Hi to you all,
After an awesome experience with Asus 520GU, it works just great, i have bought wl500w and follow this wiki:
* wl500g-recover.trx wl500g-recover.trx
* Mega Image 24-sp1 dd-wrt.v24_mega_generic.bin
This image (24-sp1) may brick your WL-500W. Sp2 beta svn11218 NEWD mega is better.
* tftp client (e.g. tftpd32 Tfpd32-3.28-setup.exe)
I have read all the threads of peacock and cakk even so i tought the beta sp2 svn11218 has it solved the problems....
Like that user all the process went well, i had the router up and running, as soon i change my wireless SSID, security options, i turn off the router to put it on is place, as soon as i get it on , no more air signal, no more ping....

Read cakk's thread from start to end. Try all that was recommended. Keep notes. Report back. You would really like ping responses at this point. _________________ Warning: I'm "out of my element!"

2) Use the Asus Firmware Restoration tool from the CD
3) Sent the latest Asus firwmware 2.0.0.6 to the router
4) Waited 10 minutes
5) Sent the "wl500g-clear-nvram.trx" to the router
6) Waited 10 minutes
7) Sent the "wl500g-recover.trx" to the router
Cool Waited 10 minutes
9) Sent the "dd-wrt.v24-11650_NEWD_mega.bin" to the router.
10) Waited 10 minutes and configured just the SSID.
11) Rebooted
12) Logged back in and set my WPA2 security information.
13) Rebooted
14) Setup other items
15) Rebooted and tested
What he means with pin 9 to ground? I'm from Portugal and i really dont understand what ground means in this situation, besides that i think he figured out a way to solve this...or not.
2) Sent the "wl500g-clear-nvram.trx" to the router
3) Waited 2 or 3 minutes and reboot
4) Sent the "wl500g-recover.trx" to the router
5) Waited 2 or 3 minutes and reboot
6) Sent the "dd-wrt.v24-11296_NEWD_mini_asus.TRX" to the router.
7) Waited 2 or 3 minutes and reboot.
I have then enter by web Interface, reset to default settings and upgrade to 11296 Mega by web interface, everything was sucessfull.
I change an option at a time (SSID and reboot, wireless security and reboot until i was satisfied with all my options) SO FAR SO GOOD and without the need to buy a new one
I HAVENT TESTED THE USB OPTION, SO BE CAREFULLLLLL.
I also followed the method mentioned by Munk, but because I was able to ping my router, just not access the webgui, I started at step 2. The Wiki update looks good, but I, Munk, and the original person I took the guide from (someone other than Munk) all used step 2 of loading "wl500g-clear-nvram.trx" to the router first. I am not saying this step is essential because I didn't try without it, but maybe it should be added because it couldn't hurt from what I understand.
Thanks for taking the time to update the Wiki though.

OK...I added the clear nvram stuff....look it over very carefully as if it was your first time flashing.
Let me know if there is anything else that needs to be changed/added.
