help in choosing which WRT54G

Here is what I have so far...

one WRT54G (v3) + one WRT54G (v1.1)

What I want to do:
use one unmodified WRT54G as the main router; the other modified one to be a client (to be put in another room to distribute wired connections);

Can anybody see a problem here? the WRT54G with v1.1 is the only one I can find in the store...all of the other models are v3. should I keep my v1.1 or exchange it for a v3?

which firmware should i load and into which box i should load it?

Thanks in advance.

I'd load up Alchemy or Talisman on those routers and you can do pretty much anything you want. I see no reason to keep a router "unmodified". I'd flash some Sveasoft on both of them. -- CCNA Training in Progress - Webmaster of WRT54G.com

Everything but Talisman is free. V3 requires one of the newer firmwares. HyperWRT is a good pick. Alchemy seems to work on 3.0. Although not officially, just ask linksysinfo and see what he says. Anyway, if you want the fancy features, you'll probably need Alchemy. *waits for DD-WRT link* I have some info on my site (see below).
