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 instead of Linux.

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! -mj- Charles Lewton wrote: I notice

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. Dazed_75 wrote: > My recollection (frequently p

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. On Tue, Mar 17, 2009 at 7:30 AM, Eric Shubert wrote: > I know that there is a WRT5
