  • Good idea.

    You can still get the newest DD-WRT builds even on the WRT54G.
    That is a Wi-Fi router from 2002.

    Of course, the features are sort of limited. I tried the VPN build (on WRT54GL), but I couldn’t get the OpenVPN client to connect. I found some thread mentioning it may be missing something, but I don’t know if that’s the issue.

    Anyway, without overclocking I’d expect like 2Mbps. I mean, it barely handles HTTPS. Just trying to load the WebUI maxes out the CPU for several seconds if trying to use HTTPS.
    Perhaps it’s not missing anything software-wise, but it’s just so slow it times out during handshake.
    So I just put the std build on it in case it will be useful at some point.
