Well the only problem i have with Linksys WRT54G version 5 is that the ethernet port always hang.

My laptop is connected to LInksys through wifi.. and so far so good.. and i would confidently say that Linksys router gives the most stable wireless connection with ping from my laptop to router around 1ms only. (other models give around 15ms -20 ms delay = not good for gaming)

however, my desktop is connected to linksys through its ethernet port. After a few hours, i will get disconnected so to speak. Check the LAN connection says connected but no packets is coming through from linksys router to my desktop connected physically to it. anyone has any idea how to fix this?

I tried changing the ip to 192.168.2.x .
Interesting, I could see my desktop(ethernet) name appearing on the DHCP clients table.
Previously I would have only my laptop (connected wirelessly) appearing on the table.

Will keep it running for a while and see what happens. THanks for this piece of information. Where did u read the solution btw?

Forgot... under frustration of getting a blue brick that need to be reset once in a while, searched and read various forums, site etc. Could be from ddwrt forum if I not remember wrongly.

The problem is still occur once in a week, but sort of okay.. Sigh.. consumer rights here different, see the forum of ddwrt, some of them can get refund. =.=

have u tried disabling the DHCP server and assign your own internal IP to the computers connected to your router?

I am sure there is light at the end of the tunnel for linksys router. I read 3rd party software might be compatible with version 5.

As for me I could not think of any other brand except Linksys. Tried Dlink.. not very good because of the 20ms delay in the router. Linksys still gives the minimal latency.

According to http://www.dd-wrt.org/ the flash for Linksys WRT54G had been released. My i know it is stable? Anyone using?

ANyone try OpenWRT www.openwrt.org ?

I was just upgraded my firmware http://planetmy.com/blog/?p=48

I have tried OpenWRT , works fine. You get a lots of storage , but again you dont have a GUI ...All CLI...I would rather have DD-WRT [OpenWRT + GUI + $VEA$oft]

prasys...do u use any of those beta build of v23 sp1? rite now my router is on v23 final and doing fine but i still have problem limiting torrent in my network. i've read a little bit abt traffic control (tc) support in linux n v23 but dunno how to use it. actually i want to give individual bandwidth to each pc so that they have their own bandwidth & dont kacau me when playing online games.

this is what i found... http://luxik.cdi.cz/~devik/qos/htb/manual/userg.htm
but im not a linux nor network expert so this thing me...

You might want to check this site out

I havent tried those beta builds as I worried that it will break my IPV6 Tunnel

http://solosoft.org:81/projects/qos/ <--check that out on QoS

actually the qos didnt work before this becos i dont set the accurate up/download speed of the connection. im on 1mb package but the highest i could get is 750kbps only while the upload max out at 160kpbs. the average download speed is between 650-700. so i set 140/650 and now qos works. btw, when i set 1 of the pc (based on mac address) priority to bulk the pc wont get into internet at all. this is a good punishment to those using bt (bandwidth suckers) without thinking abt others. using ddwrt we can check who's actually sucking the bandwidth by telnetting into the router.

thanks prasys for the site.

Hi all, may i know what is the port number to be set in the QOS for Ragnarok? Cause my brother wanna play RO without much lag while BT. BTW, how to check which port is use for particular application or other online games? Thanks!!!

Does dd-wrt support WRT54G for version 5. I just got a version 5, and don't know what should i do with it as the current firmware is not very user friendly though...

bad news for ya.... did't support V5

They are DD-WRT for version 5 but still in beta not stable

Thanks... Please do post about it here if there is one stable one...

i hav a WBR2-G54, but scare after flash will brick my router... not supported yet... but Prasys adviced me to do it... but really scare hehe

you may need to enter the ddwrt forum n search for any success stories of your router. once u gained enuf confidence then go for it!

The brick risk is real. Are you willing to solder a JTAG header and debrick it ? .

If your CFE get's damaged you have to go this way.

Erm...how to set to make the WRT54gv5 act as switch? Currently try numerous ways and trials and errors but still failed.

Want to share internet in Uniten apartment. Got proxy also, don't know how set. cry. Anyone know pls help.

I don't understand ur needs you already 4 lan ports same function as switch u want to link more than buy a switch plug to any lan port behind the router
