I have a linksys WRT54GL router with DDWRT firmware but I've been seeing lots of reviews for Wireless N routers, are they worth an upgrade?
Follow along with the video below to see how to install our site as a web app on your home screen.

Nope. Also, get Tomato for that router...probably one reason why it is still so popular and has a high resale value.
I don't think its worth it honestly, i mean, just see so many N access points capable of up to 300 mbps, but only have 10/100 mbps network ports on them. Now how stupid is that?
He's running DDWRT, he doesn't need Tomato.
No, OP, unless you're running in to streaming bandwidth issues (local, high bitrate files like bluray rips) there's really no reason for N.
Yeah he does because Tomato has features that DDWRT doesn't.
..that he clearly isn't using / doesn't care that much about or he'd have it already.
How do you know?

@YeOlde -- I hate my Linksys WMP300N (I think that's it -- whatever their dual band PCI card is. I think it's a Ralink chipset. I love my WRT610. What card should I get to replace the trash Linksys card that'll still work well with it in dual band mode?
