Could not flash Oleg and OpenWRT firmware

[natash]

Dear All,

I try to flash my ASUS wl-500g Premium, from original firmware to Oleg. But flash to Oleg faild, then I try OpenWRT and also faild. I can only upgrade my Asus to DD-WRT firmware. I bought my router 2 weeks ago, maybe Asus made some restriction about flashing. Or maybe I am doing something wrong.

Every firmware I was flashing in the same way:

Unplug power cable
Press restore button
Plug power cable
Free restore button
Start Asus software to restore firmware with selected proper file
I see that firmware was flashing
When finished I wait a few minutes and then try to enter to Asus by web browser

- OpenWRT do not work (Even I could not ping 192.168.1.1)
- Oleg - when I enter 192.168.1.1 I see firmware for Asus Delux (strange)
- DD-WRT works good

Please help because I would like to use other firmware than DD-WRT. Which is better and what is the correct way to flash it?

Maybe am I using wrong file?
"It is WL500gx-1.9.2.7-7e.zip (x stands for any letter, I guess)" I found this in turtorial, and I try WL500gx-1.9.2.7-7e.zip. Is it correct?
