Linksys WRT54GL The original version (v1) of the Linksys WRT54G — whose the designation comes from Wireless Rou Ter capable of 54 Gigabits per second WiFi speeds — originally launched in December 2002. By any measure, the product was a wild success for Linksys. It boasted four 10/100 LAN switch ports, in addition to a single WAN port for connecting to a DSL or Cable modem, and broadcast WiFi on the 2.4GHz spectrum using the then-newest Wireless-G technology at a then-blazing 54 Gbps. It was relatively inexpensive, easy to install and configure (especially since there weren’t a lot of configuration options in the early firmware versions), and straight-up bulletproof reliable.

In fact, the only thing that ever went wrong with any of the WRT54Gs I’ve owned was a dead power supply, which was easy to replace with a quick trip to Radio Shack for a generic 5V 2A wall wart. The WRT54G wireless router is what every respectable geek employed to broadcast WiFi signals throughout their house or apartment, and even thirteen years later, I still see plenty of them (and their variants) in service. The WRT54G was good on its own, but what truly launched it into Geekdom’s Hall of Fame was the arrival of of third-party open source Linux-based firmwares, such as,,, and. Technically considered “hacking” your own router (though completely legally, since you own it), these replacement firmwares converted the $60-ish dollar WRT54G into a $300 business-class router or at least gave you the essential functions of one.
