WRT54GS
 

I am looking for advice really on one or two questions
fistly, I am thinking about buying the linksys router but would like one with the old firmware as I beleive that the bios is alot bigger on the old models than the new ones any idea where I could find an old wrt54g? as there are more firmware options out their for the older routers.
Second question, I have become interested in voip and was thinking of purchasing a pap2 as the firmware can be flashed to work with any provider. I am bit confused on Linksys's website because it says I will need a bridge, yet my understanding from some of the other forums is that the pap2 can be plugged into one of the router ports? I have been trying to look for connection diagrams on the net and havent found any. that is to say is it plugged into the routers port? I have an ntl cable modem I think its the 250
any advice please,

I just had an email today from Morgan Computers advertising a Linksys router. I've bought some things from them in the past, and have never been disappointed. I think this is a slightly more recent router than you describe, but for what you get it seems to be at a remarkably good price (£23.96 inc VAT):

• Dual band wireless A and G broadband router - model WRT55AG-UK
• Tri-standard access point - 802.11 a/b/g - and built-in 4 port 10/100 LAN hub
• Advanced wireless security with WEP or WPA encryption
• Easily configured through setup wizard or web browser

Stock Status
Brand new
Warranty
Two year warranty

Hi, Thenorm,
and thankyou for your reply, gosh that is a cheap price, but the older linksys routers had a bigger bios size which meant more firmware options. There are lots of websites offering different firmware to flash the older routers due to their larger bios size new routers from what I have been able to understand offer only a 2meg space, the old ones offer a 4meg space.
but thankyou that is a good price indeed
