when i want to play dota, then i increased power to 180mW ..huhu.. then we can play dota without lag(mine is 2 tingkat house). Otherwise wireless client will get a little lag and i dun want them to complain if they die . But i think it is true, i feel quite not comfortable, maybe coz the transmission or mayb i'm going to lose

just get wired if u want to play online game, pushing ur Xmit power will cause ur router chip overheating and not good for ur health

WRT54GL can be push up to 250mW :-) if u have proper cooling fan on it . It will produce a good results . It will be no match when using 8 dbi omni directional outdoor antenna :-)

Just wondering... has anyone tried DD-WRT with the new WRT54G2? Doesn't look like it's supported on the DD-WRT website... I wanna get a router and I'm thinking between WRT54GL v1.1 or WRT54G2. Hmm...

I would go for WRT54GL since is better spec than WRT54G2.
Newer didnt mean is better...

Thanks! Now I know which one to buy

bro, too many good reviews on the other side about buffalo routers beeing better than WRT54GL and how they have
dumped WRT54GL, is buffalo good when it comes to high power operations? thanks boss

yes, i have good faith in buffalo router, especially on the discontinued WHR-G54S. Can outperform WRT54GL easily (in term of wireless capability). New router WHR-G125 got better wifi performance but the unattachable antenna is real cons, unless been mod with extra antenna socket.

Anyway here my preferences.

WHR-G125 > WHR-G54S > WRT54GL > WHR-HP-G54

forgot to add. Heat issue in buffalo router is but i don't see any effect in it's performance yet. Another thing is, if you broke/lost the adapter; there is no way of getting the 3rd party replacement.

orait bro, thanks for explaining

owh, azmi hamzah. u 'perli' me meh?

i found my adapter already, i 'nekad' to search in the house and suddenly found my friend kitten stole it and hide under the owner bed

no, never intended to perli u.

i broke my first WHR-G125 power adapter during DIY POE setup. Changed to third party 5v 2A adapter from Jln Pasar; work fine for a day before fried the router board. The adapter happen to broke too

Total damage : Rm155 (router) + Rm20 (5v adapter) = RM175, but the experience was priceless

right, experience far more importance. is your ddwrt did not need to reboot? i mean maybe all your router need to reboot ones a day?

just set auto-reboot every 12 hours. It located at Keep Alive function

Yeah already V2

planning to get my 2nd unit of wrt54gl

linksys prices are artificially expensive, haizz... regret never buy buffalo when it was RM145

I want to know is the WRT54G/WAG200G/WRT150N also work as a wired connection or is it wireless only.

State which ones are wired only please.

I'm looking for a new router/modem i don't mind if they coupled it with wireless but primary function would be wired connection as i already have a wireless modem.

I also want to know which of the 3 above actually work well with Streamyx because as you can see on this thread many of you seem to be using WRT54G. I just want a modem for gaming purposes so i want the stable ping rate my D-Link just went bust so I'm using my alternate D-Link modem .

Also don't bring in Buffalo etc modem into this equation because i would have to preorder and I'm more then happy to use Linksys. I do have access to Netgear so if any of you Netgear fans have one that is good please go ahead and state.

Netgear brands:

WGR 614

WGPS 606

DB834G

So yeah go ahead and state which are actually wired versions & work well with Streamyx

Primary use for this modem is gonna be online gaming like CS, Warcraft 3 F Throne, WOW (Trying not to go back but the evil within me hungers), Starcraft 2 when it gets released this year

I don't want to use D-Link though because my other 2 computers are already on it so my 3rd computer & Laptop are going to be using this router. My laptop is a gaming laptop so i need wired connection that's reliable. Also Prasys loves 3rd party firmwares like Tomato and MX510 likes DD-WRT so i would love to flash the firmware only thing does the warranty get void doing this and should i wait 1 year till doing it before trying to brick the modem so to speak .

Those of you going to state Google it don't waste your time i've already done it and if that's all your gonna type don't waste your time move a long i need to make sure before i screw myself and buy the wrong one . Don't be a smart ass like me and say Yahoo it either hehe. Thank you and take care!

This thread is for DD-WRT or Linksys fans yup I'm a fan a believer Hallelujah

Xtryfe , since you're more inclined towards gaming. I would suggest you to opt for the WRT54GL Wireless router as you want a reliable router. Do keep in mind that , you'll have to void your warranty to flash a third party firmware. But there is a risk involved

My 2 cents

Live dangerously i always say .

Hey Prasys is WRT54G wired i just want to confirm also why is WRT150N not good is it not wired. I know the saying new doesn't mean good. Also i know your a WRT54G user with tomato firmware and play games so you do have experience in this modem just wanted to know about WRT150N. Also thanks a lot for the quick reply .

At first my intention was to right a long-lenghty explanation but then I got carried away with the topics in RWI (hope you don't mind). WRT150N is just a remake of WRT54G but with 802.11n. I wouldn't recommend you to go for N unless you have a state-of-the-art laptop with 802.11n card. The other reason why I said to go with WRT54GL is that you can install third party add-ons such as a heatsink and even solder in a SD Card slot to upgrade the Routers RAM capacity so that you can run more programs. Thirdly , the chipset which is found on WRT150N isn't as rock solid as WRT54G (I don't have the link for this - Will try to find and link my sauce) I strongly encourage you to go for another model of Linksys (for N series) if you want to get a 802.11n router

No problem and thanks for the explanation. Now i know much more between the 2 series. My laptop does support 802.11n but isn't this for wireless. If that is so then i can overlook it as i said i need a wired connection not wireless so i guess WRT54G suits me the best because of the amount of tweaking you can do to it.

Biggest draw is the 2 firmwares for me DD-WRT & Tomato. If possible what is the price range for it i checked and it was stated RM159 not sure if correct or not.

I mean since I'm never gonna use my wireless capabilities i just have 1 last fact to confirm. Looking past the 802.11n does WRT54G & WRT150N share the same wired specifications or do they differ.

You do claim stability issues with the current model of N series. What other N series models are there and which do you recommend although i think the N series focus on wireless and the wired part is the same if that's so I'm sold on getting WRT54G. Once again thank you for your time and explanation probably might help another whose looking to get a good solid workable TMnut modem.

I'll pester you later about FIRMWARE upgrades and which i should choose that is COMING SOON!
