I mentioned this on the absolutely laughable "Hardware Specification" page on the myopenrouter site (it had gems like "firewall"... yes very hardware) and now the page is gone altogether.]]>Jun 30th 2008 6:01PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/30/netgears-wgr614l-wireless-g-router-openly-plays-nice-with-tomat/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/30/netgears-wgr614l-wireless-g-router-openly-plays-nice-with-tomat/http://www.myopenrouter.com/article/10066/WGR614L-Hardware-Specifications]]>Jun 30th 2008 6:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/30/netgears-wgr614l-wireless-g-router-openly-plays-nice-with-tomat/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/30/netgears-wgr614l-wireless-g-router-openly-plays-nice-with-tomat/Jun 30th 2008 8:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/30/netgears-wgr614l-wireless-g-router-openly-plays-nice-with-tomat/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/30/netgears-wgr614l-wireless-g-router-openly-plays-nice-with-tomat/I love my easily modded Buffalo router. It was only 25 bucks and has been running Tomato firmware for 2 years. The only problem is Buffalo can no longer sell routers in the US due to a patent issue from another company. Until that settlement can be reversed Buffalo can't sell any more routers. Outside the US, they're still being sold and still a great product if you can get it.

However, this Netgear router is joke for it selling point and price. It has neither wireless N or a gigabit lan connection. Yeah, it can modded, but so can the Linksys WRT54GL which can be had for between 50-60 bucks. Its only 200mhz, but I doubt that will make a serious difference in the performance of the router. Sorry Netgear, you're going to need to try harder to win over people]]>Jun 30th 2008 6:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/30/netgears-wgr614l-wireless-g-router-openly-plays-nice-with-tomat/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/30/netgears-wgr614l-wireless-g-router-openly-plays-nice-with-tomat/
"open source support" is one thing, but as I tried to state in the original post, "open source hardware documentation" is really the key element. its lack of documentation that keeps most modern wifi routers from being linux compatible, not lack of "support".]]>Jun 30th 2008 8:02PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/30/netgears-wgr614l-wireless-g-router-openly-plays-nice-with-tomat/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/30/netgears-wgr614l-wireless-g-router-openly-plays-nice-with-tomat/Jun 30th 2008 9:21PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/30/netgears-wgr614l-wireless-g-router-openly-plays-nice-with-tomat/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/30/netgears-wgr614l-wireless-g-router-openly-plays-nice-with-tomat/

I applaud Netgear's effort, but I'm just not sure that the world needs more Wireless-G routers, hackable or not. Wireless-N is the future, and an open-source N router would be awesome. ]]>Jun 30th 2008 6:29PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/30/netgears-wgr614l-wireless-g-router-openly-plays-nice-with-tomat/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/30/netgears-wgr614l-wireless-g-router-openly-plays-nice-with-tomat/Jun 30th 2008 6:15PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/30/netgears-wgr614l-wireless-g-router-openly-plays-nice-with-tomat/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/30/netgears-wgr614l-wireless-g-router-openly-plays-nice-with-tomat/Jun 30th 2008 8:05PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/30/netgears-wgr614l-wireless-g-router-openly-plays-nice-with-tomat/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/30/netgears-wgr614l-wireless-g-router-openly-plays-nice-with-tomat/Jun 30th 2008 6:21PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/30/netgears-wgr614l-wireless-g-router-openly-plays-nice-with-tomat/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/30/netgears-wgr614l-wireless-g-router-openly-plays-nice-with-tomat/Jun 30th 2008 6:23PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/30/netgears-wgr614l-wireless-g-router-openly-plays-nice-with-tomat/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/30/netgears-wgr614l-wireless-g-router-openly-plays-nice-with-tomat/Jun 30th 2008 6:24PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/30/netgears-wgr614l-wireless-g-router-openly-plays-nice-with-tomat/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/30/netgears-wgr614l-wireless-g-router-openly-plays-nice-with-tomat/Jun 30th 2008 6:25PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/30/netgears-wgr614l-wireless-g-router-openly-plays-nice-with-tomat/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/30/netgears-wgr614l-wireless-g-router-openly-plays-nice-with-tomat/http://www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/Supported_Devices

Does using a cheap router affect torrenting? Before I splurge $60 on a Linksys WRT54GL, I wanna know that it's worth the money. Can someone give me some links noting measurable differences in performance between your generic "cheapy" router and the upper-end consumer stuff that can be had in the $60-$80 range? Thanks.

And I'm not really into 802.11n right now, since it's not a true standard yet.]]>Jun 30th 2008 7:10PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/30/netgears-wgr614l-wireless-g-router-openly-plays-nice-with-tomat/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/30/netgears-wgr614l-wireless-g-router-openly-plays-nice-with-tomat/Jun 30th 2008 7:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/30/netgears-wgr614l-wireless-g-router-openly-plays-nice-with-tomat/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/30/netgears-wgr614l-wireless-g-router-openly-plays-nice-with-tomat/
