Hi,

okay thank @all

1. Problem DHCP is now working the problem is when i ativate WPA,TKIP then it bekomes no Adress from DHCP with WEB 128 is works fine.

2. Arcor works now, i think the factory restore at the first time ( before Update to 1.8) works not right after i make the factory reset after flashing is it working.

Know one from you what is the problem with WPA,TKIP and DHCP is ther a conection betwen then ?

This is not a DHCP problem. Your client was not authenticated by wl500g due to WPA & TKIP, that's why no communication is ever possible.

My Sweex 11 Mbit PCI card connects only if i use WPA-PSK with TKIP. The combination of WPA-PSK and AES did work in the past (fw 1.6.x.x)

I tried the combinations of the WL-500G (fw 1.8.1.7-2a) and an Centrino with Intel 2200BG v8.1.0.28 driver.

The WL-500G is in AP mode with WPA-PSK/TKIP+AES only.
The intel with WPA-PSK/TKIP cannot connect
The intel with WPA-PSK/AES can connect

The WL-500G is in AP mode with WPA-PSK/TKIP only.
The intel with WPA-PSK/TKIP can connect

The WL-500G is in AP mode with WPA-PSK/AES only.
The intel with WPA-PSK/AES can connect

- 1.8.1.7 : upload : 250 K/s Downlaod : 470 K/s
- 1.8.1.7-2a : upload : 50 K/s Download : 600 K/s

So the slow speed was only at upload. sorry about that. But it's not much if you compare it with the other firmwares. And why is the upload slower than download?

Problem seems to be identified - ASUS has modified stupid-ftpd to make writes synchronous, which is causing slowdowns. Fixed.

Oleg, you know the reason for this problem? Can it be fixed?

There are number of reasons - wrong key, bad or old driver, bad settings on your windows box.
Just read your other post. Looks like Intel driver does not support AES + TKIP at the same time.

I was under the impression, that ASUS offered us with TKIP+AES the possibility for multiple stations to connect with WPA-PSK authentication concurrently no matter if they have TKIP- (All) or AES- (many) encryption.
The station (or card) driver (for example intel) should only support one encryption method (TKIP or AES) at a time.
The ASUS gives us the possibility to access the WL-500G with AES or TKIP concurrently and it should not matter, as the WL-500G makes the choice with which method will be connected.
I think the ASUS can't make the right decision when TKIP+AES is choosen, between AES and TKIP when a station has TKIP.
When using AES on the station (= card) side it works.

WLAN disconnect problem:

Using 1.8.1.7-2a, with WPA-PSK/TKIP

Had Virtual Server enabled. This made WLAN disconnect at about 10-20 secs, consistently, on my laptop (with wl-100g). When I disabled Virtual Server, everything OK.
