They do have a GS though. Other thought will they refund or just exchange?

Thanks

They allow all the 3rd party firmware upgrades. After 30 days, my advice changes. In the first 30 days of a Circuit City no questions asked return policy, this is a no brainer. Take it back. Later...

I have 2 more weeks before my 30 days is up so should I return it for a different one? Will I be able to find a v4 at Circuit City or should I get a different model?

My opinion, get one of the models that have the linux firmware base so you can upgrade the firmware with all the 3rd party that is available. ..
DD-WRT recently came out with a firmware version for the V5.
Yep, and you need the JTAG cable and have to crack it open to flash it. Too much trouble, IMO.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,15873899 Tue, 11 Apr 2006 11:11:59 EDT Re: [Wireless] Need a replacement for WRT54G v5 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,15872902 YeOldeStonecat :

My opinion, get one of the models that have the linux firmware base so you can upgrade the firmware with all the 3rd party that is available. There is plenty of posts on which ones can take the firmware. Definatly use the 30 day money back on this. Later...

A lot of help that was. When I go the »:/ /192.168.1.1 and enter my password I get a blank screen. I have tried to flash it using tftp.exe and it returned an error "Disk full or allocation exceeded". This has been working for 2 weeks and now this. Any suggestions on a way to fix this or should I go into Circuit City for a replacement?

Thanks!
