uhm well the files are at the asus site so I assume they are official
i don't have an upload account to their servers or something

it seems they are very busy at the moment, the contact at asus did read my request for the changelog but that was at 22.30 THEIR time!! so they are working very very late..

leave the username empty and the password "admin" without the ""

good luck let me know what you think about the firmware!

[marciton]

it's a quick and a good answer

Thanks,

PLEASE READ CAREFULLY!!!!

when using an empty username and 'admin' as password
you did NOT correctly press the restore defaults button

at this time you are already fucking up the unit, and instability can be caused by doing this

the ONLY correct possibility to login to a proper default configuration is when you have to login with 'admin' as username and 'admin' as password

v1.8.1.9 seems stable, i upgraded this evening.

bug report:
when you need use the DHCP manual IP to MAC setting, you can't change anything at 'nat setting' except port trigger setting, otherwise, your IP TO MAC will fail.

i change virtual server to off and not forward battle.net, the DHCP IP TO MAC bound will fail to start.

maybe that also in other version firmware.

Downloaded as soon as it was put on this site... and the version 1.8.1.9 is running stable on my WL-500G ever since.

I don`t use all features at the moment... but in in access point mode it works for me.

I`m using mixed WPA-TKIP/AES encryption on my WinXP SP2 machines. I did a browser upgrade from 1.8.1.7 and didn`t need to factory reset it again... all settings were still there.

First impression:
What I really like is that asus made the USB features available in the menu also in "AP mode". Its also very nice that you can choose a different port for ActiveX "and" the Javascript webcam. Will test this soon.

looking good so far!

Hello,

i now have also instaled this firmware.

My biggest problem was that the wan dies or what i find out is that no matter what i do, like surfing or downloading fast en many files (newsgroup with 8 conecctions)
Everytime the connections falls of after a amount of time, i can not gife a time example because than in takes a couple of ours and some times days and also 3 times in 4 ours ???

So i could never complete a download, when this happens i go to the router menu 192.168.1.1 and go to status page and make a refresh , or renew and than in right works again ???

I read that many people have this problem , what can we do or will this firmware fix this problem.

Is there anybody with a solution ??.

Thanx

after upgrading (with reset) i could no longer lget a wireless connection with my ibook. neither with wpa nor wep

[justwords]

oh my god, another problem: Strange: Yesterday i upgaded to the new firmware, but because my ibook did not connect wirelessly i downgraded to 1.7.5.6. Now i cannot use lpr printing any more, neither form windows pcs nor from macs. Even if connected via ethernet. Anyone any idea? It did not change after i did reset and reimported the old settings.

Now it works with new firmware. But it seems the behaviour changes with every set. With the last one i did not even get on the net. Did a reset, and everything worked. Now even the login is "admin". But after i reimported my old settings, it changed back to "" (blank). No way to change that. But another reset? Hm, i do not dare...

[justwords]

I did dare and now wlan only connects without encryption. Somehow asus seems to have totally messed up the firmware. Never had a problem before (only with a "medion" notebook with nitro chip).

uhm...

you can NOT reimport old settings, you have to enter all of them manually
reimporting can cause your router to malfunction (as it seems it does already)
