    WRT54G - Help me choose 3rd party firmware

    thnks for the tip, MikeS...

    Managing WRT54G with one wireless PC ONLY, doable or asking 4 trouble?

    joamon... yeah, I know what you mean...there are at least two of them which are totally unsecure...and since Im only interested in internet access, even 802.11B is more than fine. I even managed the router on one of the unsecure AP's...standard factory IP address, standard admin login name...

    WRT54G issues

    sounds like a problem Ive been having...lemme ask you a couple of questions... 1- Does this seem to happen most often when a large amount of traffic is passing through the r0outer...like while using a p2p program (shareaza, edonkey, gnutella), downloading via IRC, bittorrent, or similar...

    Help...Bridging WRT54G + Netgear WGR614 802.11g routers
