wrt54g firmware

Posted on January 8, 2009 by adrian

I’m setting up an old linksys wrt54g router with an open firmware. It’s currently got the latest version of <a href=”http://www.polarcloud.com/tomato”>Tomato</a> installed.

Anyone have any preferences for openwrt/etc and/or why?

I prefer DD-WRT, smooth interface, solid WDS & VPN options, lots of different flavors and a very strong community.

I use DD-WRT on my WRT54GL has proven very stable and feature filled. Although it misses Tomato’s pretty SVG graphics.

I like DD-WRT most. It has a neat web-interface.

I too use Tomato for my good old Buffalo router. I like it because of it’s clear user interface and it does everything I want (and some more). During the 3 years since this router is in operation I never hat one single problem. It just works.

Second vote for Tomato, also on Buffalo. I used to use DD-WRT on my other Linksys routers, but installing it nowadays is like dying from a thousand cuts — it suffers from featuritis.

Plus, Tomato runs stable for months on end. Really quite impressive. And its AJAX interface is simpler and much more responsive than DD’s, which inspires confidence.

I used tomato on my wrt54gl, really like it. However I can’t say i’ve tried DDWRT for comparison though.
