With all of the high-speed hoopla surrounding wireless routers these days, it's refreshing to find a great product unobscured by marketing hype about turbo speeds. The Motorola WRG wireless broadband router lacks a proprietary turbo mode but delivers fast throughput in both standard It also has a feature set that's well suited for both basic Internet sharing and advanced networking for the home and the office. A configurable firewall and support for various types of encryption protect your network from intruders.
The Motorola WRG wireless broadband router comes with everything you need to start building your network. Aside from the router itself, the package includes a power adapter, a power cord, one Ethernet cable, a CD-ROM with documentation and software, a printed quick-start guide, and a stand for vertical positioning.
The hardware installation is clearly outlined in the guide, and the process takes only a minute or two. The router's bottom panel doubles as a mounting bracket, making it easy to affix the WRG to a wall or a ceiling, and the user guide on the CD includes a handy template that you can print out and use to help you drill the necessary holes.
Unfortunately, the printed quick-start guide lacks information for those running Linux or Mac operating systems or for anyone who would simply prefer to perform the installation manually. The instructions for manual installation are clearly delineated in the user guide, but we would have preferred to see a little information, such as a default IP address, username, and password, on the quick-start guide. On the other hand, the tech-support number is clearly listed on the quick-start guide, so help is only a phone call away.
The user guide is one of the best we've seen, with detailed instructions on using the WRG, as well as basic networking and troubleshooting information. The Motorola WRG wireless broadband router has one of the finest and most configurable feature sets we've seen on a home router. Its full array of features sets it apart from most other routers, as does its support for Wireless Distribution System WDS mode.
This makes extending your coverage area as easy as plugging in a second or third access point. Please see Installation for more information. Remember to follow the peacock thread first for background [1] , use this page to identify your router model correctly, and use the dd-wrt download search page DD-WRT Downloads page or secure version to ensure that you are getting the correct file or files, as often is required for the job.
Below are listed two methods. Try the first, as the second seems to be slightly more difficult, and possibly buggier.
Flashing the Motorola WRG is a multi-step process to get to the full version or a single step if the mini firmware's options are sufficient. Remember to use a wired ethernet connection when flashing firmware.
That means make sure your computer is hooked directly via a cable, and not via WiFi. In the original configuration by Motorola, the MAC address information for the Motorola WRG is not stored in the same manner as the other routers, so a special "mini" version is necessary to convert the router to work with the full version of DD-WRT.
This mini version has many of the features of the full version and may be sufficient for most users. Do not do it before updating to dd-wrt. I did it with dd-wrt and it worked but the MAC was bogus.
