What are the differences between these three routers? The linksys WRT54G, WRT54GS, and WRT54GL. I want to get a better router for myself and use the Buffalo I currently have as a bridge to extend the range. (Can I do that?) Are there better routers for <$80 out there currently? Has 802.11n matured enough yet for instance? Thanks

Wireless N is still draft

GS has speedboost type of optimazation for wireless.

How does speedbooster work and why do I want it/is it worth it?

Here's more in detail about differences between routers.

Is speedbooster worth? don't know that one. You would have put them next to each other and test their wireless.

thanks, i didnt think to check wiki. I would probably get the GL because of custom firmware options. :D Sounds fun!

Well, DD-Wrt firmware works on all, maybe with exception of gs v7.
