Guys..
I bought linksys WRT54G2 a month ago..I just updated my firmware. and then I go to google and search for alternative firmware. I found OpenWRT. I want to ask u about the diff both and what is the pros and cons ? Is OpenWRT compatible with my linksys ? because my friend told me that linksys type WRT54GS can be updated by more than 2 diff type of firmwares. Is it true? because I've never tried it.. thanks for the sharing.
