WRT54G

WRT54GL

WRT54GS

WRT350N

WRT600N

I know the 54 G is awesome... and the GS is supposedly faster... what's the GL?

And I've read so many TERRIBLE reviews on their N series stuff... and my mothers laptop can NOT connect to the 350N setup at their house...

What router would you guys recommend? I do heavy downloading and gaming.

GL was a re-released G since they stopped making the G with Linux installed so you could no longer install alt firmwares. After getting lots of bad press the GL emerged and the world cried with joy.

My GL runs Tomato and has done since purchase. Super stuff.

honestly I like the N router we have at my girl's place. It's the 300N and it's been great. TONS of features in this unit and fantastic reception on wireless. I can actually use it from my parking spot in my car, at least 150 feet away from the apartment, and on the opposite side of the building from our place. It's nice because then I can easily transfer music from my desktop to my hard drive that's hooked up to my stereo in the car.

The 54G (and GL) are great too though. Not really as good feature-wise (definitely flash tomato on if you want some extra features) but they're sturdy. I have them installed in a few small businesses and have 2 hooked up together here at my place (one upstairs one downstairs)

    • Epic Games says Unreal Engine 6 will help developers "build content faster" using AI models

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Epic Games says Unreal Engine 6 will help developers "build content faster" using AI models by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Epic Games is rolling out the latest major update to Unreal Engine 5 today, and at the same time, the company also dropped some information on the next-generation version of the product, Unreal Engine 6. This was already revealed a few weeks ago alongside the new Rocket League upgrade reveal. The company says it is combining the features of Unreal Engine and Unreal Editor for Fortnite to create this new version of its popular media creation tool. On top of creating entire games, the new engine will also focus on letting developers operate large-scale live service titles more easily, whether by shipping content into their own ecosystems or into Fortnite. The use of large language models is also mentioned here, with Epic saying it will be a core part of the engine. "We see LLMs, generative AI models, and tools like Claude and Codex playing a central role in helping you build content faster while maintaining the creative control you need," adds the company. Here is the rundown of what's new about version 6 of Unreal Engine: With all these changes to the programming model, portability upgrades, and generative AI integration, Epic says the new version of the engine will "change a lot about how games are made." The company aims to ship Unreal Engine 6 into early access in late 2027, with a full release planned for 12-18 months later. Epic Games also dropped a lengthy blog post about the new Unreal Engine 5.8 update for game developers over here. The release is focused on delivering better performance, customization, and streamlined workflows for development teams. This will be the final major update for this version of the engine before Epic switches to focus fully on Unreal Engine 6's early access launch.

      That is the thing, how many of these people don't realise they are using AI? If they use Google Search they have no choice but to use AI. So yes, maybe half of American adults do use and I expect a lot of Uk adults do to, but I bet most of them don't realise it. Myself, i avoid the rubbish.

      They use FREE AI. They aren't paying for this meme-generating slopware...
