Yes, and I think you misread it. Its also an old article. The L version, with stock firmware, passes more tests. The jest of the article is that the firmware in the non-L version is terribly buggy. There is a chance that more recent firmware is better. But if you plan to use DD-WRT or Tomato or other open source firmware, the stock stuff makes zero difference. No one has said that the WRT54GL is a perfect, high performance router, its just cheap and flexible. And with alternative firmware, lots of folks swear by it. The WRT54GL is not the solution if you are driving the network hard, but very few homes do that. Most homes in the US have broadband connections that can't load a network hard. I have a fast, and expensive cable modem connection, and it does only 15mbs on a good day. That's hardly a load. If you are doing mission critical stuff that drives the network to its knees, get a real router. For the rest of us, its fine.
