Description

The listing, Linksys WRT54G Wireless G Broadband Router 2.5 GHz 54 Mbps - Bios flashed with enhanced firmware has ended.

The gold standard for home routers for years, the WRT54G is a Wi-Fi residential internet gateway from Linksys. It's capable of sharing Internet connections among several computers via Ethernet and b/g wireless. This is a very easy to set up and widely used router. Comes with AC power adapter and short ethernet cable to connect to your modem.

Easy to setup, does not require any CD or additional software, and will be reset to factory default username [blank] and password [admin].

BONUS: This router has been flashed with an enhhanced bios version: v4.71.1, Hyperwrt 2.1b1 + Thibor15c

Questions & Comments

I thought you sold this router already? Anyway, can the firmware be flashed back to factory bios?

That was a different router. This one is actually better. I actually briefly looked to to find the factory Bios for a Version 2, and strangely that was the only one missing from the Linksys website. I'm pretty sure this is just an oversite and Linksys could help, or one from another model would work. However, the Bios that's on the router uses the Linksys Bios as a base, and at first glance you wouldn't even realize there is an alternative Bios on the router. For basic routing purposes, it is exactly the same. I see no reason to flash it back to the OEM bios.

This router can be flashed to DD-WRT. The firmware on it now worked great though, and was very stable for years.

Sorry for the $6 shipping, but that's about what it cost me to send the last one, and I think I might have to buy a box to ship this one.

Thanks. Back atcha!

might want to make sure it's set to factory default settings before shipping it. Hold the reset key near the power plug in.

Thanks. As noted above in the second paragraph, "...will be reset to factory default username: [blank] and password: admin"

Jan 15th, 2012 at 9:13:35 PM PST by

Sorry bout that was just noting it.

Jan 15th, 2012 at 11:24:36 PM PST by

No problem. Good lookin' out.

I won a router from this seller just a week ago and it was a great deal. I won the router for 2445 credits. I hope to win this one also so ler the games begin.

Thank you, Zachary18.

At what point will you do free shipping?

Jan 17th, 2012 at 9:27:22 PM PST by

If you are proposing something, that's fine, I'll consider it, but I had no intention of doing free shipping.

Jan 17th, 2012 at 10:33:50 PM PST by

This is the last router I have, so if you want a free router from Listia, this is the one!

Jan 18th, 2012 at 5:40:22 PM PST by

@ Zachary18 - I need a wifi router for my business. All I can say is game on. Oh by the way, Grandma says I can use all of her 50,000 credits. This isn't a 3 pointer, looking for a TD. Wish I could have said that about the Bengals.
