@Gamerpaddy just wondering what you have gained, other then possible errors on the system buss by overclocking your wrt54g wireless router cpu, Adding a heatsink mod may be insurance for unnecessary risk. imo like i said in the video. Now if you were working on boosting the wireless radio signal that would be diff.
@Gamerpaddy fyi, the wrt54g-tm has twice the memory as the linksys wrt54gl and DD-WRT MEGA fits to boost wireless signal power and firmware functions. 3 years running high wireless output and NO heat sink mod. ;)
@FirefoxPL hi, the cpu comes clocked at 200mhz from linksys although some products with the same broadcom chip in the wrt54g family were clocked at 216mhz so i am running mine at 250mhz thats a overclock in my book and still i dont see the need for a heat sink mod, powering a fan from the system board might warm up the power supply though.
why would you want to install a cpu heat sink on a wrt54g-tm wifi router when it is the wireless radio that is doing the work of increasing output power ,, 4 people dont seem to understand,
@captainmcduche i would say yes, but not in a sunny window sill. Also prob not necessary, and may cause errors on your network, you are talking about wireless out put power and not cpu speed? Most of the guys you see on the net putting a heatsink on there wrt54g router are installing them on the cpu and not the wireless radio, thats why i made this video as they are 2 separate issues, and these people fail to address that when they make these mods to their router.
@dankill16 I will bud,, just I am using the n router at the moment in my repeater bridge to the internet, plus there are some issues with that router and the storage link file table, am trying to get that sorted, but that video is coming.
i found the router.. i didn't bought it

as far as i know the CPU was designed for 264MHz, so by running it at 250 u are not actually overclocking and you don't need the heatsink

is it safe running a WRT-54GL at 250mhz without any mods?
