I have recently come across a large quantity of BRAND NEW WRT54GS v3.0's. They were a version re-released by Cisco for Rogers TalkSpot. They were deemed unusable for what ever reason. After a few hours I have gotten the process to re-flash them with the HSMM-MESH software.

 

I’ve tested one for myself, and its working like a charm. So… I would like to offer these to the members here, for what is way cheaper then buying the WRT54GS It’s self. I’m not trying to make any money on these, I would like to further the HSMM-MESH development and implementation. Included will be all of the original paperwork for the router, its box, the cabling, and wall wart.

 

I am working on a 2nd Version to have the modification for POE, as well as a POE injector to be included. More to come on that...

 

Does anyone have any interest? I am located near Brantford Ontario, but I work In Toronto near Sheppard and The Allen.

Was there something different about the flashing process, or do you just install the correct 54gs .bin file? 

If they're the standard GSv3 hardware, they're particularly useful because they have more memory and you can load a lot more stuff on them.

I'm not part of the development team, so take what I say with a grain of salt. I'm also easily confused.

Due to the WRT54G-RG firmware being custom, attempting to install the WRT54G firmware from DDWRT or OpenWRT causes a failure. However, there is a process wich I am in the process of documenting to post up here. Its not a complicated process, how ever it does involve flashing 3 diferent firmwares to the Router for it to be compatable with the HSMM-MESH firmware. I started documenting the process last night, and should be finished tonight. I currently have 3 already flashed and running.

Good.  I think I ran into a WRT-54G-RG in my shopping at one time.  It would be good to have a well documented process to flash them.

What I have put together is :

  • WRT56G-RG (In original Box, with all original paperwork, CD, Network Cable, and Power Adapter)
  • POE Modification done on WAN Port
  • POE Injector
  • HSMM-MESH Firmware Installed


$65+ Shipping. Does that sound fair to everyone?
