Linksys WRT-54GC

I just bought this little box, thinking it must be the latest and best from Linksys. When I went to set up my PPPoE on it for DSL I could not finish the installation because my login is longer than 22 characters! What did Linksys have in mind when they designed the firmware? Fortunately, there is a fix for the problem in the recent firmware update.

Still can't turn off the wireless section, however. Very dumb product!

Firmware version 1.02.8 fixes this limitation and increases PPPOe username to 32 characters.

I also find the inability to disable wireless befuddling. We're letting Linksys know that this is a frequently requested feature and should be addressed in the next release.

I appologize, I reread your post to find you had already found the fix. I need to read more carefully before replying.

Do you have any other thoughts on this router? Wireless performance concerns?
