the 1st post is making me dizzy because I am not really into networking , so I do not understand very well. so let me make this straight , my home is having 2 desktop and one laptop , but we only have one ADSL modem with one LAN port. so I thinking to get a WRT54GL to extend 4 LAN ports and wireless capability for my home users. We kinda want a budget series so WRT54GL is the one for us right ?

I've heard about WRT and tomato custom firmware.
can you compare Custom Firmware DD-WRT V24 SP1 Special Edition vs tomato lastest firmware ? what is the main difference , need as detail as possible.. thanks
