"All Linksys routers from the 54G up have Linux already"
Not true. Most Linksys 54G routers run VxWorks. Only versions 1-4 of the WRT54G series ran Linux. There are many Linksys Draft N routers that run chipsets that are not compatible with any Linux firmware, but meny are Broadcom based and are therefore compatible. Not sure what OS Cisco is using for those.
Regardless, countless of us have found that even the Linux-based Linksys firmwares are garbage. Put Tomato or DD-WRT on one of them, however, and they run like a champ.
- jpierce420 17y agoOh ok, sorry about that. I've never owned a 54G, and saw it listed in the Linksys GPL page for source code downloads, so I figured all versions ran it. I guess just some of them do. Thanks for the info!
