try doing a complete reset and try again. i read somewhere that you need to reboot to make it work
Another thing to remember, it helps to do a complete hard reset after you upgrade. Hold the reset button down about 30 seconds. This will reset all settings to the firmware default. Otherwise sometiems you have leftover settings from old versions of firmware that can screw things up.
n/m... wrong thread 
these babies were going for <$20 this past week...
too bad deal is dead now
this woulda been a great router to have!

Excuse the question that might be irrelevant!
I just got a WRT54G (version 3). I only have one PC and have hooked it up with the wire. So, I do not need the wireless capability and have disabled it. The only reason I got this is for the extra security against incoming attempts. I have ZoneAlarm running for outgoing.
Considering my scenario, do I benefit from this Alchemy firmware?

i didn't want to go back through 22 pages but is there a sveasoft firmware upgrade for v3.0 yet?
edit: seems like it works for 3.0 so far

Ok got official word from the main 2 developers, sveasoft and wolf.

Here's the link where they said that, I dont know if you can access it with normal signup or if you need a support subscription.

Are you serious???? I just pick up one from CC today and mine is ver. 3. According to the first post ver 3 is not supported but "it should work" can someone confirm?
im having a problem where pc's can't browse using network neighborhood.. almost like it's having probs resolving dns names.... you have to type in the ip of the pc you want to access....
is this a known issue?
is this a known issue?
Have you
a) done a hard reset of router after upgrading firmware?
b) turned on DHCP?
c) reset router and computers since you upgraded firmware?
d) set all computers to get IP address and DNS automatically?
e) enabled or disabled XP services such as the computer browser service to save memory or whatever? (Normally they should be enabled, not disabled, default is enabled, if you haven't messed with XP services, its enabled and you dont have to worry about it).
There are many many things that can cause this. I'm not aware of this firmware having that issue specifically, but I will keep an eye out on my install and see if it happens.
I want to use my WRT54G as a repeater, to extend the range of my wireless network. How would I go about doing this?
hmmm...yes, nice of you the ask this question in A HOT DEALS FORUM !!!! what the heck r u doing ? take this whole thread out of here for christ sake and have this discussion in networking where it belongs. And I don't want to here "it makes it a hot deal for me if I can use it as a repeater blah blah blah.....". Yes, this old excuse is applicable to ALL networking, OS, and application questions. In no way is it pertaining to any currently hot deal, so take it somewhere else.
Thanks kevman going to try it at home tonight....just too much reading lately working on the stupid MCSE and just too much reading on my XBMC project.....lol
Oh? I'm sorry if the ability to take a $50 box and make it into a $1000+ box for free doesn't strike you as a hot deal.
If you could refrain from thread crapping I'd appreciate it. If you aren't interested in making a $50 router into a $1000+ router, no need to read the thread then.
I think this thread is a perfectly legitimate place to ask questions about how best to turn the box into a $1000+ box.
Sveasoft forums dont really provide support unless you pay another $20. I suppose someone could ask on the linksysinfo.org site if they wanted.
I just took a brief look and I see this is not the first time you tried crapping here. Almost exactly a month ago you had an extended crapping session DEMANDING that this thread be moved.
As well its ironic that in your earlier posts to this thread, you had NO problems with asking your own support questions in this thread for finding such features as static DHCP in the sveasoft firmware. You even crapped in that support question by saying that sveasoft didn't have features that d-link did. Even after people pointed it out several times you couldn't find it, and I finally rescued you by posting a direct link to the exact page in the documentation that described the feature. And now you are back again lol. Slightly hypocritical to critisize other members for behavior you yourself have taken part in.
Last month when you did this in this thread, many people ended up responding and of them all, you were the only one trying to crap and get this thread shut down. Everyone else said thanks to this thread they found out about this HOT DEAL and were able to add tons of functionality to thier router. Ironically by posting that kind of thing you only managed to get the thread replied to more often.
I do my best not to reply to this thread excessivly, if you'll notice many of my replies contain quotes and replies from several messages in one reply from me. I'm trying to extend the courtesy to you and other AT members to not excessivly reply to this thread. I will continue to do this. But I only have control over my own posting, the other posts reply and bump the thread far more often than I do.
Speaking of rules here's a quote for you:
"No thread crapping. If the subject matter of a deal does not interest you, do not post negative comments about it, or about other members, in the thread. "
Since you have already expressed your opinions about this thread last month in exhaustive detail, and again just now, how about we agree to stop discussing these kinds of things and concentrate on discussing the hot deal in the thread itself? The ability to take a $50 box and add tons of features for FREE to it. Thanks, I appreciate it.
I'm pretty sure this is a feature of WDS mode under the wireless options in router config. But check the documentation for more info, I belive the documentation links are in the OP.
Not sure what you mean about qos bandwidth loss. If you mean the thing with windows QOS that is urban myth, it doesn't really lose you bandwidth. It reserves I belive 20% of your total bandwidth for QOS purposes, but if QOS doesn't take control of the windows machine bandwith, that 20% is released for other use. This QOS is for your network card in your windows machine and has nothing much to do with the QOS in the router.
The QOS in this router is not part of windows. Its internal to the router. I'm pretty sure it doesn't do anyhing to the clients on the network, much less thier network cards. In this case, QOS means that is gives priority to transmitting certain types of traffic upstream or downstream from the router. For instance, if you have VOIP, you'd want those packets to have priority regardless of what else you were doing on the internet so you wouldn't have dropped packets that would case quality issues with the phone call. If you do p2p you'd want to have those be low priority so you could still browse the web while doing p2p. Etc.
Now, you will lose a small amount of bandwidth making QOS work effectivly on the router, but you can experiemtn with how this works. What you do is specify your max upstream and downstream, and put in a number slightly less into the router QOS config. One of the reason is because for instance in many Async connections (like most DSL) if you transmit upstream at maximum it will slow your downstream to a crawl. So one object of this QOS is to slightly limit the upstream a little less than max so it wont hurt your downloads or web browsing. This is in addition to giving priorities to differant types of traffic. However this is totally up to you in how you config it, and you can experiment with various configs and limits, if you have Syncronous connection then feel free not to limit it at all.
Don't even bother trying to reason with user1234. I've tried, and failed. It's best to just ignore him and continue on with what you are doing.
