The version numbers that Cisco puts on their home Wi Fi routers is in regard to the hardware used. The WRT54 G v2 and the WRT54 G v3 (and so on) have different hardware and so the firmware for the v3 may not work correctly on the v2. If there are no other firmware updates for your specific router on the manufacturer's website, then it is safe to say that you have the most current version. As far as using other firmware on the device, it is generally not considered a good idea to use non-manufacturer firmware if you want to maintain a stable router. That being said, there are a number of third party alternative firmwares for home routers for those that feel the manufacturer firmware does not offer the features they desire or the stability they need. Some of them are.and others. Be warned: using any of these will void any warranty you might have on your existing hardware and could brick the hardware if not properly installed.
The original WRT54 G was first released as a SOHO router in December 2002. The product line supports Wi Fi and five switched Ethernet ports. ( The WAN port is part of the same internal network switch, but on a different VLAN.) The devices have two removable antennas connected through Reverse Polarity TNC connectors. For additional background information, see Linksys WRT54 G series. Supported Versions The different models within the WRT54 G series may all look identical. Please refer to the model information sticker on the underside of the unit in order to determine the precise model number and hardware version of your device. Note: The supported versions of Open Wrt can be found on the Table of Hardware For wireless support on Kernel 2.6 it is recommended to use trunk snapshots or releases newer than and including Backfire 10.3. Note: the wireless driver names are different in 2.6 from 2.4. You may need to do: opkg install kmod-b43 wifi detect > /etc/config/wireless in order to get the correct wireless configuration created. For versions of the Open Wrt brcm47xx target prior to Attitude Adjustment 12.09-final, you may wish to use Broadcom's proprietary wl driver due to longstanding issues with the b43 driver in Linux kernel versions 2.6 and newer ( After installing the brcm47xx image, you will need to execute the following commands while logged into the router over TELNET or SSH: opkg update opkg install kmod-brcm-wl wlc nas rm /etc/modules.d b43* After rebooting the router, configure wireless as usual, only using the Broadcom driver instead of the b43 driver.
