    it works perfectly.
    You always have a choice. Our choice is to break limits...
    I have USB hub as well but I usually need only 2 USB ports. One port is dedicated to USB flash key in my case - now I can put it inside the router to have a very compact device. No external cable to hub, no extra power needed. Quite useful if you need some mobility like me.

    It works perfectly but the problem is when you add two disks and have one of them with some other tools for the WL500g (like webserver with PHP, FTP server and other add ons) and the WL500g one day recognizes the "tools" disk as first disk and everything is OK but the next day the "tools" disk is recognized as second USB disk and the WL500g doesn't mount as it should.

    same here..
    with this, you can, for example, install a 2.5''HD and a usb<->ide adapter _INSIDE_ the router... so... how cool is that !!!
    the next time your friend tells you about his fantastic linksys wrt54g... ask him if he can do this.... LOL...

    I'm glad that the fact I noticed the "2nd usb port" in the logs ended up in a real solution, and in the unveiling of a hidden surprise in the router....

    USB 2 Addon for WL500g v2.x

    Has any body considered adding a USB2 host controller too there wl500g?

    I would think all the required signal are exposed on the Mini PCI conector.

    I'm used to soldering tiny legs on tiny surface mount ICs and have a very decent fine pointed soldering iron.. I think its well worth a shot!

    I think i'll have to remove a USB host controller from one of the USB 2 PCI addin cards that can be had for only a few quid as a quick browse of Farnell , RS and the like wasn't to promising.

    I doubt that this would make much sense - even the Deluxe, which has a 200 MHz cpu, compared to 125 MHz on this unit, isn't able to transfer more than 2 or 3 MByte/s across the bus in typical situations (as Network Attached Storage e.g.).

    Question is it the same?

    Router board version needs to be 2.xx as older boards have a different layout.
    Good luck!
    Hi, I really like this idea.
    But when I checked photos,
    on the Board.jpg you can see BCM4702KBP (the same I have got as well),
    on the Detail1.jpg you can see BCM4333KBP.
    I do not have detailed BCM4702KBP description.
    My question is - has anybody checked this modification with BCM4702KBP?
    PCB seems to be the same as in the photos.

    Thank you,

    2nd (internal) USB port for WL-500g

    Hi,

    i just wanted to confirm that i was able to successfully connect a USB memory stick to the internal USB port.

    Thank you for the good work!

    Note:
    I had to change D+ and D- correspondig to the green labels B and C on the the screen shot here in this thread.

    The black labels "P" and "N" on the other screen shot are correct.

    Dear Oleg, thank you in advance for posting BCM4702 usb pinout, its quite a beginnig for me to find out the same pins in a BCM4712.
    I just want to ask you if you have any method in order to find them out, because its been a while since i have a wrt54g and until now no light about it.
    If theres any special technique, please show me a way.
    Thanks again.
