I ordered the WRT54G from TigerDirect. CAD$89 but I've also found a rebate for CAD$15 that I'll print out and send in.

I definitely concur that sveasoft.com is terribly laid out. I first found it via a link from a forum. That took me to a docs page that had a top to bottom description of the entire interface. After going to the main site I was unable to ever find a link pointing back to that doc page. I also could never find a link back to the firmware FAQ.

There are forums on the site that are open and some that are subscription-based. There's no indication of which is which until you click on them. There's some release info in one of the first forums. Seems to me that the pre versions last for some time. There was a lot of discussion in the past it seems about their licence and GPL, etc... Too confusing late at night.

Tony, is it worth paying the $20 for the year for access to the forum and pre releases? I don't have any desire to follow threads from day to day nor involve myself in the ins and outs of the linux & firmware mods they're working on. I just want to set it up and forget about it until the time comes when I need a new feature they may have added to an update. Then another flash and forget.

Also, does anyone have any real-world measurements/evaluation of the range performance after increasing power to the transceiver?
