Product Description
The Linksys WRT54GL Wireless-G Broadband Router combines the functionalities of three devices into a single device, a wireless access point, a four-port full-duplex 10/100 Mbps switch and a router. The wireless access point lets you connect Wireless-G or Wireless-B devices to the network while the switch connects your wired-Ethernet devices together. The router function ties it all together by letting your whole network share a high-speed cable or DSL Internet connection. The push button setup feature makes it easy to configure your wireless devices. The router serves as a DHCP server, includes an SPI firewall to protect against Internet intruders and also supports VPN pass-through. The WRT54GL even features TKIP and AES to protect your data and privacy with up to 128-bit encryption. 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 flexibility, speed, security and simplicity.

 Excellent Linux router August 13, 2008
Dale Konle (Concord, WI USA)
This router was purchased for our Community center. I immediately installed DD-WRT firmware. The router covers the whole building which formerly was a one story four room rural school with a gym. It has been in operation for about a month with out any problems. It is setup with remote web administration to avoid a trip to the building to check on it.
Good With Stock Firmware - Great With Open Source August 2, 2008

If you are interested at all in security and special features, this is the router to get - and then replace the stock firmware with one of the open source versions. I went with Tomato and have been completely amazed. It's Linux, runs IPTables, supports port knocking, logs incoming/outgoing data rates, logs blocked incoming/outgoing packets, allows you to limit incoming connections by source IP, and so on.
I am using this as the router just in from my DSL modem and have a webcam linked in wirelessly and restricted to just being watched from my work IP address. Running against Steve Gibson's Shields-Up, if I allow his IP and forward the port, it sees the port just fine. If I take GRC's IP out, it's as if there was no web server up at all. Totally hidden.
Even if you aren't sure which router to get, spend the extra $15 or so and get this one because if you ever do want to get the hot setup, this one lets you do it. Worst case, you have a really good router in its own right. But install other firmware (easy) and you can have features that commercial routers for businesses have.
Good so far July 31, 2008

Only one reason to buy this July 28, 2008

Open firmware is the ONLY reason to buy this router. Sure it's a great router, but at this point it's more than a bit behind the times. If you don't plan on putting one of the many open source after market firmwares on this you really should look elsewhere.
If you are looking to put after market firmware (ex: DD-WRT) on a router then look no further. I've flashed 4 or 5 of these guys at this point without any problems. Each time I keep expecting to get burned but it hasn't happened yet.
I use DD-WRT and have found that it offers SIGNIFICANTLY more functionality and control than more modern routers costing 4-5x what the WRT54GL does.
Great for novice users when combined with Tomato firmware July 27, 2008

The GL model is a great unit to combine with the Tomato firmware. http://www.polarcloud.com/tomato
Don't be afraid to download and upgrade from the stock firmware, you will be glad you did.
