Asus WL500G Premium & Oleg Custom Firmware
Recently I've bought an Asus WL500GP router. Just very quickly the list of it's features:

[*] there are custom linux based firmares available for it
[*] has 2 usb ports (supports USB hub, external hard drives, web cameras, card readers, usb sound cards)
[*] high quality design ;)


(i've opened my router and added a small 4GByte microdrive so it has a permanent harddisk attached. WARNING: this voids its warranty !!!)


It has a really wide package support, and can be used as a real NAS with multiple harddisks.

Anyways - stay tuned: I'm going to publish a few tutorials on how to do stuff with the router ;)
just found out that the maximum transfer rate on USB or UTP for this router is 3.5MBytes/sec. (that is 28MBit / sec)[br]
So if you have a connection speed higher than this, it will not be fully used for sure.

yepp, i know dd-wrt as well ;) - actually what i liked in oleg's firmware is that he didn't change the web ui ( which actualy i turned it off completely now ... ) - he just added new functionality to it.

If you're interested in custom firmwares, you should try dd-wrt too.
As far as I know, your gadget is supported. Take a look at http://dd-wrt.com

Dozens of new features were revealed after it was deployed to my Linksys and turned to a thousand dollar router...
