Hello,
i was running my wl500gp with original firmware 1.9.7.5.
i found on asus a new firmware : http://dlsvr01.asus.com/pub/ASUS/wir...mware_2005.rar
upgrade is ok, the configuration is still here -> but now the wl500gp say no cable connected (no internet connection) and i can access throuth wan to my modem...
in the description firmware page the name changed to wl500gpv2, and it's impossible to back to 1.9.7.5 or oleg firmware.
the router is running by no connection to internet and acces to wan !?
what can i do to back to 1.9.7.5 ?
the asus utility firmware restoration say invalid ip, stop, and no conneciton is possible.
thanks
ben.

It's firmware for the upcoming V2 of the 500gP. Other hardware design so that's why it won't work.
Hi,
thanks, thats what i think when the router reboot and wan isn't working.
but the firmware upgrading still working...
i open the box and i'v 1.14 rev motherboard.
ben.
V1 (yours and mine) has Mini_PCI layout (wirelss card on mini PCI card in slot), the V2 has everything integrated on the mobo.
integrated mobo,
will oleg still work like normal?
Hello,
i upgrede my wl500gp up to wl500gpv2.
upgrade is ok,
but WAN port work like LAN
and LAN4 whork like WAN !![]()
all the functions test now ...
Does that mean the WL500gP v2 firmware also (partly) works on the WL500gP except that the WAN port doesn't function anymore?
Is it OK to upgrade the WL500gP v1 router with v2 firmware? What added functionalities does v2 firmware do over v1? (or is it only the hardware that changed --> integrated on router motherboard, but same features)
Maybe torrenting works on this piece of #%@^@#$ asus firmware
According to http://support.asus.com/faq/faq.aspx...model=WL-500gP the only difference between those two versions is in software (i.e. v2 supports DinamicDNS; v1 WebCAM + Download Master). Not big deal I could say...![]()
According to Oleg, there is a considerable hardware difference between wl500gP and wl500gPv2: http://oleg.wl500g.info/devices.html
It seems that wl500gPv2 is a top model from wl520g* line. So, its more "honest" name should sound: wl520gP
Exactly it should be named wl520gP, as it's much slower than original wl500gp.![]()
