<br>
This firmaware works on Buffalo, linksys and some asus routers.<br>
<br>
Linksys did release the wrt54gL because of the demand to have a router
with Linux.<br>
In fact, the L means Linux and this router is still in production, easy
to find (in Europe anyway) and very very cheap.<br>
<br>
DD-Wrt also runs on it and some other Linux firmware with QOS.<br>
<br>
The reason I recommand Tomato is that Tomato is very easy to configure
for end users.<br>
DD-wrt is more complete but also more complex.<br>
<br>

<pre>The following two links deal with the same familly of boxes.<o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre><o:p> </o:p></pre>
<pre>Generally it's $20 for a case,<o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre>$20 for a powersupply, but you've probably got an old one that will work.<o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre>and almost all of their boards are under $200, except for the ones with<o:p></o:p></pre>
