The price is roughly the same in Nehru Place (might be slightly cheaper), but the problem is the market is flooded with the v5 model, which can only run DD-WRT micro as it has half the flash and RAM. It is slightly more tricky to reflash, and can be turned into a brick if the reflash is incorrectly performed. I have not been able to find the L model (equivalent to the v4) anywhere, short of ordering it from Mumbai. Same with the Asus WL500g.

[ilugd] WRT54GL
Just for information sake I bought a Linksys WRT54GL wifi router recently and would recommend anyone who is looking to purchase a new router for SOHO use to go for it. Other than the fact that it boldly says open source inside and actually running a Linux kernel I am currently using it for the following setup. 1. One VOIP phone wired connection. 2. One work laptop wired connection running VPN 3. Laptop on wifi running skype, bittorrent and usual surfing. I am basically using the advanced QOS feature of DD-WRT which is the opensource firmware I have flashed the router with. The basic priority list is as follows: 1. MAC priority premium to VOIP phone 2. MAC priority express to office laptop 3. Bittorent traffic bulk priority 4. HTTP/HTTPS with standard priority Therefore I have actually called people to solve work related problems on the VOIP phone while working on the office laptop while my bittorrent download was going on with no bandwidth throttling configured on the application level. To compare I had initially run the router with the original Linksys firmware and I found that no amount of tweaking the parameters could stop my bittorrent traffic to not gobble up all the bandwidth.

Mithun / Hi, The WRT54GL is best used when you replace the stock firmware with OpenWRT (www.openwrt.org) or DD-WRT. It opens up a whole new range of possibilities. Some other firmwares Ive tested it with are Coova (www.coova.org), FON (www.fon.com) Zonerider (www.zonerider.net) for instant Hotspots catch ya later (Ive gotta UnWire Life!!!) shiv __ Do You Yahoo!?
