mitchwyle said: 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.
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.

Haji said: mine was delivered today. A friend of mine got the v4. I'll report back on which one I got. i received a v6 and installed micro dd-wrt in about 30 minutes following these directions: hxxp://www.scorpiontek.org/portal/content/view/27/36/1/0/

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! -Ed
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?
