It is compatible with a WRT54GL? Or do i need an adapter?

you do not need anything as long as your router has the standard screw on back, but it is hard to screw on the back of the router. Also it is heavy and keeps falling down but not separating from the router. Make sure yours does not have these deficiencies. I do have clear for my internet which is slow and this makes the difference.

DD-WRT.com shows support for it. I'm gonna install it when I get my router in.

Yes, it should be compatible with any router. I use mine with a netgear N-600 and a Comcast router. ~ Flick

No. DD-WRT is open-source firmware, and the only routers I know of that come with it pre-installed are a handful of Buffalo Tech routers. According to the DD-WRT web site, the WNDR4000 is compatible with it, though, so you can flash it yourself.

You may bet that this is a 5.x or later version which runs that slimmed down Vxworks firmware. For the real thing (which once built WRT54G's reputation as a reliable product) look for a WRT54GL (L as in Linux). And look for DD-WRT firmware for your WRT54GL ( http://dd-wrt.com ). That combo really rocks.

Nope, just link it to your router, I had no problems with this unit, I am still using it today, no problems.

I have been trying and trying to get the Linksys Router WRT54G to talk to my WET54G all night. The WET54G is hooked to the Samsung BD-P2550, but I can not get the internet connection. I tried different IP Address and I can not get it to work. Can someone please help?

Aye this is essentially a wireless router only. You'll have to purchase the wireless adaptor seperately. I think they make one that pairs with this one particularly, but any wireless adaptor should be fine.

It sounds like you need NETGEAR WG111 Wireless USB 3.0 Adapter (54 Mbps) not 2.0

Sorry Maurice, no idea. I bought two of those adapters, one crapped out, and the other barely functions. I replaced the dead one with Linksys WES610N 4-Port Dual-Band N Entertainment Bridge and it works great, I can plug my xbox & blue ray player into it, as well as the wifi boost.

Yes, this is a normal network adapter supporting the a/b/g/n bands as well as the new ac band of the 802.11 standard. As long as you're accessing a wireless network which supports these bands as well has know their passwords (if any), then it should work without issue.

While not officially listed in the table of hardware &lt;http://wiki.openwrt.org/toh/start&gt; at this time (August 3, 2014), that does not mean that it is not supported, it just means that no one has tested it extensively yet. Similar routers (WNDR*) seem to have varying levels of support. Remember that installing OpenWRT often voids manufacturer warranties. If you want to attempt to install OpenWRT on this device, have a look around the forums to see if there is anyone else has attempted the same thing. If the installation fails, you could end up with a (potentially permanently) $70 paperweight. There are ways of recovering these "bricked" routers, but, depending on how badly it was bricked, you may need serial or JTAG (I cannot say for sure if this router has either, but other routers in its family do) to unbrick it. Granted, that's the worst case scenario. I fixed my bricked WRT54G with just a Mac and an ethernet cable. If you are going to jump in, some guidelines: Know your router's RAM size, Flash size, Processor, and Wireless Chipset. Find a routers that ARE listed with similar hardware and look to those directions (as a group) for guidance. Of those, the two biggest things are the processor and the flash. The flash needs to be big enough to hold the firmware image, and the processor has to be able to run it. Atheros builds don't generally work on Broadcom, and vice versa, for example. Even within a processor brand, sometimes there are differences between models. Make especially sure that the build is listed as being compatible with the processor. -- As a general note, these guidelines could apply to any router that is not listed on the hardware table.

I'm using dd-wrt.v24-18946_NEWD-2_K2.6_big It's Eko's Big build for this router. Works like a champ!

Unsure you will have to remove your routers antenna(s) and check for what type of coax connector you will need. I own two of these antennas and use them with a linksys WRT54g router and some other connectors I have. The two antennas on your router are not for send and receive they are for frequency diversity. Hope this helps also you can extend your current wifi network for free by flashing your router with Dd-WRT there are videos online about this process.

Hi There, I own this router but I don't have answer. However, check this website: http://support.linksys.com/en-us/support/routers/WRT54G2. There's a LIVE CHAT tab & a toll free number.

It is supposed to be. I opened a ticket with netgear support and asked the very same thing. They said it was compatible.

The WRT54GL router is a Single Band router which is capable of using 2.4GHz wireless network.
