	WRT54G - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The WRT54G is famous for being the first consumer-level network device that had its firmware source code released to satisfy the obligations of the GNU GPL.
		Later revisions increased the CPU speed to 200 MHz, and the later Linksys firmware overclocks the MIPS processor to 216 MHz to resolve stability issues.
		With the switch to the VxWorks software with v5 and newer of the WRT54G and GS, replacing the previous Linux software, very high numbers of users are reporting problematic wireless connections.

	Tone's Notes - Configuring a LinkSys WRT54G as a Wireless Ethernet Bridge
		This is possible using 3rd party firmware (sveasoft) which allows the wrt54g to operate in "client" mode, where it forwards packets from its connected devices to the main wireless router, using a wireless link.
		I got my wrt54g running in client mode - that is, it serves as a bridge between a PC attached to it and the main wireless router.
		A single wrt54g (with the right firmware) can operate as a "client" of any other wireless router, and create a bridge so any device connected to it will be able to access your network and the internet.

	HSMM Equipment: Linksys WRT54G / APRS / Telpac Project (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		The Linksys WRT54G is a strong candidate for part 97 operation.
		A possible use for the WRT54G is to create a standalone APRS digipeater and Internet Gateway.
		When combined with the wireless bridging capability that already exists in the WRT54G, this would provide a way to deploy more, cheaper APRS digis while eliminating the radio traffic between the digi and a separate internet gateway.

	I, Cringely . May 27, 2004 - The Little Engine That Could \| PBS (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		For the first time in telephone history, the U.S. is each year using fewer telephone numbers than it did the year before as people scrap their fixed phones for mobile ones and give up their fax lines in favor of Internet file attachments.
		Ah yes, the Internet is itself a disruptive technology, and where we'll see the WRT54G and its brethren shortly begin to have startling impact.
		You see, it isn't what the WRT54G does that matters, but what it CAN do when reprogrammed with a different version of Linux with different capabilities.

	Linksys WRT54G Wireless-G Router - Review : Networking - CNET Asia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		The WRT54G is no exception: A tabbed, browser-based utility provides access to all the router's features, with the basic settings summarized in the top Setup tab.
		In Wireless-G mode, the WRT54G averaged 15.6Mbps, a little more than three times the speed of the fastest 802.11b router we've tested and fairly close to the real-world speeds of 802.11a, which hover around 20Mbps.
		The biggest problem with the WRT54G, however, was that when we tested the device with both 802.11b and Wireless-G clients simultaneously, throughput devolved to roughly 6.7Mbps, closer to the real-world performance that's typical of 802.11b devices.

	The Open Source WRT54G Story
		The story of the Linksys Wireless-G Router (model WRT54G) and how you can turn a $60 router into a $600 router is a little bit CSI and a little bit Freaks and Geeks.
		The WRT54G was released in 2003 in anticipation of the 802.11g standard, with its theoretical maximum bandwidth of 54Mbps compared to 802.11b’s 11Mbps.
		In many respects the WRT54G is a typical wireless router –; it accepts an incoming broadband link such as cable or DSL and shares it between its built-in four-port Ethernet switch and antennae for broadcasting the signal to wireless clients.

	Network Duffer Seeks to use BEFSR41 & WRT54G in same network. - The macosxhints Forums
		In configuring the WRT54G, it seems I have to power cycle the whole network - not just the WRT54G - relatively often (after each change, for example) for changes in the WRT54G's settings to be acknowledged.
		When configuring the WiFi settings on the WRT54G, be sure to TURN OFF AIRPORT on in-range Macs, or you'll have to reset the router to factory settings many times on your way to figuring out the need to do this.
		WRT54G can be configured very nicely from Safari if you connect to it by straight through Ethernet cable, direct from the Mac to the WRT54P

	The Open Source WRT54G Story - WinPlanet Windows Software Reviews
		The WRT54G is stacked high in every Best Buy and Circuit City across the country and, of course, most online retailers — Amazon.com, for example, sells it for $55.
		In June 2003 some folks on the Linux Kernel Mailing List sniffed around the WRT54G and found that its firmware was based on Linux components.
		The real deal is what the WRT54G can do, with the right replacement firmware, that you’d only expect to find on a commercial-grade router costing several times as much.

	How to hack the Wireless Fantastic (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		Underneath the hood of the WRT54G is a 200MHz MIPS processor running Linux and anywhere from 16 to 32MB of RAM and 4 or 8MB of Flash RAM.
		The de facto "God" of WRT54G hacking is a group calling themselves Sveasoft.
		On the hardware side of things, since many consumer-grade Wi-Fi routers are based around Broadcom's chipsets and reference design, it may be possible to load up SveaSoft or OpenWrt on certain, but not all, G devices from Apple, Belkin, Dell, and Microsoft.

	Kismet on the Linksys WRT54G - Rasmus' Toys Page (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		The little Linksys WRT54G box is a terrific generic Linux platform to run just about any networking code on.
		Drone always appears to start-up fine on the wrt54g, but when I start-up the kismet server on my Debian box, I get errors on both the drone and server side.
		I have kismet_drone running on my WRT54G V2 and detecting various AP's, but kismet_drone is not reporting signal power levels or noise level back to remote kismet server.

	Linux on the WRT54G
		This is a mini Linux distribution for the Linksys wrt54g.
		I've still been too busy to do much with my wrt54g, but I've had some feedback that Linksys may have finally closed the "ping bug" that allowed me to install my distribution so if you are thinking about upgrading, keep that in mind.
		On further investigation, it appears as if both cases were due to the fact that the WAN port on their wrt54g had not been configured.

	Boing Boing: The great Linksys WRT54G debate
		Linksys was using embedded Linux for the WRT54G gateway, a Wi-Fi access point, router, and Ethernet switch, that sells for as low as $50 these days.
		A couple of years ago, Linksys and Broadcom (the company that makes the device's Wi-Fi chips and created the reference platform that Linksys uses) were pushed to meet GNU and other license terms and release the modified OS and accompanying packages.
		Now folks who hack the WRT54G with their own firmware noticed that newer models stopped allowing these hacks and were, in fact, now running the proprietary VxWorks OS.

	LinksysWrt54g - Seattle Wireless
		To calculate it for the original Linksys WRT54G firmware, first strip the trailing 992 bytes (padding) of the file.
		If Linksys ever DOES add client support to their WAP54 product, we should be able to copy the driver over to the WRT54 as well (the 1.02 firmware of both products use identical driver modules) We may even be able to modify the firmware file and upload it to the WRT54 box.
		Answer: Well, if you consider the WRT54G as "a whole unit", that implies that because it has a bit of GPL stuff, it should all be GPLd.

	Linksys WRT54G: An Upgrade That's A Downgrade - Works For Me - Network Computing
		The Cisco Linksys WRT54G is one of the most popular SOHO 802.11 b/g wireless routers available.
		The comments were all consistent: people complained that their WRT54G v5 products were unstable, whereas their WRT54G v4 products were highly stable.
		Since my local Wal-Mart carried the WRT54G v4, I eagerly replaced the router, and for the last 10 days it has indeed been reliable, with not a single glitch of any kind.

		LINKSYS WRT54G - Wireless-G is the emerging 54 Mbps wireless networking standard that's almost five times faster than the widely deployed Wireless-B (802.11b) products found in homes, businesses and public wireless hotspots around the country.
		I bought my WRT54G and WPC54G back in Jan/Feb. I had a wired Linksys 4-port router for YEARS and it was a SOLID performer.
		The upgrade is mandatory for many 802.11b devices to hear the WRT54G and I believe it's the standard shipping firmware now.

	Linksys courts Linux hackers with WRT54G"L"
		The L version is identical to the "series 4" WRT54G units that Linux hobbyists have long enjoyed hacking, according to the company.
		The new, VxWorks-based WRT54G "series 5" models have 2MB of Flash, and 8MB of RAM, compared with 4MB of Flash and 16MB of RAM in the earlier, Linux-based versions.
		Although the "series 5" devices offer Linux hobbyists less elbow room to load alternative firmware (assuming they could get around the bootloader to install it), it seems likely the hacker community will rise to the challenge.
