Question on Linksys Router WRT54G or WRT54GS Hardware version.

I contacted Linksys with little success.



I have a Speedbooster Router that is a version 4 model (as can be seen next to the model number under the unit).



The latest version out is a version 6. I can get one of these free and swap my version 4 for a version 6. (Again talking about HW version, not SW binary version of firmware).



Anyone know the difference between version 4 and version 6?



Thank you Patty

Why the swap? See the wikipedia page for hardware version info:

If you're not using it for anything other than what the stock firmware provides then it might not matter. But if you wanted to use a 3rd party firmware for added features then it's best to stick with version 4 or earlier units.

Which if you're not going to explain is likewise foolish.

It's not foolish to not explain them if you don't know what they are. ;^)
