Hi guys,
If I go down to lowyat and grab a WRT54G, will I be getting as below?

8.0 240 MHz 8 MB(ram) 2 MB(flash) CDFF
CDFG Broadcom BCM5354KFBG Chipset with non-replaceable antennas.

Is 2mb flashrom sufficient for 3rd party flashing? or do i need to find an older version?

Edit:
The stats for the router is at this link WRT54

MX510: Thanks. Read around and found out the L stands for Linux. The G stop supporting 3rd party firmware after v4.

Is this Buffalo WHR-HP-G54S a superior product?
Edit: Any link for this Buffalo brand product? (google doesnt seem to get anything)

Chiafoo: Hi, sorry if I sound exaggerated. Of course, there were the amazon and newegg links, but what I'm looking for is a product review for Buffalo routers.

Ok, lets just say I got a max budget of 300 bucks for a router. Whats the best I can get with it, flashable with dd-wrt?

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?

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?

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?

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.
