Q. I'm selling a linksys wrt54gs wireless router and I have a lot of people asking me about the first 4 s/n and I was wondering what the first 4 s/n means to them. I'm clueless on how to ask this question.
A. Linksys sold many different products that were all called the "WRT54GS" router. The buyers want to know which WRT54GS they're buying.
For example, if your serial number prefix is CGN0, your router has 32MB of RAM. But if it's CGNE, it only has 16MB. If your serial number prefix is CGN5, you have a 200MHz CPU. If it's CGNB, you have a 240MHz CPU.
When an older part becomes unavailable or a newer part is less expensive, the manufacturer switches to the newer part. But they don't want to have to create a new part number, do new advertising, or make new arrangements with their customers. So they switch the design of the device and fill existing orders with something different. Most end users don't care so long as the products work mostly the same. However, woth things like routers, the older versions tend to not get new firmware or tend to be missing features that were added later.

What routers have the best distance for a reasonable price?
Q. I am currently using the Linksys WRT54G with DD-WRT firmware and the distance isn't that great. I can pick up someones Belkin G Plus MIMO Router in my area better then my own home router.
I am looking at 1 of those for myself. Can anyone recommend a router with great distance? Thanks

My linksys wrt54g router will not show up when connected to my computer through cable.?
Q. I have a linksys wrt54g router version 6 that will not work. the power light is flashing and the port 1,2,3,4 and internet light are on constantly. when i plug the router into my computer through an ethernet cable, none of my computers will "see" it. i think the firmware was delete. Is there any way to fix this?
A. It could be the router is faulty, or the power supply is dying.
I've seen the odd router not work properly because the power supply started to act up. However, you can only try the same supply from the same router,if you want to test this theory. You have to find someone with a wrt54g, and borrow their power supply for 5 minutes, that will tell right away...
If I recall correctly, that is a 12VDC, 0.5A (500mA) supply. Any good supply at 12VDC, around 1.0A will do for a test. make sure it is "DC", not "AC", and only 12V

How do i get this firmware off my LinkSys Wireless WRT54GS?
Q. I flashed the dd_wrt_micro firmware to my router hoping it would fix my problem. It didn't! I have a LinkSys WRT54GS v5 Wireless router and now I can not connect to the internet through it. How do I replace dd_wrt_micro with the original LinkSys firmware?
