The Linksys Wrt54g Series Router – Flashed
The Linksys Wireless-G Broadband Router is really three devices in one box. First, there’s the Wireless Access Point, which lets you connect Wireless-G or Wireless-B devices to the network. There’s also a built-in 4-port full-duplex 10/100 Switch to connect your wired-Ethernet devices. Connect four PCs directly, or daisy-chain out to more hubs and switches to create as big a network as you need. Finally, the Router function ties it all together and lets your whole network share a high-speed cable or DSL Internet connection, files, and other resources such as printers and hard disk storage space.
To protect your data and privacy, the Wireless-G Broadband Router can encode all wireless transmissions using 128-bit WEP encryption, and also supports industrial-strength Wi-Fi Protected Access(WPA) wireless security. The Router protects your PC from most known Internet attacks with a powerful Stateful Packet Inspection firewall. It can also serve as a DHCP Server, supports VPN pass-through, and can be configured to filter internal users’ access to the Internet. And even with all this power, set up is a snap with the web browser-based configuration utility.
With the Linksys Wireless-G Broadband Router at the center of your home or office network, you can share a high-speed Internet connection, files, printers, and multi-player games with the flexibility, speed, and security you need!
Thats how linksys describes their product.
What we did from this point on is we took the dd-wrt firmware and flashed the router. And thus, converting the $60 router into a $600 router.
DD-WRT version overview:
DD-WRT versions up to v22 were based on the Alchemy firmware from Sveasoft, which in turn is based on the original Linksys firmware.
DD_WRT versions from v23 onwards, however, are almost completely rewritten. The Linux Kernel part is based on the OpenWrt Kernel, which started as a Linksys-based firmware but later changed to its own build framework. All of the firmwares are based on the GNU/Linux platform, as are OpenWrt and Alchemy.
Special features not included in the original firmware includes Kai network, daemon, IPv6, Wireless Distribution System, RADIUS, advanced quality of service, radio output power control, overclocking capability, and software support for a Secure Digital Card hardware modification.
Releases
The major releases to date include:
DD-WRT v23 Service Pack 1 (SP1) was released on May 16 2006. Much of the code was overhauled and rewritten during the development of this release, and many new features were added.
DD-WRT v23 Service Pack 2 (SP2) was released on September 13 2006. The interface was overhauled, and some new features were added. Some additional router models are supported, with more planned. There is alpha support for some PowerPC and IXP425 based router boards, including the MagicBox embedded system.
DD-WRT v24 in beta development will eventually allow up to 16 virtual interfaces with different SSIDs and encryption protocols.
