| With the use of 3rd party firmware, such as DD-WRT, you can set it up as an access point. If you're able to log into your WRT54GS it is not dead, but more likely a configuration issue. |

| A little more information would be useful. What version of WRT54GS do you have? When you say you tried DD-WRT, did you first check to see what version of DD-WRT would be required based on your WRT54GS's version number? Have you tried resetting the router (both short and long)?
By not properly installing a firmware it could brick the router rendering it useless. |
