Doggystyle: Do u use wireless? if yes and i got 300bucks then i will buy whr-g54s around rm150 and another rm150 buy a stronger antenna(whr-g54s antenna is changeable) , the signal of ori antenna come with it is strong too , anyway u can increase th signal Xmit in dd-wrt after u flash it aslo , so for home user , no need buy extra powerful antenna. Many ppl compare buffalo with linksys , some ppl say linksys is poor than buffalo and some say linksys is better. So depend u lo. But i tell u , my whr g54s nv disappoint me

username: admin n password also admin or

If u flash to DD-WRT username is root password admin

Chiafoo: Yes, I do plan to move my download rig (native ubuntu!) out of my room, therefore the wireless. Doubt I need the extra signal strenght though. Do you know what is the spec of WHR-G54s in term of cpu/ram/flash size?

Doggystyle:
the cpu is 200mhz 16mb flash 4mb memory , mean it can flash into any generic file of dd-wrt , the dd-wrt version with support by this router can found in pages 107 which i explained in early. After u flash to dd-wrt u can increase the cpu speed aslo to 210mhz or so on . My router at hall and my laptop connect wirelessly from my room at up floor with no problem , full str . So i think no need to change antenna for ur case aslo.
I aslo use it to dl torrent with thunder ( with cant block with streamyx ) and hit 180kb/s without the router goin to hang and cannot browse

At last, my Linksys WRT54GL V1.1 loaded with DD-WRT v23 SP2 Standard.

Chiafoo: Thanks. Guess I just drop by lowyat after work to get it tomorrow. Aint gonna wait for PC fair.

Edit: CZONE price list state Rm170 for Buffalo WHR-54GS. Can get cheap anywhere else?

Thundermatch only RM150.

kitsuna: Thanks for the tips.

Ok, got The WHR-G54S from Thundermatch for 145. Sweet.
Now, the label on the box is Wireless G-125, what does that mean?

On dd-wrt wiki page, it says there is a separate firmware for G125.
Wiki
This is the Firmware

So, do I use the one for G125, or do I stick with standard Broadcom?

u buy WHR-G54S or WHR 125G......dun flash wrong firmware brother........i think urs is WHR-G54S ....look into ur router label on it , dun look at the box......my box aslo write G125 because it gain 125 speed....G54s and G125 both need differ firmware

If u confirm is G54s then read my reply on page 107

I think better stick with the one for G125.

Thats meaning WiFi-G 125Mbps

Try to look on the side of the box, and find the "Bar Code" which will tell you the model to confirm.

Olso look under the router, they also put the model number near the serial number

Just bought another 2 WHR-G54s routers for my wireless network. Pretty damn cheap nowadays, only RM138 from thundermatch! Here the preview for what i'm going to do this week.

P/S : for buffalo whr-g54s please flash with dd-wrt_generic firmware!!

Added on December 10, 2007, 12:24 amSorry if my picture is misleading. You will never want to open the casing on the first day you buy your router right?

Wah nice kerbau getting cheaper now looks like a new 14 Omni DBI antenna gonna buy this soon

Kitsuna: Hi, please ignore my earlier comment. Got it all fixed now.

Yup, Buffalo WHR G54 is one powerful device(not to mention much cheaper than a equivalent linksys). Recommended for anyone whos experiencing lag while torrenting (among other features). Even without the QoS activated, its still significantly faster than my prolink 9200. With QoS enabled, its asskicking.

bro azmihamzah... u flash using the web gui or tftp?

just flashed my routers to V23 SP2.

got it bad, my musang api seems had frequent disconnection
