No experience here with those routers, one thing we found though, even with the $30 difference is it worth not having to drive to the customers premise to fix a problem that they see as "your" problem? I'm not saying everyone should do this or it is the process for everyone, but we have found that just putting in a solid WRT54GL at the customers has taken our service calls for failed routers down by a large margin. I would say in the 150-200 WRT54GL's that we have in place we've only had 3 need to be replaced. With a D-Link router we had we were nearly 60% that we would have to drive out there, replace it, then get it RMA'd with D-Link just to have another crappy router to take out to the next guy that has a problem. The WRT54G v5+ that we've had experience with has just been that the customer has to reboot the router several times a day, we've tried new firmware (from linksys) with no changes, that's why we moved.

We have been upgrading our current refurbished wrt54g-v6/8's to dd-wrt which is working out quite well. However we have been having a fairly high turnover on these refurbished models. Also I hesitate to install dd-wrt on a new unit as it will void the 3 year warranty. I was planning on purchasing the wrt54gl's but they are $30 more and when we order 10 of them at a time that works out to be a rather large difference in price. If the g2's are any good I would like to use them. Please let me know if you have any input. --- Aaron, MCP, Network+, A+ Network Administrator [EMAIL PROTECTED] Great Lakes Internet, Inc 112 N.
