Hi,
Im in real trouble, because after storm my WAN port died. I would like to use LAN1 as WAN, but Im not able to change it. Is there any good soul, that will give me help?
I found something at russian forum, but Im unable to translate it :(
Thanks Jakoob
I will answer my self :D
according to this: http://wl500g.info/showthread.php?t=13632
I use :
nvram set boardflags=0x110
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"
nvram commit
reboot
and its done!!!! I must say that Oleg is GOD and really don't understand, why he is not working instead of the whole Asus development team .....
Good find!Quote:

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;)Quote:

And the web packages I'm using now would run way too slow on a WL-500W;)
Guess what? exactly the same problem.:pQuote:

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?...ge=1&count=153, but at first I will try to get refund and buy normal computer...
