I have used an all-in-one ADSL wireless router LevelOne WBR-3402A at my home for a few years. It serves me very good until last month. The router often hangs up during the night once a day and continuously increases. Last night, it hanged up and never come back again. Goodbye my friend!

Anyway, my life have to go on. My new target is a broadband wireless router Linksys WRT54GL which L means Linux. The firmware of this router is based on linux and it is opensource. I can do many things later on.

For more detail according to their prices, the WBR-3402A took me 3,950 baht while WRT54GL took me 1,950 baht. However, I have to mention that WRT54GL does not have built-in ADSL modem. Anyway, I am very lucky since [True][] has gave me an ADSL modem Huawei SmartAX MT800 for so long and now it is not useless anymore.

One thing I have to tell you. WRT54GL always give lots more better quality wireless signal for both 802.11b and 802.11g. In addition, I may reprogram this router using customized firmware, e.g., Tomato, OpenWrt and so on.
