    Yes, the Linksys WRT54G V5 Really Is a Lousy Router

    This is what I love about the Open Source Hardware Hacking Community, their imagination and resourcefulness knows no bounds. Linksys: "Err terribly sorry chaps, we know you've been having fun hacking our routers around, but we can't condone that sort of thing, it might cut into low end Cisco...

    Yes, the Linksys WRT54G V5 Really Is a Lousy Router

    Some points. 1stly it’s hardly fair to blame Linksys for your ISP blocking http connections to your address. 2ndly try running your web server on a different port as they’re probably just blocking connections to port 80, then you give out your web address as...

    I've never herd of any successful attempts to run custom code on the BEFSRxx family of routers and I've been looking. (assuming that's the router you talking about, it's ambiguous in your post)

    Yes, the Linksys WRT54G V5 Really Is a Lousy Router

    Couple of points I'd like to make / clear up as this is a useful thread that will probably turn up in many a search in the future. 1. the BEFSR41 doesn't use the same firmware as the WRT54G, in-fact, according to Linksys, it doesn't even use GPL'd code. 2. it's possible to work out how many...

    No problem, I too think small and low power consumption is cool (the later in a rather more literal sense) if you want an 'all in one box' solution you can still roll your own and use a low profile PCI ADSL card like http://www.traverse.com.au/productview.do?product_id=21...

    That's a P4 right? It'll be doing wonders for your electricity bill. One of the reasons those products are in my bookmarks is that, with the exception of the KuroBox, they're all x86 and should run (probably with some tweaking) any of the various router OSes. I've not tried pfSense but if it...

    Whoa man you sound angry. if your geek enough for it (that's not an insult round here) why not roll your own using something like http://www.pcengines.ch/index.htm http://www.soekris.com/products.htm http://www.ampro.com/index.html http://www.kurobox.com/ http://gumstix.com/index.html The...

    Yes, the Linksys WRT54G V5 Really Is a Lousy Router

    Great article, I narrowly avoided getting a v5 a while back before I knew they'd been crippled, I've got a 54G v2 and 54GL v1, but they're only acting as access points. Another vote for DD-WRT here, and as others have pointed out they have a micro version that will run on the v5...
