WRT54GL is the hackable version of the Linksys Router. It is available for around 3500.00 vs. 2500.00 for the regular WRT54G at Lamington Road, Mumbai.

You can install either DD-WRT firware or Tomato on this router.

The new DD-WRT can also be installed in the non-hackable WRT54G.

Read the installation instructions at Installation - DD-WRT Wiki

Hi Shams,

Did you buy the router and how did the installation with dd-wrt go?

I have also read about another free linksys firmware called Tomato Firmware | polarcloud.com

Since I use a torrents I though that the QOS in the tomato firware would be a good feature.
