Thanks for clearing that up for me. &nbsp;My friend was looking for a router and I recommended the ASUS 520GU for $45 and I loaded on the USB NAS Tomato MOD firmware with Samba support. &nbsp;I got a bit jealous and was hoping I could do a bit more with my equipment.<br />

Your response was perfect, thank you! &nbsp;I'm not a Linux expert but know enough to get around at the console. &nbsp;I may take on the challenge soon.

First time poster. &nbsp;Hello community! :)<br />
<br />
Some people are modding the Linksys WRT54G's firmware. &nbsp;The older versions of WRT54G are the best because they have larger flash and ram capacity. &nbsp;I happen to have 2 linksys WRT54G routers they are V7. &nbsp;I have loaded DD-WRT micro firmware on in the past. &nbsp;WRT54G v7 only supports 2mb flash memory and 8mb RAM. &nbsp;Some folks are modding these routers that have the smaller flash and RAM with SD cards. &nbsp;I'm running Windows XP.<br />
<br />
My Questions:<br />
If I mod one of my WRT54G V7s with the SD card will I be able to load on the larger DD-WRT firmware?<br />
And<br />
Is the process of loading DD-WRT on the same afterward?<br />
<br />
Any further detail welcome! &nbsp; :)<br />
<br />
Thanks!!!

A router is a networking device that forwards data packets between computer networks. Routers perform the "traffic directing" functions on the Internet. The most familiar type of routers are home and small office cable or DSL routers that simply pass data, such as web pages, email, IM, and videos between computers and the Internet. More sophisticated routers, such as enterprise routers, connect large business or ISP networks up to the powerful core routers that forward data at high speed along the optical fiber lines of the Internet backbone. Though routers are typically dedicated hardware devices, use of software-based routers has grown increasingly common.

Routers

Wireless networking is a method by which homes, telecommunications networks and enterprise (business) installations avoid the costly process of introducing cables into a building, or as a connection between various equipment locations. Wireless telecommunications networks are generally implemented and administered using radio communication. This implementation takes place at the physical level (layer) of the OSI model network structure. The key hardware components of a wireless computer network include adapters, routers and access points, antennas and repeaters.

Wireless Hardware

A switch is a device that filters and forwards packets of data between LAN segments. Switches operate at the data link layer or the network layer of the Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) Reference Model and therefore support any packet protocol. LANs that use switches to join segments are called switched LANs or, in the case of Ethernet networks, switched Ethernet LANs. A hub is a connection point for devices in a network. Hubs are commonly used to connect segments of a LAN. A hub contains multiple ports; when a packet arrives at one port, it is copied to the other ports so that all segments of the LAN can see all packets.
