any info/reviews on this model WRT54GC.. my friend got it, it looks kind of cute.. he got it for RM220 at lowyat.

does it support 3rd party firmware?

I am going to buy another wireless router.. any recommendation? should i get WRT54GC ? i got wrt54G but it's version 5 hardware.. dont really like it, has lots of issues. any other recommendation?

I saw a friend of mine using Dlink wireless... gosh the ping from his laptop to the router is 20ms . Linksys still works the best with 1-2 ms ping.

any idea? thanx for reply.

i am going to KL next week. can someone tell me where i could get my hands on the LInksys wrt54G version 4 hardware?

ok thanks!

will avoid CDFB!

I went to Midvalley AND lowyat plaza/imbi/ sungei wang searching for LInksys WRT54G version 4 hardware.. well dude... not in sale anymore. I did find WRT54GS version 4 hardware sold for RM280 at midvalley IT corner.

After some thoughts, I settled for my 2nd Linksys WRT54G hardware version 5... reason.. dont fix what is not broken. I have the propencity to get into problem with computer stuff (call it bad karma).. so better dont try mess aroudn with the firmware.

anyway thanx for the advice on ddwrt... I wish I had the gut to flash it.. but I guess I wont risk my RM280 for that!

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?

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.

Hi guys, not sure where to post this but since most forumer in this thread has LInksys..

My adaptor just konked. How can i get it replaced? i think it's past warranty period.

HOw?

thanx for prompt reply. I just got myself a RM25 third party adaptor. Took a while to find it at town

can someone put up a faq on the 3rd party firmware for linksys router?

I don't know where to start reading from this 110 pages of post but basically I got a linksys wrtGs version 5. The last I know (6 months ago), they have cracked the version 5 with a DDwrt thing - is that right?

I came across Tomato, Russian etc .. and I am very confused. I need to QoS my housemate who starts using bit torrent 24 hours/day now. Can someone guide me?

1. Good 3rd party firmware for QoS wirelessly
2. Easy to flash
3. Stable
4. Steps / links to flash the firmware.

Thank you in advance.

thanks
