First of all, Linux rapes Windows hands down, I once used my linux server for some DHCP stuff and it worked flawless no problems perfectly.

Now, whoever said they didn't to install the firmware on their Linksys (Pronounced Leenk Sis) WRT54G, which seems to be a kickass router, you will not run into any problems, at least I didn't. I was at a friends apartment and I was netstumbling and came upon a WRT54G. I connected and sat right in front of their apartment surfing the web. Then, I got bored so I attempted a login to the router. 192.168.1.1 and using no username, and admin password. Login success. So thats how I realized it was a WRT54G so I went over to the website for the firmware and downloaded and installed it all from their own connection Wink. No problems at all and yes it has tons of features. I increased the broadcast power to 125% or something like that, which helped a bit regarding range, but might possibly be against FCC regulations I don't know.

I also enabled the telnet server and logged in. I was almost able to replace some images with home made ones, I made one that said *s#!7, but permission nonsense. But the point is, there were no problems and it worked fine. I am not sure if you can reset using the button and it will work again, but my experience was good!

LONG LIVE NETGEAR!!!!!! King
