DD-WRT SP1 is really working well for me ! Been running it for 27 hours already !

how much will be the cable cost?

Cable ? I just bought my new WRT54GS since the WRT54G was v5.

JTAG Cables are pretty expensive

There is a guide on how-to create your own JTAG Cable [for the braves]


As for the rest of us , we have eBay

The cable itself is around RM 40-50

JTAG cable needed only for v5?

what if i'm using WRT45G v3?

Building your own JTAG cable is the easy part. Soldering a JTAG header on the WRT board is the difficult part. And none of the Linksys WRT54G/S models have an JTAG header, so what is the use of buying a JTAG cable if you lack the skills to solder the header ?

Hi, I wanna ask if I wan to buy a WRT54G router, how i can check the firmware? Is it shown at the box?

Try to avoid the serial number that is starting with CDFB. But it would be difficult as most WRT54G routers out there now is v5 unless you go for the WRT54GS.

So the safest way to avoid WRT54G v5 firmware is to buy WRT54GS router?

Yeah. I've gone around searching for WRT54G that is older than v5 but can't find any of them. So in the end I just bought WRT54GS which has the serial number starting with CGN6.

So S/N starting with CGN6 is the best?? v5 GS also same with v5 G rite??

then u shud be able to use dd-wrt flashing method without any hesitation

or get a WRT54GL... that's a "rebadged" version v1~4 WRT54G running Linux based system.

i cant find WRT54GL in malaysia

Anyone here knows GS is wat version now?? v5 also?? Can be flashed?

Nope. v5 and above can't be flashed with 3rd party firmware. There is still WRT54GS v4 in the market. Grab it while you still can.

v5 can be flash but only for very very pro people lah..... last month i go lowyatt but cant get v4...

Have to get the JTAG cable and stuff plus v5 has low RAM and ROM which I say it's not worth the money to get it in my opinion.

haha really not worth for it and the risk is too high.........

Ok, I'm using WRT54G v2.2 with DD-WRT v23. I'm quite sick of my router disconnections, is there anything I can try? The strange part is that if I don't use the PC, it can BT happily for a day or two with excellent speed. If I start to use the PC, the connection may die anytime.

How often does your router disconnect, prasys?
