    on my WRT54G installed DD-WRT 24 no issues but wireless is dead on my WRT54G now.

    I did a hard reset sticking a screwdriver in the back letting router reset like some sites say.

    I see my router but still no bars. Is it safe to flash back to linksys firmware?

    Can you get any functionality if you hardwire into one of the LAN sockets on the back of the router?

    yes everything works but wireless. The router shows the name of my laptop so strange. I reset the router 3 times like I read in the faq. says after flashing do a hard reset.

    I decided to flash back to the last Linksys firmware and I got my wireless back. I was trying the dd-wrt.v24_mini_wrt54g for ver 1.1
