Hi, i am not very sure with some of the functions, just wanna double confirm if you guys have knowledge about it.

1. WHR-HP-G54 is a "super-G" router, but from what I know it is not using mimo technology, it is using a broadcom chipset that support 125 high speed. In order to reach 125 high speed you need to have a 125 high speed wireless receiver too.

2. WHR-HP-G54 have extended range because they have a 4DBI antenna, is that true?

3. WHR-HP-G54 have AOSS, but AOSS only work with device that with AOSS, because I heard a promoter from simlim telling a customer "you buy this go home, press the AOSS button can work already. The customer is using a laptop to connect, so I dont think AOSS will work... Anyone know about this?

4. The high gain antenna is known to be 4dbi is that true?

5. Router and ap mode.
"If you using router mode, you can have wired/wireless connection, however if you are using just wireless, switch to AP mode and your wireless signal from 50m can shoot to 80m"
A promoter from fuwell told me that, just wanna confirm this because I know nothing much about this details.

Wanted to purchase a wireless G router, comparing it to DIR-300, it have only basic functions. However Dlink provide life time warranty and the price is $49 comparing to WHR-HP-G54 @ $88

Questions...
I dont need 125 high speed, just the range. If i change DIR-300 SMA antenna to a 4.5DBI omni-direction antenna will the wireless range as far as WHR-HP-G54 "extended range" ?

Just looking for value for money wireless G router for a 5room flat.

Search around. You will find this model has lots of firmware bug not fixed in English version of firmware. Japaness is ok.

So if you have not gotten one. Dont buy.

I have bought 4 of this WHR-HP-G54. Mostly for the extended "amplified" range. All 4 were flashed to Tomato on its first day of use. Non have issues and all users are happy with the signal coverage.

1) Whether if its a "super" g or not, does not matter. These enhancement are more or less getting obsolete le.
2) Its the amplifier that makes this product well wanted, otherwise .....
3) Correct
4) does not matter again
5) Unverifiable claims, fake.

you sure is fake? I went fuwell last week the buffalo promoter tell me very clearly even though I asked him is he sure about it? he told me 100% sure...

The gain of the antenna is impt because it represent the range right?
