Broadcom did most of the hardware design for the WRT54G and there are several (internally) similar devices under various manufacturers. There is a forum on the chupa.nl domain that talks about some of the customed ASUS firmwares for WL-300 and WL-500 APs, IIRC. Also a german team (DD-WRT) has recently made a derivative/fork of the Alchemy firmware that has a nice default information/status page visible before login. Other firmwares include OpenWRT, EWRT, HyperWRT, and the Wifi-Box firmware. Not all firmware run on all WRT54G/GS hardware revisions so make sure you read the docs/forums/comments before attempting to flash your WRT54G. Most current firmware runs on the WRT54G v2.0, some have problems with v2.2 hardware. Some older firmware only works on v1.0 and v1.1 hardware. The latest firmware tends to run on all revisions.

It's on their site with screenshots. -hk _______________________________________________ Talk mailing list [email protected] http://seattlewireless.net/mailman/listinfo/talk
