New Linksys Entry Level Wireless Routers: WRT54G2 and WRT110

wrt54g2The Linksys WRT54G and WRT100 routers already have their corresponding replacements: the WRT54G2 and WRT110.

Both will sport the new black stingray look with internal antennas. I'm not sure if you can let it stand on its side, though.

"I asked Linksys what the plans are for the WRT54G and WRT100 and found that they will be retired once current stock runs out. I also asked whether a similar spin will be done for the WRT54GS "SpeedBooster" router and was told that it will also be phased out and replaced with the "RangePlus" line, i.e. WRT100, WRT110 and its descendants."

SmallNetBuilder also asked Linksys about the fate of the favorite WRT54GL wireless router, and the answer was it *will* continue on (for the time being at least).

It would be exciting to learn how these new sexy wireless routers would compare with the models they are replacing. I guess everybody will be waiting for confirmation that these new "eye candy" routers are also flash friendly. In any case, if you need a "flashable" wireless router *now*, and can't seem to find that elusive WRT54GL, I would highly recommend the DIR-300 from D-Link.
