Thanx! Is anybody using this FW yet? Any good? Since I don't see 802.11n working yet with Vista/Intel 4965AGN and Oleg's FW...
Miloman's post is terrific for me...
I'm moving from a well working 500gP to a new 500W cause I've a new Asus laptop with Intel 4965AGN wireless card, and I'd like to use it with N speed.
Can someone please post his experience with 500W at 802.11N ?
Thanks, Max
yes, use wpa2 and ais.
And you are running this firmware (2.0.0.2)?
So far it only 2.0.0.1 that has been released. It was a type-error in the headline.
I can't change the subject

ASUS Wl-500W
I use it because I have heavy wireless connection problems with newest oleg firmware.
2.0.0.1 works perfect for me
I use the 4965AGN
Encryption is WPA2 Personal AES
Also 4965AGN with WPA2 Personal AES. Works perfectly with Oleg.
My experience:
1. Asus or oleg firmware with wpa and tkip = slow wireless.
2. Asus or oleg firmware with wpa and aes = fast wireless speed.
¿Bug in TKIP?
With TKIP i can see this on my linux logs:
wlan1: TKIP decrypt failed for RX frame from XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX (res=-1) (lot of lines ...)
I just got a WL500W, flashed the Asus 2.0.0.1, and set up an 802.11n only AP. My http://www.speakeasy.net/speedtest/ normally runs at about 9000mbps using an 11.g or 11n card to connect to my WL500gP 11g router.
Using the new WL500W and the 11n connection I got 20,000mbps!
I then flashed Oleg's latest but could only get 9000mbps. I flashed back to the 2.0.0.1 firmware and only got 9000mbps? I played around and changed the radio channel from Auto to channel 7 and got back to 20,000mbps, so I re-flashed Oleg's, did the same channel change and got 20,000mbps! Very sweet.
I'm using WEP and 11n mode only.

I had not any problems with oleg and speeds to be honest...
I do have some encryption difficulties because of outdated drivers for laptops etc.
and for chanels... I think measuring the speed via internet is not a good way to measure, the best way is just a file transfer between 2 pc's then you get some real results
