  3. Re:Well duh, it's hackable on The WRT54GL: A 54Mbps Router From 2005 Still Makes Millions For Linksys · · Score: 1

    Big diffrence between "Hackable" and "Open," the later being designed to create an ease of use. Linksys actually stopped making them (the open L version) for a short period only to be met with huge backlash from the open source firmware community. Don't get me wrong, someone advanced enough could add USB or a card reader slot to the hardware and 'hack it' but it's built to be an inexpensive option for the open source firmware community that allows custom firmware.
