WL-500gP with 3G USB Modem and Oleg's Firmware

[Anttu]

No, actually the *original*, two-headed Huawei cable is the failing one.

One more question, what would be the best solution to see the modem 3G signal level with WL-500?

In Windows I can start a terminal session to E220 and use AT+CSQ command, but how can I use AT commands with Asus? Or is there some other way to monitor the signal level?

Well, there are several linux tools under development, so it will take some weeks - but useful stuff is always ported fast to often needed systems.
Hence it's the best to wait a few days/weeks.

As I know from experience, the signal level does'nt tell you anything, because the speed depends much more to the local cell, I've been at places with full signal and very low speed and with low siganl with high speed. Further, you must consider, that there is just one bandwidth - maybe you have to share the bandwidth with others - without any possibility of getting influence.
