Hello Steve, Yes the WRT54GS is included in this. Essentially any device that is a WRT54 or variant (any device using a Linksys firmware image at this time) will be ending support in April 2015. The devices will continue to work after this date, it's just this is when we have chosen to announce as the end of newer firmware image development. This means if you have a node in the field you will still have time to upgrade it even after the end of support date. This also means you can still use them to test and demonstrate mesh networks with as the firmware files will still be downloadable. Plans are also circulating around on documenting how the devices can be repurposed for other uses such as local access points or as a smart switch to break out the additional ports from a Ubiquiti device and should start becoming available as we move closer to end EOS date. We don't expect to see them disappear, just to find a new purpose in the mesh environment. |
