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

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 .

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!

I would appreciate it if you could find the link on chipset difference between WRT54GL & WRT150N. You said [but the WRT150N uses a new Network controller (For wired) ] does this improve performance for wired connections or just a so called upgrade for upgrade purposes. I notice you said WRT54G is the only one able to be tweaked and the N series i won't be able to use 3rd party firmware or is there another 3rd party party firmware for N series. These are my final questions before i RIP . Thanks 1nce again .

Woot! brilliant thanks finished reading em both sold on getting WRT54G but i gotta find out version. Damn there is a GS model and so many different version numbers.

I gotta ask my vendor which one he is selling. Bloody Linksys can't make 1 model had to manufacture versions like no tomorrow. T100, T1000, TX Lucky they had a conclusion below their findings made it very valuable & easy to pick out the one i need .

Thanks Prasys . Take care

Joehans yeah I'm looking for a modem/router combo. I don't mind if it is coupled with wireless capabilities. Do you mean to say WRT54G can't get wired connection or do you mean these routers can only setup automatic connection and not manual ones. I'm just making sure before i make the plunge . You got me slightly confused now .

I know Prasys will clarify it for me or you will thanks guys .

Thanks mikelanding...

I didn't need to buy a new modem because my uncle passed me his Linksys WAG200G because he is off 2 UK so he said why let it go to waste. So I'm using it and can spend the cash on a new HDTV screen for my gaming. Prasys sorry you helped and i didn't buy it . Still all that help was good though

Also I'm not sure if this one can use 3rd party firmware somewhere i saw they said it could. Prasys if you know this model able to use 3rd party firmware please point me to the right direction thanks a lot and take care.
