On a previous post I introduced you with Asus WL-500gP. Last week I bought one of these, and here's my review:
- the ftp and Samba daemons work as expected. Didn't try the printer;
- in general, the router user interface is just too bad to be true;
- I couldn't get download manager to work; tried it on 3 boxes with firewalls down: the utilities finds the router, the downloader refuses to connect;
- the FAQ to solve this known problem makes reference to something just not there, probably from another version;
- the Asus forum is full of other upset users; lots of bugs and unstable versions; lots of crashes and strange communication slowdown;
- the updatable linux firmware can go wrong on this unit, and the repair voids the waranty;
I'm returning it tomorrow. Being Asus, I'd expect a better product... The 32MB RAM linux upgradable and USB support is not enough for the instability of the unit.
