Asus WL-500g Premium

Posted on 01/06/2006

Yesterday I bought an Asus WL-500g Premium wireless router to replace my Netgear WGR614. First impressions, well, it's much more advanced, I can install custom firmware on it like OpenWRT, dd-wrt or Oleg's Firmware that turns this box into a mini PC running Linux. And like any Linux distro, I can install cusom apps like httpd, cron, sshd, telnel. 

Netgear WGR614 is a great router, very stable. I have been using it for over a year now and I had no problems with it. I am replacing it with a much better one. The Asus WL-500g Premium has 2 USB 2.0 ports that can be used as external storage, webcam, printer. I tested the webcam feature with an old Philips webcam I had since 2001 and worked great at 320x240. With a higher resolution 640x480 did not work. Anyway, I am happy with the new router. This weekend I will install sone custom firmware on it, I have not decided yet witch one.
