmware right away.
I find that it's very hard to maintain a wireless connection to the device. I had a similar situation with the wl500g, but while it was bad back then, it's a CATASTROPHY now. I figured out that channel 5 works best (two networks on channel 11 in the area might interfere), but even on that channel, and with the router right under or on my desk (distance 0,5-1m to the client), the wireless connection is so bad I can't really use it.
the connection is bad all the time (so it's probably not due to a microwave oven running, or somebody using his cordless phone).
Anybody else experience worse connection quality with the wl500gP compared to the old wl500g? could the device itself be broken somehow? it's brand-new, straight out of the box...
