[TriLUG] WRT54G vs. Asus WL-500G

[Joseph E. ODoherty]

I'm personally holding out for the WL-700 G which (it is rumored) will have 3
USB 2.0 ports and, more importantly, run at 300MHz

see: http://wiki.openwrt.org/TableOfHardware?highlight=%28wl-700%29

I'm eager to hear how well the 500 performs for you though! :)
