I have not been able to find an "ASUS WireLess Router" group, so I pose my
question here, if this is the wrong group, please direct me tothe right one.
I have an "ASUS WireLess Router" WL-500W, I have two issues that I am trying
to correct. The first one is, is there a way to reserve more than 8 IP
addresses. I would like to have the dhcp server give out addresses and not
have to worry about static addresses even though I need the addresses to be
the same each and every time.
The second issue is, I can not get the USB print server to work, and am
looking for any suggestions on this.
thank you in advance

There may not be one in usenet (and there won't be one on Microsoft's news
servers, of course). However, the manufacturer should have a support page on
their website.

This is fine for general wireless questions. For your particular hardware,
you should contact the manufacturer's support.

See above - your best bet is to get in touch with the hardware manufacturer.

PS: Best not to post your email address in here (or in your account
settings) unless you like spam.

Hi
I do not know where you started your Internet quest about the Wireless
Router. you reached the Microsoft newsgroup. There is here NO groups for
none Microsoft devices.
However as a long shot with a grain of salt ;). USB printer servers that are
not of the same manufacturer as the printer some times are not compatible
with many printers.
If you want better DHCP reservation you can try to flash your Router with
this free 3rd party firmware.
It would make the Router much more flexible, but I am not sure that it
supports the USB server.
