    There should be a revision number on the label, if it's not 1.5 I'll take it!

    What's the deal with the V1.5?

    Will this thing support Xbox 360 gaming and online Netflix?

    If "yes" to question 2 and question 1 doesn't end up being something catastrophic, put me next in line if evile passes.

    I'm not sure what the deal with 1.5 is, but I did a quick google search, and apparently people complain of it dropping connection too often.

    Evile, do you know what the deal with this router is? I can't honestly sell it if it's not going to work.

    The WRT54G is almost legendary in its reliability and quality.
    It is certainly worth $20 if not a bit more.

    One of the best features of the WRT54Gx is that there are several "brands" of firmware that have been written by very accomplished programmers.
    They add a few cool features like the ability to increase the gain on the wireless transmitters.

    Three versions of the WRT54G2 have been released. 1.0, 1.3 and 1.5
    The least desirable version is 1.5 because 3rd party firmware can not be loaded onto it.

    If you are not interested in reflashing the firmware the 1.5 version is just as good as earlier versions.

    I just need it to connect to the webs, support Xbox Live and that's it. Is there anything to be gained from reflashing the firmware or is that more of an owner preference thing?

    It's more of a computer geek/hacker thing.
    Some people like to hotrod their cars, some like to overclock their PCs, unlock their cellphones and flash the firmware of their digital devices.

    It should work just fine the way it is.

    It will work fine for xbox and everything, I am looking for something to run dd-wrt which is an open source router firmware replacement and it won't work on 1.5

    other than that this is a great router and a steal at $20!

    Let me know where to send money. I don't use PP so I hope another form of payment is accepted.
