Notes

New model line, released after the version 5 WRT54G, which returns to a Linux-based OS as opposed to the Vx Works firmware. SpeedBooster is not enabled in stock firmware, however third-party firmware will enable the feature. The hardware is es sentially the same as the WRT54G version 4.0. One alteration is that the internal numbering scheme of the 4-port swit ch changed in this model, from 1 2 3 4, to 3 2 1 0.

In June 20, 2006, this version was shipping with firmware revision 4.30.7. This pre-loaded firmware allows the user to upload a 4MB firmware image, whereas the pre-loaded firmware on version 1.0 limited the image to 3MB. Firmware versi on 4.30.11 is now available for both hardware versions. Fully supported by Tomato, openwrt, and DD-WRT.

T-Mobile Special Edition WRT-54GL (Renamed WRT54G-TM).

WRTSL54GS

WRTSL54GS is similar to the WRT54GS

while adding additional firmware features and a USB 2.0 port (referred to as StorageLink) which can be used for a USB hard disk or flash drive.[3]

Unlike other models, the WRTSL54GS only has one antenna.

Notes

Released after the WRT54GS and WRT54GL. Uses Linux-based OS. Includes SpeedBooster support, additional firmware features, and an external USB 2.0 port (StorageLink) for network storage. Uses 8 MB of Intel TE28F640 flash with a Broadcom BCM4704KPB processor and Broadcom BCM5325FKQM Ethernet switch.

Change from BCM4704 rev 8 to BCM4704 rev 9 uncomfirmed

WRT54GX

WRT54GX comes with SRX (Speed and Range eXpansion), which utilizes True MIMO technology by Airgo Networks. It has 3 antennas and was once marketed as a 'Pre-N' router, with 8 times the speed and 3 times the range over standard 802.11g routers.
