WRT54G version question

[Kelemvor]

I'm looking to pick up a WRT54G to use with my SunRocket VoIP service. I know that the v5 revisions arent' flashabale with 3rd party firmware. But is that only of the G or is that the GS as well?

I found this over at Linksysinfo.org but for the WRT54G it lists the v5 but for the WRT54GS it only goes up to v4... I just want to make sure I get what I'm supposed to as I'll probably be picking one up off ebay

There are serveral versions of the WRT54G and WRT54GS. different powersupplies, chipsets, features, though all based on similar firmware.

To find out which model you have please go by the Serail Number of your WRT54G/GS. this is the only true way of finding out.

Known serial numbers (first 4 characters) vs versions / Chipsets:

WRT54G
CDF0 = WRT54G v1.0 / ADM6996L Chipset / CPU 125Mhz
CDF1 = WRT54G v1.0 / ADM6996L Chipset / CPU 125Mhz
CDF2 = WRT54G v1.1 / ADM6996L Chipset / CPU 125Mhz
CDF3 = WRT54G v1.1 / ADM6996L Chipset / CPU 125Mhz
CDF5 = WRT54G v2.0 / ADM6996L Chipset / CPU 200Mhz
CDF7 = WRT54G v2.2 / BCM5325EKQM Chipset / CPU 200Mhz
CDF8 = WRT54G v3.0 / BCM5325EKQM Chipset / CPU 200Mhz
CDF9 = WRT54G v3.1 / BCM5325EKQM Chipset / CPU 200Mhz
CDFA = WRT54G v4.0 / BCM5352E Chipset / CPU 200Mhz
CDFB = WRT54G v5.0 / BCM5352EKPB Chipset / CPU 200Mhz

NOTE: The WRT54G v5.0 has 2Mb/8Mb Ram, it uses VxWorks OS and is incompatable with 3rd Party Firmware.

WRT54GL
CL7A = WRT54GL / BCM5352E Chipset / CPU 200Mhz

WRT54GS
CGN0 = WRT54GS v1.0 / ADM6996L Chipset / CPU 200Mhz
CGN1 = WRT54GS v1.0 / ADM6996L Chipset / CPU 200Mhz
CGN2 = WRT54GS v1.1 / BCM5325EKQM Chipset / CPU 200Mhz
CGN3 = WRT54GS v2.0 / BCM5325EKQM Chipset / CPU 200Mhz
CGN4 = WRT54GS v2.1 / BCM5325EKQM Chipset / CPU 200Mhz
CGN5 = WRT54GS v3.0 / BCM5352E Chipset / CPU 200Mhz
CGN6 = WRT54GS v4.0 / BCM5352E Chipset / CPU 200Mhz

Also, is there an easier way to find out the revision if you actually have the unit in front of you? Does it say the version on the label or anything like that? Or do you have to go off the serial number?

Thaknnks.

According to the Wikipedia entry, it's true for both

Try this.
