Gross Anatomy Once again the router is virtually indistinguishable from the outside save for a sticker indicating the addition of SpeedBooster and the different model name WRT54GS versus WRT54G. The spartan LED setup remains the same and besides, who wants additional info on the connection speed or collisions? Internal Anatomy Let the conspiracy theories begin to fly - the only distinguishable differences from the non-SpeedBooster WRT54Gv2.0 is the doubling of both RAM and Flash. The System RAM gets bumped from 16 to 32 MB and the Flash memory from 4MB to 8MB. Additionally, there are two different solder pads for the Flash chip, the GS occupies the more forward and the GV2 the rearward. This may just be due to the flash size. The sites for the serial and EJTAG ports also remain in the GS motherboard. If anyone is willing to take the RF cover off their router, perhaps we can get a better look at the Radio on each of these versions. Obviously those people using "hacked" firmware that allows for add-ons will appreciate the extra memory space. The CPU remains the same 200MHz as in the v2.0 hardware.
