[FS][US] Linksys WRT54GS

stinger608 · Apr 9, 2010, 07:21 PM

As the title states, this is a Linksys WRT54GS V.5 with "speedBooster" 4 port router. Almost brand new, in retail box. These routers support Micro DD-WRT. Great G routers

The only reason that I am parting with this, is I purchased a Linksys N router a couple of weeks ago.

Sold

This router doesn't support tomato, only DD-WRT Micro.

I wish tomato would release a version that worked with the 4MB routers.

So what versions do ?.

Nice price either way

newtekie1 · Apr 10, 2010, 02:48 AM

Versions 4 and earlier supported Tomato and the full version of DD-WRT, 5 and later only support DD-WRT Micro, which is still miles better than the stock VX-Works firmware and still very feature rich.

I upgraded and gave my GS to a friend after putting micro dd-wrt on it, works pretty well. Not sure what's micro about it, had an insane amount of features.

Thanks Newtekie! After doing a little research, your correct sir! None the less, the DD-WRT "Micro" is an awesome networking program

Definitely, don't get me wrong here, DD-WRT Micro still has a huge amount of features, and most importantly is extremely stable.

stinger608 · Apr 10, 2010, 04:30 PM

Oh no Newtekie, I wasn't saying that it doesn't have features, in fact just the opposite to be honest. I can't figure out why they call it "micro." LOLOL

AudiTuner · Apr 10, 2010, 04:33 PM

Great router, great seller!

Oh, I know you weren't, I just didn't want other people to take my comments the wrong way and think I was bashing the router or trying to put a negative on it. That is why I clearified that DD-WRT Micro is still extremely feature rich and stable.

My comments were intended to simply clearify and prevent confusion, but after re-reading them, I realized they might sound negative towards the router to people that aren't aware of DD-WRT Micro's features and that wasn't what I was intending.

stinger608 · Apr 10, 2010, 06:55 PM

Got ya man! At any rate, I really, really appreciate the help clearing up what will, and will not work on the router.

Actually after checking DD-WRT's site, it shows that it is fully supported!!!

Here is the link.

http://www.dd-wrt.com/site/support/router-database

Just type in the router (wrt54gs v 5.0)

Correct me if I am wrong Newtekie :-)

newtekie1 · Apr 10, 2010, 07:00 PM

When you actually click on the v5, it only gives you the option for the Micro firmware because of the 2mb flash.

If you click on one of the earlier version, it gives you a lot more firmware options because of the 4mb flash.

AudiTuner · Apr 11, 2010, 08:35 PM

DD-WRT is great firmware. I run three routers with it, one 320N as the main router and a 54GSv1 and 54Gv4 as range extenders. The uptime is great, I can have them up for a month plus without any issues. The DD-WRT features are great too. The daily bandwidth monior is a cool feature and there's plenty of others. I use the mini builds for all three routers and they have everything you could possibly want with a slew of great features. Definitely a great router to run DD-WRT on!

stinger608 · Apr 12, 2010, 12:08 PM

Thanks for the information Audi!

stinger608 · Apr 13, 2010, 03:59 AM

Okay everyone, I dropped the price down to $27.50 shipped

That is a killer deal for anyone needing a good router!

stinger608 · Apr 14, 2010, 01:33 AM

Ttt

LAN_deRf_HA · Apr 14, 2010, 01:52 AM

If it only support the one firmware you could put it on yourself.. I know some people hate going through the process.

AudiTuner · Apr 14, 2010, 01:54 AM

Eh, it's actually pretty easy.

theonedub · Apr 14, 2010, 02:05 AM

I will admit that I messed up once or twice when I put WRT on mine

, Stinger, a relative of mine might need this, but I wont know for sure until next week...

Munki · Apr 14, 2010, 02:21 AM

Just throwing this out there, you may want to edit your OP. It still says Tomato and Doesn't specify 'Micro' for DD-WRT firmware support.
