does updating the firmware of WRT54G2 allow us to get to the subnet range 255.0.0.0 or 255.255.0.0.
by default it doesnt support the same!

Hello guys,



Need some help here. Being a total n00b @ computer technology, I need some advice purchasing a wireless router. We recently moved to a duplex house and got a wimax internet connection for which I need a wireless router. We also have a Vonage VoIP phone using a Linksys RTP300 which off late developed some issues.

So can I get a device which acts as both a VoIP adapter and wireless router?

If that's not possible i need a good wireless router and VoIP adapter.

I have zeroed on to a cpl of linksys routers viz. Linksys WRT54GL, Linksys WRT 310N, Linksys WRT 160NL.



My requirements would be:

1.Being a duplex house I need good reception on both the floors.

2.Good data transfer speeds.

3.Budget is 150$ max(for router and voip adapter).

I have a cpl of laptops(Vaio VGN FZ35GN and 3 year old Dell). Heard a great deal abt WRT54GL but a lil apprehensive abt its performance compared to WRT 310 and 16NL.



Help me guys.......
