Just bought one of these for £11 on ebay. Anyone foresee any potential issues with it being a USA one? Had to take a risk as there was only 1m 30s left on the auction! No UK PSU but Ive got one of those anyway.

no, should work fine provided the power input is ok.

These are amazing routers, they can be modded with linux and can run the spec of a £300 router. They have variable settings to increase signal strength etc with modded firmware, you have picked up one of the best routers made.

Fantastic cheers guys, Need to figure out how to mod it to pppoa now otherwise Ill have to keep the BT Homehub as a modem... stupid piece of crap.... mutter grumble....

erm, they dont have an ADSL modem in them.  Keep the homehub, but just change it to bridge mode.  They are just a modified Speedtouch 780 If I Remember Correctly.  I had my BeBox running as a modem in the end, but all the routing turned off.  Rock solid as a modem, utter sh*te as a router.

I would argue that fact - I modded one and ithe only routing protocols available were OSPF, BGP and RIP2. It was extremely light on features in comparison to say - a low end cisco 800 series.

I liked my WRT54GS was quite a good router, the modded software worked well on the later versions, and rarely had problems.....

....Until it decided to brick itself! One day just decided to die mid use, I know several people have had this problem, but more have probably not had any problems.

Good router if you can get it for a little amount of money, but I have now upgraded to a more sturdy router and separate AP.

On a seperate note - but just as I know thisll be Marks sort of thing....what do you think about pfSense?

Woo arrived this morning boxed, mint! As described it had a USA PSU (that was why it was cheap) but working for a huge Cisco Gold Partner I was able to get a freebie from the spares in the warehouse. Had to do a factory reset to get rid of the old users passwords to get in but now all up and running and confusing our sales guys!

Best £11.00 ever!
