| The WRT54 is still one of my favorite pieces of industrial design. Small case, ~~purple~~blue and grey, two antennas. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linksys_WRT54G_series |

| My first WiFi router :) I bought it in anticipation of the Nintendo DS having WiFi capabilities, which I had never heard of before (I was like 13 or 14 then). Had to convince my parents to get broadband internet too. |

| One could stack them. |

You had a wifi router and a non wifi router in the same exact case with same exact front panel. But no, the modem was completely different form factor. |

| Still have one, still works. Would happily use it if it were still practical. I think you can still load OpenWRT on them, but there's no software route around the hardware being outdated and slow. |

| ▲ | ninjin a day ago | parent [-] | | As a counter opinion to "too slow" in regards to 54Mbps, as it likely depends on your use cases. My WRT54GL was the primary family router until 2018 and even worked just fine for live video broadcasting. Even today it sees good use for video calls with no issues at all. Lovely little piece of hardware that refuses to die. Just a shame that OpenWRT has dropped support since 2013, which feels a bit ironic given their name. |
