While this should work in general, trying to push 802.11ac -and USB even less- through the CPU of your WL-500GP v2 is probably pushing your luck a bit too far (you're limited by the 100 MBit/s ethernet ports to begin with, but USB storage on routers of those specifications, with USB being quite CPU intensive, was typically limited to around 2.0-2.5 MByte/s, this is probably a very similar constraint for a wlan card, with wlan being rather timing sensitive, it might be that your router CPU is already overwhelmed with pushing management frames alone).

Thanks for your answer. I Understand.
I'm not plan it for heavy use like fast internet connection through ac. only for stream mp3 music from storage to phone, but the built-in wlan have only b and g, even not n, with very limited range.
But it seems like the router not recognize properly the adapter as wlan interface. i don't see the adapter nowhere, only in lsusb but not anywhere besides.
My question is simple, what is the procedure for install usb wifi adapter? (what to write and where, etc). i dont know how to do that.
(I'm sorry about my bad english, isn't my native language).
