From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from WRT54G)
Linksys WRT54G (and variants WRT54GSWRT54GL, and WRTSL54GS) is a Wi-Fi capable residential gateway from Linksys. The 
device is capable of sharing Internet connections amongst several computers via 802.3 Ethernet and 802.11b/g wireless data links.
The WRT54G is notable for being the first consumer-level network device that had its  firmware source code released to satisfy the 
obligations of the GNU GPL. This allows programmers to modify the firmware to change or add functionality to the device. Several 
third-party firmware projects provide the public with enhanced firmware for the WRT54G.  See Third party firmware projects. This 
product has been known to be well suited for small businesses.
The WRT54G is also quite notable for being a piece of networking equipment that even novice home computer u sers understand and use each day. The WRT54G can be thought of 
as bridging the gap between high-end commercial networking and the now-booming home networking.
