The BEST wireless router/firewall/bandwidth manager/switch...

Firmware hackers have turned the Linksys WRT54G wireless access point into, hands down, the best home/office
network appliance on the market for the money! (Well under $100)

With a simple firmware upgrade, it provides feature sets that can only be found in devices costing thousands.



I love FreeBSD, but when people start hacking these devices built on GPL'd Linux - I have to like linux just a little too :)
