Ok I looked up what dual band is so I would want that if I had multiple laptops with different WiFi standard levels I guess ?
Yes, but you don't, so you don't need it.
So is it true the WRT54GL would be bad with the stock firmware like the newegg reviews say ? Is the stock firmware different than the WRT54G ?
I'm not sure what they mean by that. As far as I've seen, it's pretty much exactly like all the other Linksys router firmwares. It's possible that they just mean relative to the replacement firmwares or something like that.
How big a place do you have? Do you ever carry your laptop to a part of your home that your current router couldn't reach? If so, you might want to be able to replace the firmware. You wouldn't believe how much you can jack up the signal power with the WRT54GL, and how absolutely easy it is with the Tomato firmware. You just change one number and you're good to go!
