Hello all. I got a WRT54G today and was looking at all the alternative firmware out there o nthe web. However, they all seem to be for the version 1, 2, and 3. Mine is a version 4. I noticed that linksys.com doesn't even have firmware for this router (in fact it doesn't even have a page for it). Is the version 4 really new? Is there any firmware that works on version 4 of this router?

The WRT54G uses the Broadcom chipset and the firmware is open source (linux). Supposedly the last Linksys version available is 4.20.6. There are third parties working on upgrades/changes/additions. Third party offerings do not have to follow Linksys versions as they may provide totally different features than the original.
