Consider printing this and keeping a copy handy to evaluate used equipment

Warning:  There are a number of router models made by linksys with confusingly similar names.
Check the model name carefully.  If it has a suffix or added letters in the middle, check the broadband-
hamnet.org web site to see if it's compatible.

Keep on the lookout for Rogers WRT54G-RG or T-Mobile WRT54G-TM routers as they are the same as the WRT54GS. The vtun tunneling needs the extra flash/memory of the GS to work. More info about the RG and TM can be found at
