It is a pity but I have brought back my WL500G to the shop and got my money back.....
I tried everything to get it to work properly, searched any avenue on this forum, tried all the firmware combinations from ASUS and Intel but it just would not work reliably
At the start the connection is great, icon says excellent connection 54 Mbps but within 5 minutes it drops to 1Mbps and drops the connection after an other minute or two, reconnects and the story starts all over again.
It is a shame because I loved the feature set that was ever expanding with the help of Oleg and the other contributors.
Can someone send me a mail when there is a new version of the router that works as advertised???? (and keeps doing that).
Back on my old Linksys with 11Mbps but reliable!!
