<title>Alternative to WRT54GL using DD-WRT?</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21200395</link>
<description><![CDATA[I have been using the WRT54GL for several years now (includes early v1, v2 WRT54G) and absolutely love these routers with DD-WRT firmware.  They just work and do everything I could ever need, business and home!  This router should be in the consumer electronics hall of fame.

So is there a newer Linksys product that does wireless N that I should be looking into?  It looks like the 300N is a contender but not enough information as to how reliable these things are.

Yea I know there were (are) other branded products based on the same board as the Linksys.  Linksys are the most easily found ones.]]></description>

<title>Which firmware</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21199251</link>
<description><![CDATA[I have a WRT54GL that I'd like to flash for added features. It's not clear to me which firmware to use.

Basically I would like to have

1. Multiple SSIDs (one for my private network at home, and one for public/anonymous access).

2. Keep the public/anonymous users out of my private subnet. I don't want someone connecting to the public/anonymous SSID and being able to ping anything that connected to the private SSID.

3. I'd like to limit the public/anonymous to a max number of connections, and max amount of bandwidth.

4. QoS to give priority to VOIP (and, hopefully, priority to the private SSID connections at the expense of the public/anonymous SSID connections).

Can someone tell me which of the firmwares would allow those features?

Thanks,
Mark]]></description>

<title>[DD-WRT] wrt54g v1.0  with dd-wrt 24 sp1</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21208460</link>
<description><![CDATA[Have a WRT54G v1.0 running dd-wrt 24 sp1. I can access the router via GUI but when I telnet to the router it asks for login then password but always returns Login Incorrect. I have tried the username and password as I set them and various combinations of "admin" and "root". No luck. Why can't i access the router via telnet? Telnet is enabled on the services page.

<title>WRT54GL stock fimware: Console?</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21225105</link>
<description><![CDATA[Does anyone with a *stock* WRT54GL know if there is a console on the device if you Telnet to the router's IP address?  If it does have one, is there any form of command to see a GPL license?  (I'm debating something with a coworker, and they say there is/must be some command, I'm in doubt that there is a console.  My WRT54GL is flashed with DD-WRT and I really don't feel like disrupting my home network by flashing back).

Thanks.]]></description>

<title>Connection Sharing Problem with WRT54G</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21207278</link>
<description><![CDATA[Hi all,

I'm currently using a WRT54G as a wired hub connecting my WinXp Professional PC on port 1, and my brothers PS3 on port 2. I'm using the Speedstream 4200 as my DSL modem feeding the 54G.

We both connect fine and internet connectivity is great, but whenever either of us try to play an online game it's nothing but constant disconnects for either of us if the other is browsing the web.

I'm at a total loss, as bandwidth is not an issue with my 3 meg line, so browsing the web on one machine should not be affecting the others ability to stay connected.

Are there any settings that I could try, either in the 4200, or in the WRT54G, that would alleviate this problem?]]></description>

<title>WAG54GS - How to set up as router only?</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21209254</link>
<description><![CDATA[Hi All,

I have a brand new Linksys WAG54GS that is refusing to connect to the ADSL line.
I have given up on it, and bought a D-Link ADSL modem that is working very well. However, I would like to use the WAG54GS as a router only, to share the ADSL line.
The problem is that I cannot find out how to do this.
I am sure someone has already written up this, and I would really appreciate any pointers.

Thanks,]]></description>

<title>WRT54GL - dropped file transfer normal?</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21163370</link>
<description><![CDATA[I am using a WRT54GL to connect two computers together in a home network as follows:

desktop ~ ethernet ~ WRT54GL ~ 802.11g ~ notebook

I set it to transfer a huge chunk of files (~44GB) from the desktop to the notebook overnight.

In the morning, I found it to have stopped at around 70%, and Task Manager (which was open) was frozen and would not come back. I had to literally Restart the notebook to get things working again, since Windows Explorer was also frozen. It cited something along the lines of a lost network connection. I tried to reconnect but, again, Windows Explorer had crashed.

What most likely caused this?

Could it be a faulty router? (too big/too much of a transfer?)
Or is it just a software (OS) issue?

---

Some details:

 The wireless signal has no SSID broadcast, is set to g-only, and the notebook receives an average 100% signal at a speed of >= 48Mbps.
 The transfer was running at ~2MB/s (or around 16Mb/s). This strikes me as slow, but it's more than likely just Vista and its typically slow network transfer speed.
 The router has the latest Linksys firmware.
 The desktop is running XP 32-b SP2, and the notebook Vista Business 32-b SP1.]]></description>

<title>[Wired] BEFSR41 cannot connect using PPPoE</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21218178</link>
<description><![CDATA[I have been working on this for two days and I'm going nuts!

I have been using this router with no problem for the past year.  It uses PPPoE with my username / password.

I requested an AT&T DSL speed upgrade a few weeks ago.  It hasn't come through yet.  So I connected my PC directly to the DSL modem to get a copy of all the modem settings and info so I could post a message to AT&T support here on the Direct forum.  I did not make any changes to the modem or the router.

When I reconnected the modem to the router, I could not get back on the Internet.  Again, nothing changed.  So now I have been looking all over to see what might have happened and I have no idea.  Even tried a new network cable.

If the modem is configured for DHCP I get an IP address right away (the same one the modem sees).  But I can't connect to the Internet with my PC.  If I switch to PPPoE, enter the username/password, then the router will not get an IP address.  The status is "connecting" and no error message comes up.

Can anyone HELP???!!!  Again, I didn't change any settings when this problem started.  All I did was swap the cables between my PC (going directly to the DSL modem) and router.  I am connected directly to the modem now and have no problems.

I have also tried to power everything down and up (except the modem since the tech is going to look at it and I don't want him to say that I haven't left it on long enough for the speed ramp-up "training").  No difference.

Thanks for any ideas.

<title>how to stop bittorrent downloads??</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21165095</link>
<description><![CDATA[ok i am running a wrt54gl with tomato firmware. I enabled QOS, set the rules for p2p, made port 80 highest priority..etc. It worked for a while but after a few days, he seem to have bypassed everything and still slows my connection down. I even tried to turn the uPnP off, but i still see his IP everywhere under detail list. and all the destinations are to p2p sites like bittorrent. 
 

is he using port forwarding to trick my router??

thanks for the help. ]]></description>
