I've been thinking about buying a WRT54G or GS router for quite some time now but tomsnetworking's test sais that it has very bad throughput in long range. How good is the range? Also heard about the freeze-problem on heavy-load, is it fixable and so on? Thanks in advance.
I have a WRT54GS v2.0 and am using DD-WRT v23 firmware. It is stable and reliable with more features than any router under $500. Do some research here because not all Linksys WRT54G/GS's are not equal. Also Toms Hardware is a great resource but tend not to evaluate third party firmware as this voids warranties and lacks corporate support. Good Luck. Hope this helps.
Thanks alot Doc for your fast answer! Can you say anything about the range? I life in a three-floored house so i need some range (though i'll use my old router as an ap ont the first floor).
i live ina 3 floor house. the main ap is in the top floor. then i have another in wds on the second. but once you get down to the bottom floor the signal starts to fade, but is still there.
the range is pretty good, i have these antennas http://www.linksys.com/servlet/Sate...829416&pagename=Linksys/Common/VisitorWrapper on long range like my backyard which is about 200 feet and going though 3 walls one brick wall it is about 5mbps and the signal is weak but i can still surf the net.
