If I could be sure I would get a version 4, I would be all over this.

 

Still a good deal on this great router.

Why? What's so great about version 4?

Why? What's so great about version 4?

Versions 4 and under are hackable.

[cthulhu]

Yea, I remember people talking about it being hackable. Let me be stupid for a minute. What kinds of hacks are possilbe?

[mrn8]

The main reason the hackable ones are nice is that you can increase the antenna strength. I've gone from 2 to one WRT54G in my office building because of using the HyperWRT software and increasing the antenna signal strenght. Linksys has the antenna set at something like 25% of their capability with their software and you can't change it.

[cthulhu]

Ahhh, now that makes sense. That is a really good hack.
