So would it be true that the real differnce is several chip funcions relocated to a signal chip and the processor going from 120 to 200MHz.
There are not practical differences, like new features, between them.
Is this correct? |

afaik yeah no diferences. since v2.00.8 firmware (for v2 WRT54G) can be used on the v1.0 and v1.1 |

Not sure what all is different, but here is a link about the chip that is in it. » www.embeddedstar.com/pre ··· 692.htmlI guess it also makes it cheaper for them to produce. |

Re: exterior or packaging differences?Is there any way (box markings, serial#, etc.) to determine whether you've got a v2 hardware revision without opening up the box?
Last year when I picked up a Netgear RP614 there was a small "v2" printed on the boxes containing the latest hardware.
There's a sticker on the bottom of my new WRT54G that says "ver 1.1" in addition to the MAC and serial#. The box says "WRT54G v1.1-PKG-30717B". |

On my v1.1 if you look at the bottom of the box near the bar code you see a sticker with the MAC addy and the serial number.
Next to that, printed on the box it says WRT54G v1.1-PKG-30717B.

Well, I should be tied to a chair and burned with lit cigarettes! You made me look! Mine says v2 on the unit also. Damn the deception! In other words: My bad! Regards KK |

Re: WRT54G and 1.0/1.1/2.0The only way to tell by not opening up the package itself is by its serial number. From what I have seen, all the v2 units have a CDF5xxxx serial number (starts with a digit 5). |

if you have one go here: » 192.168.1.1/SysInfo.htm it will tell you the hardware version. Change IP to your routers IP |
