Sveasoft advantages?

[Bodine]

I'm upgrading my wirless B network to G. I'm considering going with a Linksys WRT54G so that I can use the sveasoft firmware. My question is, why?

For the average home user, are there any major advantages? I've looked for some sveasoft faq's, and the best I've found so far is a post here.. However, a lot of it is greek to me.

The 2 advantages I can decipher are: 1) Static MAC-to-IP DHCP addressing. (My Netgear 802.11B does this by default, so I'm suprised I have to use hacked firmware on Linksys for this. But this is an important feature to me). 2) Bridging. This is also seems very useful, as signal stregnth gets very weak across the house from my router.

Any other features that a home user would find useful? Thanks.

WDS is stronger with Buffalo hardware and I think they support WPA. Where as the 3rd party WDS implementation only works well with WEP.

I would advise that you buy Buffalo hardware for this.

you should just get a netgear G router. I've been playing with the netgear and the linksys wrtg and wrtgs with many hacked firmwares. The netgear is consistenly faster than the linksyses in almost everything, even with the boosted antannae boosts. I'm gonna try a Dlink gaming router next and see how that is. Anyone know if the dlink has mac to ip address?

Buffalo is the crapiest brand that exists and their wds doesn't work, but feel free to buy it yourself if you like it so much. it is junk

Personal experience or just something you read?

(I have used it and it works fine)
