In my area, the WRT54GL was $129 versus the WRT54GS at $59 – in my area, both models are no longer sold in stores.
Also important to note that the perpetually reblogged ‘DD-WRT’ solutions only work with certain hardware revisions of certain models of Linksys WRT routers. My WRT54GS was NOT compatible with DD-WRT due to my hardware version being unsupported. I did not ignore DD-WRT information: I already owned my WRT54GS when I read about DD-WRT.
Personally, I like things that work, but we must use some sense to not imply everyone can do this with what they have on hand. Blogging shouldn’t promote obfuscation.
