can I use huawei E-173 modem on asus wl500w? If yes, then tell my how? Sorry for my bad english

Use the newest firmware from here: http://code.google.com/p/wl500g/
Then I suggest to follow a linux-guideline for your modem, just ask google.
I'm sorry, I do not own a Huawei E173 Modem, therefore I'm not able to guide you....

hi

i reloaded the firmware 1.9.2.7-10-USB-1.71 on my old Asus WL-500gx, found that my unlocked vodafone USB K3715 which is the OEM of Huawei E180.
Try to choose E220, E630, E169, all of them get out of luck and with this error.

In file /tmp/ppp/peers/gprs: unrecognized option '/dev/usb/tts/0'

is there anyway to fix? thanks

I would suggest to use the newest available Firmware:
Use the newest firmware from here: http://code.google.com/p/wl500g/
Then I suggest to follow a linux-guideline for your modem, just ask google.

I'm sorry, I do not own a Huawei E180 Modem, therefore I'm not able to guide you....

But the most important is to disable the password request at startup (with windows) of the modem.

Have fun
