Power LED goes off after boot (v23SP2 or latest v24), doesn't make a difference to me, but... still a bug!
Low Speed/Signal (This is the serious issue!)
I have a wl-500g and a wl500g Premium with dd-wrt v24.
With wl500g I can get a stable 54mbps connection an Excellent signal with my lapto (intel 2200bg) on my room.
With wl500gP, I get Good signal and the connection floas from 18-36mbps.
I've tried increase the Xmit power to 251mW but sgnal and speed remain the same!
There must be a serious issue with the wireless driver. The wl500gP has a new broadcom wi-fi chipset suposed to have "broadrange" technology... So it was to expect to have at least the 54mbps i had with the 500g!
This has almost drive me mad to the point of thinking to exchange the mini-pci cards between the wl-500g and wl500gP.
