Dunno if anyone is interested, These routers are for the FON project (free wifi) so you must connect the router to the net for people to use (uses little bandwidth and is secure for local users)
Best part about it is you can use it as a fully functioning router for whatever you may need...

I'm using one as a small router for a couple pc's wheras I would have had to pay 60 bucks and i have not had one connection yet..

nice, cheap and easy

nice idea, not practical for home users. last thing i am going to do is let some unknown user use my connection for possible illegal activity.

however, if my ISP would like to resell thier bandwidth through my wireless connection and would back me on any legal proceedings should something illegal occur, i would go for selling wireless in my neighborhood. think about it... with a wrt54g and a decent sized antenna, this would be possible without any expense to the ISP. you could have mini-hotspots all over the place if the ISP would cut you in. you could be your own ISP per se.

I have the wrv54g and if it is anything like that one, you will be dissapointed. Max down speed wired or wireless is not very good. I have to say that wrv54g is absolutley the worst router i have ever used. I have gotten better speeds from routers 5 or 6 years old. In fact, I am using a 5 year old router and avg about 8-10mbps down and 700-800 up. With the wrv54g i get about 2500mbps down and 300 up.

I have spent countless hours tweaking that router and getting firmware updates etc... Be warned that if the router performs like the VPN version, you are not going to be happy.
