Geez, these mirrors are slow and tend to break connection when your halfway. Could someone please post a mirror?

This are quite enough mirrors
Just use some download manager like Flashget, Jetget, wget, or something else which can restart broken transfers. I prefer Flashget, you can download simultanous from differend mirrors to speed up. Same will do wget under linux.

Of course I could use a download manager, but when it takes an hour to download 5.5 megs of data, I'd look for more mirrors.

Depends on your internet connection

Hi.

Has anyone tested the Bandwith management? For me it seems to work on the download side, but the upload doesn't kick in. This is a problem when i am downloading something and try to use my VoIP. Problem is probably that the phone uploads on a port range of several hundred ports and you are not able to specify several ports.

I think you should have also been able to specify on IP-level like on the download side.

After you tried the new Bios out, can someone tell me how much shortened the range is?

[Freezer]

Much more interesting is to see why it's shorter?

I be waiting to test this release, because the range is important to me.

After flashing my WL-500G with the latest firmware (1.9.2.7) I was unable to connect to my ISP XS4ALL.

The error I recieved is Connect script Failed.
I've tried resetting the router to the factory defaults, loading the original settings, configuring the settings by hand, etc.

XS4ALL uses a PPTP connection. The Wireless router (client) must be configured with a 10.0.0.x address and must have the default gateway set to 10.0.0.138. With the new firmware, I'm unable to configure these IP settings.

To solve te problem, I flashed the router with the previous firmware. After loading the original firmware (1.8.3) everything worked fine.

[Styno]

Amrensen: XS4ALL uses KPN as ADSL supplier right?

There are other people who can't get the connection with KPN working. Are you willing to supply a simple 'WL-500g with KPN' HOWTO? It would be much appreciated.

How your modem is configured?

[Viper_Rus]

Tried, but poor results. Did use 1.8.1.7-3 with much better results. BTW i'm using WPA-PSK and AES or AES/TKIP and not WPA.

Would be nice if they updated the user manual too once in a while.
I don't understand chinese to well
And I'd like to know how to use all those new options like QoS etc
