[WL-500g Deluxe] European WL500g Deluxe first pics

[Antiloop]

more pics will follow soon,
i'm still busy with an comparisation chart between WL500g and WL500g Deluxe

[gwl]

where did you buy it?
how much was it?

thanks,

[Antiloop]

Asus has been so kind to deliver me one for testing purposes

so I have no idea what it does cost neither what the price is, as it is not my property

[chiel]

would love to see that comparisation chart! when do you think you have it ready??

don't expect too much..

currently the wl500gx is slow.. I have no idea why
I'm still waiting for Asus to answer that particular question

or I expect too much from it
or it is just underperforming and thus firmware could be blamed..

[gwl]

humm slow??
What do you mean with "slow"? Slower than the WL-500g ? same speed?
Besides the 2 usb 2.0 ports and the faster cpu, Do you notice any other significative diferences?
If you connect a usb2.0 external ide disk, how fast can you transfer data?
(both wired, and wireless)
Is the radio sensibility/range the same as the old one?

thanks,

[gwl]

@Antiloop
Why are there no more news about the WL-G500 Deluxe?

1. Any results about performance etc.?
2. Your recommendation: Should i wait for this new baby or buy a "normal" 500g?
3. Heard anything about release date?

cheers,
JBK

Well, Antiloop is probably busy at the moment, but from the things I've heard - wl500gx doubled usb speed, but has not reached throughput we've expected. Either way, it's the best choice at the moment from the ASUS.
I'm suggesting buying this one instead of wl500g.

Do we have any news regarding the performance issue ?

two words explain it all:

'Which performance?'

the darn thing is sooo slow, you can better buy a wl-hdd at this moment if you want fast hdd access

Bad news for the ones who are waiting for the wl500gx for weeks

But Antilloop can you give us more information about the hardware configuration :
_quantity of flash memory
_quantity of RAM
_inside pics
_...

Do you think that the future asus/custom firmware release will be able to improve the performances ?

flash 4mb (like wl500g)
ram 16mb enabled (but 32mb onboard, we have enabled it already, and according to asus it should be enabled from factory)
inside pics see fcc currently
