Linksys - WRT54G

>"*They look a lot cooler now than back in the day.*" Some of us actually like the look of the o.g. Linksys WRT54G from 20 years ago. https://preview.redd.it/od03mx6a99ff1.jpeg?width=2800&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d4d1b717e3a99e538c70937c34673fbb5944e229

Long live the king! Long live WRT54G!

I still have an OG WRT54G in the attic in a box.  Also the AC 1900 TMobile Personal Hotspot, reflashed to what it is, a rebranded RT-AC68U, it's working flawlessly as a wifi mesh node. 

Worst idea ever. Been linksys for years nothing but problems. I have run servers in the past and networking is major hobby.

Still has a valid niche for the 100 of us trying to keep our old Nintendo DS systems online. As well as the Wii crowd who won't just buy a compatible LAN dongle.

Talk your shit, but the WRT54G will always be the king.

I've done this for years with a WRT54G running DDWRT. Just put it in Repeater Bridge mode

wrt54g is probably enough

You can't even buy the WRT54G. I know because I still hoard a stack of WRT54G-L's in storage because I loved them so much I couldn't part ways with them. That being said get one of the Asus models in the $100 price range. They're perfectly capable and running Merlin firmware can do so much more.

Oh the good ol' days. As bandwidth increased though, I learned that those wrt-54g routers only had a throughput of about 25Mbps, even with a 100Mbps WAN port. Had to upgrade....
