Outgrowing Linksys WRT54G router

Have you tried alternative firmwares such as Tomato or DD-WRT. I have been using Tomato for quite some time now without any problems, and I have found it much more reliable than the stock firmware (and DD-WRT for that matter). Third party firmwares can also add additional features not available in the stock firmware that may be useful for managing more nodes.


DD-WRT may be supported for that device and it can easily handle well over 2-3 users. It's a third party, linux-based firmware you can install on your router that makes it far more stable than the stock.

Once installed, it's just as easy to use as the stock firmware, so it's pretty much set and forget. You'll have to download the correct firmware based on your exact WRT54G version (v1.0 - v8.2).
