Be sure that you hold down the reset button until the lights flash to reset.
Try both 192.168.0.1 and 192.168.1.1 with the ethernet device plugged in, and
get an automatic DHCP address.
Once you get into it, flash it with this?
I know that there is a WRT54GL model as well. Is the WRT54G capable of
running various WRT firmwares like the GL model?
Also, there a slew of different WRT54G versions (hardware). How
significant are the variations is versions WRT (with respect to) free

MOst G models I have seen users with are version 5. These seem to be
difficult to do anything with ; they can't run firmwares like tomato, just
the light version of dd-wrt.
I'm stuck with a G.
This is all iirc.

Hmmm. I have a v2.1 that I'm using locally (on IPCop orange for in-house
internet access), and a v3.1 which was given to me after it no longer
was able to pick up an IP address from Cox (dhcp issue). I was thinking
of perhaps toying with the v3.1.

soemthing else to consider, if you get to the point of ending the
device is to try the ddwrt firmware, its a tailored linux distribution
for the wrt routers. http://www.dd-wrt.com/dd-wrtv3/index.php
it might be one last item to save the device before you decide its a brick.

one other thought at least for me is to get a cheap machine or
leftover machine and some old nics and run smoothwall then add a WAP
to it for wireless... my little gateway is getting downright

Wow! What a lot of posts! Thanks to all who responded--looks like I
have several things to try.
FWIW, my WRT54G has a space then a V8 following the model number, so I
guess that it's a version 8. It also responds to a ping to 192.168.1.1.
Thanks again!

All my Linksys WRT54G's and the one WRT54GL I have always had that

Version number is everything with the G's. All of the newer ones (past
few years) all use a different, unsupported chip and now all run VxWorks

though it looks like you can use VxWorks Killer on some of the newer

I agree! These routers are great tools!
