Mikrotik with Linksys WRT45G or WRT54GS

Wed Dec 14, 2005 4:43 pm

does mikrotik works well with those AP ?

i will use it for radius, pppoe, dhcp server and connect it to
sectoral antenna.

and what type do you recommend? I mean the WRT54G v4.2 or WRT54GS
v4
depends on price and function.

i need answer as soon as possible:)

afaik linksys WRT does not run with routeros....
i'm running openwrt on 2 of those boxes here and try to replace them with a rb532/ros and an artem w2000.
Wrt's also have a mipsel cpu but for those parts better use openwrt/dd-wrt/sveasoft

You can use the WRT-G and WRT-GS routers if you you use versions 1,2,3,4 and flash the bios tohttp://www.sveasoft.com.

The software form sveasoft works great I have 40-43 units int he field.

I use ppoe and works great.

There is one problem. Cisco bought out the Linksys and they have come out with a new WRT-GS router version 5. It is a nutered unit that can not be upgraded because they 1/2 the ram and changed to a new o/s (no longer *nix).

So most people are buying up as many version 1-4 they can get there hands on right now. Sveasoft is now working on other units that can be upgraded to there software (which is every bit as powerfull as Mikrotik now days) And can be upped in power to 251mw.

However, with that said it is not an industrial grade unit which is why I use Mikrotik for all relays and using the wrt at my customers location. I would use Mikrotik if I could afford them.

Yes,
WRT54G work fine with mikrotik hotspot and Atheros / Prism 2.5 card.
I use this in WDS or Client NatRouter (Talisman) with PPPoE or normally
and not have a problem. Is perfecly compatible..
