Ok well I'm really in need of a Linksys WRT54G wireless router today but Umart is closed and I don't know what else is open today. Anyone know of a place that is open and has them in stock? I'm on the northside and willing to travel southside and further if I have to.

The only two places I'm aware of are open are MSY at Slacks Creek and Gamedude.

It's a shame that neither seem to sell the Linksys :(

Computer Alliance are, but they don't seem to stock them either.

Bah, why does nowhere seem to stock great routers...

I got my Linksys router when I signed up to Internode, shame there in Adelaide.

It's a shame you're not :p
Hehe, just kidding darl :p

For a guy you talk a lot like a girl.

Teehee!

thats where i bought my wrt54g from, and from the website it looks like their open today.

$125 and they're in NSW I think I'll just wait till the second and get one for $95 a umart.

^^ They're in the valley. at little bit more from umart yes, but they don't aim at the same market as umart.

Any particular reason for the WRT54G?

The WRT54GL has either the same or more flash/RAM than the 54G, depending on the version that you are given .. and the newer 54G's don't run Linux, so no 3rd-party firmware like dd-wrt will work.

On the other hand, all WRT54GL routers run Linux and have 16MB Ram, 4MB Flash .. so it's guaranteed to be moddable :)

Here's an online demo of the dd-wrt firmware if anyone wants to see what features it has, without owning the router:

ive just moved down the gold coast and i dont know where to buy my new hardware down here any ideas would be helpful as i need a new puter this ones 3 years old and doesnt cut it now ..

i just checked the u mart link and low and behold they havea store down here so im happy.

I want/need one as soon as possible, I don't wanna have to wait a week for them to get one in.

Well I just went and ordered a WRT54GL off oztechnologies for slightly cheaper than umart but still have to wait till the 2nd anyway.
