Thank you for your help. I much appreciate it. To make a step forward, and since I am not really used to using 3rd party firmware, what should my steps be once I get the WRT54GL router? Do I install the software that will come with the router? Download the latest version from some Linksys website? Or download 3rd party software and start from there?

Regarding the third party software, could anyone provide any links (in this forum or elsewhere) giving instructions/help with the setup and the use of the 3rd party software? I would not consider myself a "power" user neither do I use P2P, torrents etc. hence I am not sure I would be comfortable with too many options and features to fiddle with. So, I guess, my question would be what does the 3rd party software has to offer to the average/ignorant user in terms of performance, stability and security?

Any help will be much appreciated.
Thank you!
