I'm not sure what version these are. Saw this and I have had luck with Linksys recertified routers.
linky

These routers are open source so 3rd party firmware such as DD-WRT, tomato and others are available for flashing to unlock a lot of capabilities.

older versions have more flash ram while the newer versions have less ram to only allow micro versions of the 3rd party firmware.

memory and dd-wrt or open-wrt flashability specs are nowhere to be found. I speculate it has 4 MB and is more "closed" than other wrt54g models.

I bought one to see what version it is. Hope it's less than v.4!

it's a g model -- wrt54g. The -RM just means Re-Manufactured..

Therefore the real question is what version of wrt54g are these. I speculate it's all kinds of different versions.

I might grab a few of these, they're built like tanks and were probably just customer returns because they couldn't figure it out.

I have one of these installed under the eve of my house for the last 2 years no insulation just out there rain or sunshine hasn't stopped yet, even has spider webs. I second the previous post its definitely built like a tank.

You can get brand new v.8 wrt54g for around $40. Why mess with a refurb? I picked one of these up at Target 2 weeks ago and flashed it with DD-WRT.

v8 = micro DD-WRT only

In this case, a v4 is more powerful than a v8.

You mentioned that you got it at Target for $40. Is that on sales / clearance or something? I just looked online and they seem to be around $70-80.

Great question. On top of that, I didn't see a post from him about that deal, would have been nice!

Somewhat OT but I have a v.6 I flashed with DD-WRT hoping it might perform a little better. I have 30 Mbs cable but can only seem to get around 8-9 Mbps via wireless G connections. Flashing didn't help. Anyone no of a wireless router that can get anywhere closer to 30 Mbs true throughput?

Or are others experiencing fine speeds with this router and its just my setup/interference/etc?

Thanks OP!
