I'm running a pair of WRT54GS routers for routing and a wireless bridge, and have been for a few years now.

Old 80s TV shows are just fine <grin>) Ron On Sat, Jul 3, 2010 at 3:09 PM, Brian Wall <kc0iog at gmail.com> wrote: > > >> On Fri, 2 Jul 2010 09:25:54 -0700 (PDT), Jeremy Olexa wrote: > >> >I didn't find stability in my linksys 54G *until* I started using > >> >alternative firmware. > >> > >> Exactly my experience > > > > Ditto.
