Linksys WRT54G series
Un article de Vev.
← Version précédente | Version suivante →
Linksys WRT54G (and variants WRT54GS, WRT54GL, and WRTSL54GS) is a Wi-Fi capable residential gateway from Linksys. The device is capable of sharing Internet connections amongst several computers via 802.3 Ethernet and 802.11b/g wireless data links.
The WRT54G is notable for being the first consumer-level network device that had its firmware source code released to satisfy the obligations of the GNU GPL. This allows programmers to modify the firmware to change or add functionality to the device. Several third-party firmware projects provide the public with enhanced firmware for the WRT54G. See Third party firmware projects. This product has been known to be well suited for small businesses.
The WRT54G is also quite notable for being a piece of networking equipment that even novice home computer users understand and use each day. The WRT54G can be thought of as bridging the gap between high-end commercial networking and the now-booming home networking.

Hardware and revisions
WRT54G
The original WRT54G was first released in 2003. It comes with a 4+1 port network switch (the Internet/WAN port is also in the same internal network switch, but on a different VLAN). The devices have two removable antennas connected through Reverse Polarity TNC connectors. The WRT54GC router is an exception and has an internal antenna with optional external antenna. As a cost-cutting measure, the design of the latest version of the WRT54G no longer has detachable antennas or TNC connectors. Instead, version 8 routers simply route thin wires into antenna 'shells' eliminating the connector. As a result, Linksys HGA7T and similar external antennas are no longer compatible with this model.

WRT54GL
Linksys released the WRT54GL in 2005 to support third-party firmware based on Linux, after the original WRT54G line was switched from Linux to VxWorks, starting with version 5.
| Version | CPU speed | RAM | Flash memory | S/N Prefix | Notes | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1.0 | 200 MHz | 16 MB | 4 MB | CL7A | New model line, released after the version 5 WRT54G, which returns to a Linux-based OS as opposed to the VxWorks firmware. SpeedBooster is not enabled in stock firmware, however third-party firmware will enable the feature. The hardware is essentially the same as the WRT54G version 4.0. One alteration is that the internal numbering scheme of the 4-port switch changed in this model, from 1 2 3 4, to 3 2 1 0. | |
| 1.1 | 200 MHz | 16 MB | 4 MB | CL7B CL7C | In June 20, 2006, this version was shipping with firmware revision 4.30.7. This pre-loaded firmware allows the user to upload a 4MB firmware image, whereas the pre-loaded firmware on version 1.0 limited the image to 3MB. Firmware version 4.30.11 is now available for both hardware versions. Fully supported by Tomato, openwrt, and DD-WRT. | |

WRT54GC
WRT54GC series with 802.11b/g support. This unit has a four port 10/100 switch and one WAN port. The "C" in the router number stands for compact, as the unit measures 4" by 4" by 1" with an internal antenna. The unit can be expanded with addition of HGA7S external antenna to boost range. Hardware Version 1.0 is only option available in the United States since introduction in 2005.
Version 2.0 is shipping in, amongst other countries, the United Kingdom. This unit has a non-detachable external antenna.
The internal hardware is based on a Marvell ARM914 ("Libertas") reference design which is probably identical to the SerComm IP806SM, Xterasys XR-2407G, Abocom ARM914, Hawking HWGR54 Revision M, and the Airlink 101 AR315W. By appropriately changing the value of the firmware byte 0x26, the WRT54GC can be cross-flashed with firmware based on the same reference platform.

WRT54G3G Mobile Broadband router
A variant which has 4 ethernet ports plus a PCMCIA slot for use with a Sprint Nextel "aircard" which supports CDMA 1X and EVDO rev A wireless internet.
WRT54G-TM
The WRT54G-TM (TM stands for T-Mobile) is also called the T-Mobile "Hotspot@Home" service. It allows calls to be made via T-Mobile's GSM network or via WiFi, using the same telephone and phone number (a special dual-mode phone designed for the service is required). Additionally, once a call is in progress, one may transition from WiFi to GSM (or the other way 'round) seamlessly, as WiFi signal comes and goes, such as when entering or exiting a home or business. A special router is not needed to use the service, but the T-Mobile branded routers are supposed to enhance the telephone's battery life. This is the only known tweak to the TM version of the firmware. The hardware appears to be like WRT54GL however has 32 ram and 8 Meg flash, with five RJ-45 ports (four LAN plus "internet"). There are no RJ-11 telephone ports nor SIM slots as was once rumored. Upgrading to third party firmware via JTAG method, upgrade CFE to WRT54GL 1.1, allows flash upgrade as the stock WRT54G-TM CFE prevents third party firmware upgrades.
Third-party firmware projects
Although listed here under Linksys, many of these will run on other brands of Linux-based devices, such as the Buffalo network-attached storage series. The extent of support for (and testing on) particular hardware varies from project to project.

Hardware versions affect firmware compatibility
As of January 2006, most third-party firmware is no longer compatible with version 5 of both the WRT54G and the WRT54GS. The amount of flash memory in the version 5 devices has been reduced to 2 MB, too small for current Linux-based third-party firmware. (See table above for information on identifying the version based on the serial number printed on the bottom of the unit, and on the outside of the shrink-wrapped retail box.)
