to correct you in the differences the WL500g also has a LPT port, the WL500g Deluxe (WL500gx was it's codename only) has not.Quote:

Are these slow speeds hardware related (eg, the proc/usb controller cannot go any faster), or are these problems software related?
See my web pages at http://www.rwhitby.net/wrt54gs/serial.html and http://www.rwhitby.net/nslu2/serial.html for details of how to build level converters for these types on interfaces. Those pages include details of ready-made kits that you can buy, so the only thing you will need to do is wire up some connectors to J5.Quote:

The second set of headers: J1 (I think, hey, I can't count either ;) ) look to be standard USB port headers. The only thing is that they do not have a +5v supply for the usb connectors. For that we might be able to draw the voltage from the +5v supply on the built in USB ports.

What, for interesting things like running Zoneminder http://www.zoneminder.com/ and using one of the GPIOs as an alarm trigger input :DQuote:

Thanks man, you guys really know something about this stuff!! ;)
-----------------
How do you measure the throughput directly on the device?
I got very different results when testing the throughput from the harddisk with different firmware.
========
With 1.8.2.1 firmware:
Upload (write) : about 450 kB/s
Download (read) : about 780 kB/s
Speeds were very stable, did not fluctuate more then 20kB/s.
========
With 1.9.3.6 BETA firmware:
Upload (write) : about 985 kB/s
Download (read) : about 985kB/s
With the newer firmware the speeds were just as stable. But the weird thing here that the speeds are exactly the same, looks like something is limiting the bandwidth. The external case with hdd is USB2.0 and does about 20mb/s when connected to a normal pc. It looks like the connection with the router is just usb1.1 or something :confused:

Any news from the DVB front?Quote:
I've also tried attaching USB2.0 DVB receiver, but I spotted some ehci BUG(ehci_mem:129), so I'm going to investigate it more.
I have been thinking about doing something similar, but with a hardware mpeg encoder. Would it work on a wl500g deluxe? And what about a plain wl500g?
regarding Q2:Quote:
