I'm looking for a dependable wireless G router. I'm tired of having to restart my linksys router as well as having dropped connections. I do have several devices leeching off it; 2 laptops, a wii, and a ps3.

thanks

agreed DD-WRT is great. I've been running it on mine for 2 years now.

I can also say I've worked with them before, good routers. I do remember a situation where they were in a office with a repeater that was a NIGHTMARE!!!

not sure what version of dd-wrt they were running at the office, but the documentation on setting up repeaters/access points ~v23 was pretty awful. It's gotten much, much better now that v24 is out.

My roommate tried out tomato and I liked it a lot. Tomato had some really nice graphs and was way more lightweight than dd-wrt. Actually, I don't know that for sure, but the interface responded loads quicker. Very nice overall, but it gave me problems with usenet. I suspect it was more the wireless adapter I was using and not the firmware, but had to go back to dd-wrt.

Yea for v23 setting up a repeater was pretty horrible. Right now at home I've got two wrt54gs with v24. One is plugged into the dsl modem and a desktop comp, the other is on the other end of the house and is set as a repeater bridge so it extends the wireless and outputs on ethernet. Was really easy to set up and has been rock solid.

I have a WRT54G v7, so dd-wrt is not compatible, are there any other firmware for this model router?


Thanks for your help

Does anyone really follow the flash w/ a mini version.. then flash again with a regular for the WRT54G series? Specifically a WRT54GL?

On most of the WRT54G's running the default firmware, yes. This is because most Linksys firmwares have a 3mb limit on firmware images. Concerning the WRT54GL v1.1, some of the new ones have a slightly different firmware version that will allow for a larger firmware update.

btw...blitz you need to save me ffs :(
