No problems at all here using this with TalkTalk. Got a AG241 in bridge mode connected to the WRT54GL. The WRT54GL then connects via PPPOE. You must understand that the E is Ethernet and the A is ATM. The WRT54GL contains NO modem so it cannot handle ADSL on it’s own. Paired with the AG241 the connection remains stable for months without a reboot.
Using DD-WRT v24-sp2 (07/21/09) std Firmware unleashes this beast. As long as you got the technical ability there is no other router out there that can do what this can for the same price!!
as this modem is incompatible with their service. this router only uses pppoe and most uk broadband providers use pppoa.this router would be great for cable but avoid it if you have a dsl line.
Had this router for years, never failed, connection signal via wifi is enough even in my rather long house. its simple as hell to set up compared to the other brands.
I bought this because my current router is old and becoming faulty, I get it then it says something about connecting it to a modem, my other router just pluged into the wall with a network cable. I tried ignoreing this step but the hole for the network cable is to big and doesn’t fit right. So I go looking for modem to buy even though I thought I had one? (the bit on the wall) But there is no modems like the one it’s telling me to plug into. complete waste of money.
I bought the router to use as a bridge for my Speedtouch, and it works excellently – as expected. I got the info from online forums after buying the wrong router from another company (not their fault).
Recommended if you need a bridge, or if you want to install your own firmware on something. It’s old, but that doesn’t seem to matter at all.
