Linksys WAG54G v2: The Hidden Pages
I have been eagerly waiting for the Wireless-N standard to be rectified so I can finally change my home router for a new one. I must say that during the years I had enough of Linksys routers. Although owned by CISCO, I’ve been quite disappointed with the level of features provided by my WAG54G router. However, while browsing www.linksysinfo.org I found about two quite useful configuration pages which seem to be ‘hidden’ in the router. In particular, there is a page to configure DHCP reservation; a feature that I’ve been missing badly!
This is the list of hidden pages in the WAG54G router. I have tested these using the 1.01.22 firmware and the work fine. To access these pages, point your browser to your router IP address 192.168.1.1
) and append the correct page address (for example http://192.168.1.1/dhcp_reserved.asp
).
