Although the WRTSL54GS with If you are looking for the extra memory be careful with the GS V4. I have a couple of GS V4's and they only have 4/16 in them. The open wrt pg says this: WRT54GS v4.0 NOTE: v4.0 only has 4 MB Flash and 16 MB RAM. Half of prior versions. Some WRT54GS v4 has 8 MB flash and 32 MB RAM, only first relase of WRT54GS v4 had 4MB/16MB. So that would seem to indicate that there are units with 8/32 but the ones I have are 4/16 and there is no way to tell until you get it home and open it up. > the same RAM/flash also has a USB interface so you can mount > a disk (I have a WGT634U which has a similar feature). > > The WRTSL54GS can still be purchased also.
