Have an old Router? You can make it useful

(1/1)

Resolute:
If you have a router model such as:

Linksys:
WRT54G v1-4
WRT54GS v1-4
WRT54GL v1.x
WRTSL54GS

Buffalo:
WHR-G54S
WHR-HP-G54
WZR-G54
WBR2-G54
WBR-G54
WZR-HP-G54
WZR-RS-G54
WZR-RS-G54HP
WVR-G54-NF
WHR2-A54-G54
WHR3-AG54

Asus:
WL500G Premium
WL500GE
WL520GU

Sparklan:
WX6615GT

Fuji:
RT390W

Microsoft:
MN-700

Then you are in luck. You can install custom firmware on it. These models are all supported by

Tomato http://www.polarcloud.com/tomato

This can either be good experience or added functionality to that router. So it might just be still useful. If this does not satisfy your needs then feel free to check out the other
firmwares that are out there such as:

DD-WRT
OpenWRT
OpenWRT with X-WRT web interface
(use google to find them)

which I have all used. I say Tomato first cause it is one of the easiest and user friendly ones and the list of models here may not apply to the other firmware. Also like all of them say, try at your own risk.

Yup, cause I have a WRT54G v2.2 currently running on Tomato (stable+easy) and since Linksys doesn't update stock firmware anymore for it, I found these to be much better.
