Linksys WRT54GS and OpenWRT

By Ulisses Furquim

I’ve recently bought a Linksys WRT54GS v4 wireless router and installed OpenWRT last saturday. OpenWRT is really neat and its web interface does exactly what you want. Another point worth mentioning is that ipkg seems to work flawlessly (so far). It’s nice to see projects like this one because we can see that Linux supports more hardware than anyone else (Greg KH is just right) and we can make very good GNU/Linux systems to fit whatever our needs are. Cool!

    I have one WRT54GL and installed DD-WRT on it. Between its goodies:

    - over/underclock of CPU
    - increase/decrease transmit power of wifi antennas
    - bridge mode
    - up to 15 different virtual wifi networks
    - ssh (yes!)
    - realtime charts of radio signal quality of connected clients
    - p2p protocols filtering
    - and much more!

    It has an active community, as also great documentation. If your device is supported, is also a good alternative.

    Best Regards

    Hi Adenilson,

    yes, I know dd-wrt and it is a really good project. I haven’t installed it on my wireless router because it has given me no trouble so far and so I don’t want to mess with it. Thanks for the comment, anyway. :-)
