That 'German' firmware is probably DD-WRT. Thats exactly what i run - its the peak of third-party firmware evolution for the WRT54G. You can flash it back to the default Linksys, or use something a touch more user-friendly like HyperWRT, but, to be honest, you'd be doing yourself a huge disservice, as DD-WRT has far, far more features than almost any other firmware out there.

Of course, for the true nerd, there's OpenWRT - which is a 'true' Linux based firmware, with support for all sorts of packages, including Snort (as I'm currently finding out!).

You can also pay for your firmware from some sources - which has caused consternation amongst the open-source community - the author of the firmware in question seems to have an (ahem) 'interesting' interpretation of the GPL...

Any views on this?

 

I have the earlier 2600 and it is a solid piece of gear!

well thanks everyone for you help, but i went a total different direction and went for a billion 7405G router.

Cheers

 

I have heard a lot of good things about Billion routers in general - let us know how you get on with it.

 

I've only got a few Hundred, myself.

 

Boom boom

 

Well just to let you guys know i got the billion 7404GL (same as G expect lacks VPN) and what can i say, solved all problems. A great router, and defo worth the extra bit of cash. Thanks for all your help again
