1Linksys WRT54G seriesFrom Wikipedia, the free rdware revisions(Redirected from Wrt54g)Jump to: navigation, searchLinksys WRT54G version 1.0Linksys WRT54G (and variants WRT54GS, WRT54GL, and WRTSL54GS) is a Wi-Ficapable residential gateway from Linksys. The device is capable of sharing internet connectionsamong 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 firmwaresource code released to satisfy the obligations of the GNU GPL. This allows programmers tomodify the firmware to change or add functionality to the device. Several third-party firmwareprojects provide the public with enhanced firmware for the WRT54G.

It comes with a 4 1 port networkswitch (the Internet/WAN port is also in the same internal network switch, but on a differentVLAN). The devices have two removable antennas connected through Reverse Polarity TNCconnectors. The WRT54GC router is an exception and has an internal antenna with optionalexternal antenna. As a cost-cutting measure, the design of the latest version of the WRT54G nolonger has detachable antennas or TNC connectors. Instead, version 8 routers simply route thinwires into antenna 'shells' eliminating the connector. As a result, Linksys HGA7T and similarexternal antennas are no longer compatible with this model.[edit] Hardware and revisions

Versions 1 to 3 of this router have 8MB of flash memory. Since mostthird parties' firmware only use up to 4MB flash, a JFFS2-based read/write filesystem can becreated and used on the remaining 4MB free flash. This allows for greater flexibility ofconfigurations and scripting, enabling this small router to both load balance multiple ADSL lines(multi homed) or to be run as a hardware layer 2 load balancer (with appropriate third partyfirmware).[4]Version1.0CPUspeedRAM200 MHz 32 MBFlashmemory8 MBS/NPrefixCGN0CGN1NotesBroadcom BCM4712KPB and ADMtek6996L switch.

This unit has a four port 10/100 switch and one WANport. The "C" in the router number stands for compact, as the unit measures 4" by 4" by 1" withan internal antenna. The unit can be expanded with addition of HGA7S external antenna to boostrange. Hardware Version 1.0 is the only option available in the United States since introductionin 2005.Version 2.0 is shipping in, amongst other countries, the United Kingdom. This unit has 1MBflash, 4MB RAM and a non-detachable external antenna.The internal hardware is based on a Marvell ARM914 ("Libertas") reference design which isprobably identical to the SerComm IP806SM, Xterasys XR-2407G, Abocom ARM914, HawkingHWGR54 Revision M, and the Airlink 101 AR315W. By appropriately changing the value of thefirmware byte 0x26, the WRT54GC can be cross-flashed with firmware based on the samereference platform.[18]There are reports that a sister platform of the WRT54GC (the AR315W) has been hacked to runLinux.[19]

The Stock Firmware does not support Cellular Providers even though you do have theexact supported aircard. eg: Telus Mobility (CANADA) uses the Sierra Wireless Aircard 595which is supported by this router but because it is from Telus Mobility and not from Sprint(USA), it will never load the card into the router to make it operational. This is only true for theSprint and AT&T branded models.[edit] WRT54G-RGThe WRT54G-RG (RG stands for Rogers) is also called the Rogers TalkSpot Voice-OptimizedRouter. It works with Rogers' Talkspot UMA service, which allows calls to be made via Rogers'cellular network or via WiFi Unlicensed Mobile Access (UMA), using the same telephone andphone number. A UMA-compatible phone is required.[edit] WRT54G-TMThe WRT54G-TM (TM stands for T-Mobile) is also called the T-Mobile "Hotspot@Home"service. It allows calls to be made via T-Mobile's GSM network or via WiFi Unlicensed MobileAccess (UMA), using the same telephone and phone number (a special dual-mode phone
13designed for the service is required e.g. Blackberry Pearl 8120). Additionally, once a call is inprogress, one may transition from WiFi to GSM (and vice versa) seamlessly, as WiFi signalcomes and goes, such as when entering or exiting a home or business. A special router is notneeded to use the service, but the T-Mobile branded routers are supposed to enhance thetelephone's battery life. This is the only known tweak to the TM version of the firmware. Thehardware appears to be like WRT54GL however has 32MB ram and 8MB flash.The WRT54G-TM having a serial number that starts with C061 has these specifications: Broadcom BCM5352EKPBG CPU32 MB RAM (Hynix HY5DU561622ETP-D43)8 MB Flash (JS28f640)Uses the same BINs that the WRT54GS v3.0 doesVersionCPUspeedRAMFlashmemory1.0WRT54GTM200 MHz 32 MB8 MB2.0200 MHzWRTU54GTM[20]64 MB8 MBS/NPrefixNotesT-Mobile Edition WRT54GS V3.0(Renamed WRT54G-TM).

This version has two RJ-11telephone ports and two SIM cardQMF00Hslots. The WRTU54G-TM is notsupported by DD-WRT. It cannot beflashed [6].[edit] Third-party firmware projectsAfter Linksys was required to release the WRT54G's firmware source code under terms of theGNU General Public License, there have been many third party projects enhancing that code aswell as some entirely new projects using the hardware in these devices. Three of the most widelyused are DD-WRT, Tomato and OpenWRT.Further information: List of wireless router firmware projects[edit] Hardware versions affect firmware compatibility
14As of January 2006, most third-party firmware is no longer compatible with version 5 of both theWRT54G and the WRT54GS. The amount of flash memory in the version 5 devices has beenreduced to 2 MB, too small for current Linux-based third-party firmware. (See table above forinformation on identifying the version based on the serial number printed on the bottom of theunit, and on the outside of the shrink-wrapped retail box.)Some users have succeeded in flashing and running a stripped down but fully functional versionof DD-WRT called 'micro' on a version 5 WRT54G.[21][22] An easier method not requiring anydisassembly of the device has since been devised for flashing v5-v8 to DD-WRT.[23][24]To support third-party firmware, Linksys has re-released the WRT54G v4, under the new modelname WRT54GL (the 'L' in this name allegedly stands for 'Linux'). It is also possible to replacethe 2MB flash chip in the WRT54G with a 4MB flash chip. The Macronix International29LV320BTC-90 is a suitable part although others may work as well. The user must first installa JTAG header and use a JTAG cable to backup the firmware,then replace the chip and restorethe firmware with the JTAG cable. After testing for proper functionality of the modified unit,3rdparty firmware can be flashed using the JTAG cable and a suitable image file.[edit] CPUAccording to OpenWrt,[25] the Linksys WRT54G series use several different processors, all ofthem 32-bit MIPS architecture processors manufactured by Broadcom.[clarification needed][edit] Default settings IP address 192.168.1.1No user namePassword: admin[edit] See also Linksys Routers:o WRT150N/WRT300No WRTP54G Hardware Links:o Asus Routerso Buffalo AirStationo USB modem[edit] References
