WRT54GL hardware revisions

Dec 23, 2006 2 Replies

I'm interested in this router/AP as it can be used with various third party firmware. AIUI both 1.0 and 1.1 hardware revisions can be used with the likes of Tomato and DD-WRT. So for buying new, it seems the best bet. Can anyone confirm if this is the case and if there are newer versions >1.1 and if they are to be avoided. Also I'd be interested in recommendations for any other alternative _current_ AP/router models that will run these firmwares.



Thanks for any help.

I suggest looking into the Buffalo WHR-HP-G54 router with DD-WRT v23 SP2. Works nicely for me.

Also, see the list of supported hardware:

Thanks Jeff. With the amplifier The Buffalo WHR-HP-G54 looks like a nice wifi router.
