Hello,

I am thinking of replacing my modded WRT54GL into a La Fonera 2.0 with USB. Does anybody know how this device performs with Kamikaze? Does it have spare GPIO pins for connecting a SD card?

The reason for abandoning my WRT is that it is damn slow for streaming media through the internal host, and I don't know if this is a hardware fault or software problem. See post here: http://forum.openwrt.org/viewtopic.php?id=1875.4. Maybe anybody knows if this is simply the limitation of the broadcom chipset?

Is it worth upgrading and will the atheros chipset of the La Fonera perform better?

Thanks,
Alexander

I'd buy none of them. Get a Alix/Avila board and a Atheros wireless miniPCI card.

The discussion might have continued from here.
