As the title says, does anyone happen to have an old linksys wrt54g wireless router they want to sell or get rid of? I am looking for one to replace a Crapty wireless bridge. I am willing to pay up to $25.
-
I do, but the wireless on it seems to have stopped working. I can see the wireless network, try to connect to it, but never receive an IP. I tried different encryption/broadcast settings and none of them worked, even making it a wide open network. So if the wireless isn't working for me, I don't think you'd want it.
-
If yer trying to get rid of it still let me know. I probably wouldn't pay anything for it since the wireless isn't working, but I may be able to use it elsewhere. Let me know either way.
-
I had a Netgear, I don't think I threw it out. I will look a bit. It is either 54 or 108 not exactly sure.

routers only go up to 108 Mb/s when you use a router and adapter from the same brand and they have the same compression technology. 54 Mb/s is as fast as the G standard goes.

I have a g standard and it can go 108MB/sec doesn't the N go faster then that! look at my specs

Wireless N goes up to 300MB/s. I can get about 130MB/s at the moment. But back on topic, to honest I am thinking I did throw that router out.

I wanted a wrt54g specifically. Thanks anyway!

What are you planning on using it for?

But to get the 108 you have to have a D-Link adapter with the 108G wireless compression built into it. As I said the standard 802.11g only goes to 54 Mb/s. Source (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/802.11#802.11g)

What are you planning on using it for?
DD-WRT!

I am asking him. Is that really what he is going to do with it?

Yeah, actually Tomato using it as a bridge. My Netgear bridge blows donkey balls. Keep getting very slow speeds (or what seems to be) from my xbox. I get disconnected from Live far too often. Plus I don't like the way the bridge 'acts' on the network. It is supposed to be 'invisible' per say but I have issues forwarding ports to any addresses behind it. So, I figure if I have two of the same or near the same model of router witht he same firmware it would 'play nice' with the rest of the network.

I see what your saying now. you started off saying routers only go up to 54. thats why i was like what mine can go 108. Just a bit of misunderstanding.

Dude, get a Netgear WNR834Bv2. They're apparently just as compatible with DD-WRT, have wireless-N, and you can probably find one for a decent price.
I've got two old-school (pre-vxworks) WRT54GS's and I wouldn't give them up for anything. You can't really find the good versions anymore.

Well, actually....I acquired a version 8 wrt54g and I did get the mini DDWRT image on there and it works like a charm. All I wanted out of it was the wireless bridge functionality out of it and it works perfectly!
