Re: Most reliable and speedy variety of WRT54G for Toomato/MLPPP
All WRT models that can run Tomato/MLPPP are exactly the same specification wise. The only one currently on sale is the WRT54GL, so there is simply no choice in the matter.
There are routers from various other brands, but we did all our development and testing on the WRT54GL, so it's the preferred choice.
To answer your points:
1) Should not be dependent on router model
2) I don't believe Tomato/MLPPP runs on any routers that have gigabit, so they're all the same in that regard
3) Tomato in general provides better performance than the original firmware on any hardware
4) WPA2 support is software-dependent, so won't change depending on router. Routers also may not have sufficient CPU power to do both WPA2 and MLPPP if you're bonding multiple links.
5) QoS is done in software, and so the model/brand again doesn't matter.
Most of your points are done by the firmware in software, so the point would be if a given firmware supports it, not if the routers do.
5-2) Tomato/MLPPP doesn't run on any 802.11n routers
6) I can't comment on any other models. This actually would possibly change based on harwdare
7) This can be done on any router, it's a dropdown.
Best price you can get the WRT54GL for is $50 before tax/shipping. There were some on sale for $40 for a whiel, but I think that sale is over. |
