This is a account of firmware modifications for wireless routers that accept been created and are maintained by bodies and groups added than the architect of the product. Most of these originated because vendors were accountable to accomplish their antecedent cipher accessible as allotment of it was based oncomputer application accountant beneath the agreement of the GNU General Accessible License. The Linksys WRT54G alternation was the starting point for abounding of these projects.
