Bad deal.

Every place and their mother has this router for ~$40 after rebate and you don't have to play roulette with your money.

My last WRT54G cost me $13AR. $49 is ice cold.

 

[daweeze02]

ya but the problem now is CC and BB are caring only V5's thats why i went to walmart and paid $49 for a V4

What's special about v4?

 

[JBT]

V5 has half the ram and the chipset isn't as fast I believe and does have a smaller flash ROM. This doesn't cecessarily mean it is slower at stock settings but it does change things if you planned on modding it with a new OS etc.

the WTR54GL is basically the V4 WRT54G

Which is probably why the WRT54Gs are so cheap now. They are probably trying to get all the v4 and below off the shelves so they can bring in the WRT54GLs.

I saw plenty of V4s at Circuit City.

The V5 slowes down your connection...quite a bit...it is very noticeable in downloads. I saw it happen...switched to the v4 and voila...speed back up.

Use google to do a search on the v5 and you'll see.

I got V2.2 running Alchemy firmware and it's DA BOMB. I heard all new versions beyond V3 are problematic wrt using custom firmware
