Re: Making the Asus WL-520gU portable.

Sniffer? Do you mean AutoAP?

Re: Audio Skips

If I play one station (WRNN Talk Radio, Socastee SC, USA) and then switch to another station, that station will start skipping. If I stop and start the skipping station again, it will play normally.

Re: Controlling mpd using the SES/AOSS/EZ-SETUP button

"Router is hardwired to the internet. Router is also used for wifi, and my network printer is connected to it." Very cool. Wish something like this could be incorporated into a standard build/flash. How do you find the WL-520GU does as an Internet radio player, access point, router and pri...

Re: New WL520GU approach - building on the shoulders of gian

Linux Mint recognized the USB sound card chip in this all-in-one USB Sound, keyboard, mouse, hub device. It worked playing music on the laptop it was connected to. The big problem is that the volume control is either off or on 100%, no matter where you put the slider bar. But, it has a driver in Lin...
