    Is there any documentation how to attach a serial cable to wl-500w? I have already opened the box, but where to go from there...

    All wonderfull but i red that those 3 antennas aren´t detachable ... so it won´t server for the purpose i was thinking that is to conect each output to a high gain antenna.
    One 24db grid, one 14db flat panel and another i´d buy around omni-directional.
    Definatly i´ll go back to the previous setup, WL 500gp wich was good but not much on the RF Power using as it came from factory.

    EDIT: Gone to WL500gp, 500W didn´t have detachable antennas ...

    Will WL-500W ever get Wi-Fi CERTIFIED for 802.11n draft 2.0?
    So far it's not on the list: http://certifications.wi-fi.org/wbcs...tions%5B%5D=33



    This certificate represents the capabilities and features that have passed the interoperability testing governed by the Wi-Fi Alliance. Detailed descriptions of these features can be found at www.wi-fi.org/certificate

    I have some interest about the wl500w, because i'm looking for a router compatible with :
    - draft 2.0 (and i found the certificate draft 2.0 capabilities on the wifi-alliance web site.)
    - oleg
    - dd-wrt

    Could somebody purpose an other product than the 500w ? Because it seems hard to find this router in france.
