where to find an older version of a linksys router

Hi, I found one v.4 from eBay.

Ummm... eBay perhaps. A search for WRT54G shows 205 hits, with a substantial number listing the version number (in various ways) in the title line.

Also, be advised that the same Broadcom chipset is used in other products that can run alternative firmware:

OpenWRT: |

DD-WRT: |

I guess you are fine with a WRT54GL which is available on the internet. This seems to be the same as the older GS3 type. I have one and it works fine with the DD-WRT firmware.

Thanks for responding, everyone! The WRT54GS v2.1 (or v3) is a bit different than the WRT54G versions. I guess what I'm looking for is a source for older linksys routers (in new, or nearly new condition)...

Thanks again!

I have to wonder why you don't just buy em brand spanking new at walmart for $48.... I got three v3's (s/n starts with CDF8...) last week.. Amazing that people don't even try a walmart, but go to best buy or CC.... Want something older and cheap? Try wally world (walmart)

Little cheat sheet for ya...
