(Open source) 經典的 Linksys WRT54G終於有能力買了

還在唸書的時候，曾經幫學校玩過Linksys的東西(當年他剛出....超高貴的....還好當年是教育部的預算(?XD) 1x年後有機會自己去美國時，總算是自己帶回來了一台放在家裡study!
(BTW, 系所當年架的那1x台現在依舊健在，只是上面灰塵超厚的....不過學弟妹能用就好，當年真是認真幫忙尋找可靠度最高的機型阿還燒機了一段不短的時間....XD)

關於他的吸引力不在於規格有多優秀（....現在還有人會去買15年前的3C？），而是他開源的應用很多，可以讓有刷機、改機與架站的科技宅窩上好幾個周末來溫存（.....15年前被荼毒到現在還不夠XD??）
