Linksys WRT54G series
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from WRT54G)
Linksys WRT54G (and variants WRT54GS, WRT54GL, and WRTSL54GS) is a Wi-Fi capable residential gateway from Linksys. The
device is capable of sharing Internet connections amongst several computers via 802.3 Ethernet and 802.11b/g wireless data links.
The WRT54G is notable for being the first consumer-level network device that had its firmware source code released to satisfy the
obligations of the GNU GPL. This allows programmers to modify the firmware to change or add functionality to the device. Several
third-party firmware projects provide the public with enhanced firmware for the WRT54G. See Third party firmware projects. This
product has been known to be well suited for small businesses.
The WRT54G is also quite notable for being a piece of networking equipment that even novice home computer users understand and use each day. The WRT54G can be thought of
as bridging the gap between high-end commercial networking and the now-booming home networking.
