Re: Success with WRT54GX Firmware on Belkin Pre-N!
I went ahead and flashed to the WRT54GX. Worked perfectly. Preserved all my "belkin" settings. WPA/Radius with AES works fine with my RADIUS server.
One difference. With belkin firmware, you use the WAN port to connect to your local LAN when running in AP-only mode. With Linksys firmware, you must use a LAN port when running in AP mode, and leave the WAN port unused (If anyone learns otherwise, let us know  ). This is pretty standard for Linksys as that is how the WRT54G and GS models worked.
Also, the DHCP server address range settings are not picked up correctly. Since I disabled DHCP, it didn't make any difference. But those who use the built-in DHCP server will need to adjust the values.
After I run for a while and make sure everything is hunky dorey, I'll try to flash back to Belkin firmware. I see no reason why that wouldn't work, though.
I'm posting this msg from my Dell laptop connected to the Pre-N with Linksys firmware. So its working fine at the moment.
This is very cool.
