hey DD, no worries, i realised that back when i'd posted it, i'd seen some stuff on the net sating it could in fact be done and had forgotten to edit my post; i may have to try it out myself one of these days, though only just applied the latest Linksys firmware a week or 2 ago and it's been stable as per usual so happy to leave it be for now..
You should do the DD-WRT anyway. It kicks the power up something huge. My PS3 signal went from mid 60% area to over 95% all the time. I had that signal maxed out one day and it went for about 1/4 of a mile. Its a MAJOR improvement over the Linksys fw. But hey, if it aint broke, dont fix it!!! ~Rich
Let me know if you need a good tut. I found one a while back that was super simple, and saved it somewhere at home. It had pictures and all! I know how you like pictures..... ~Rich
@creaky I still have all the sites/guides I used on my v5 router to get DD-WRT going bookmarked. Have fun Here is a excellent guide which tells you how to install DD-WRT(micro) on a version 5 or 6 WRT54G/GS router completely through software. Again it's a excellent guide and I used it to easily flash my micro DD-WRT
the guide PeaInAPod posted is the one i used to get dd-wrt on my wrt54gs the first time. but unfortunately, it didn't have my router's MAC address; telnet didn't save the settings, and it wouldn't connect to the internet. so i had to redo the whole firmware flash. my router thinks it's a regular wrt54g now. fortunately, i was still able to enable the 16mb of ram. :] THIS guide was more detailed, and provided pictures, so it's easier to understand.
Just noticed i hadn't provided an update to my escapes into DD-WRT territory, it's here = http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_jump.cfm/608960/3706871
