Is there any use for a WAP54G (HW ver 3.1) on the MESH?? (Linksys Access point)


I got one given to me by one of the IT admins I visit every day and wondered if it would be able to be used as a kind of extra set of "ears"??

It looks like the WAP54G V3.1 only has 8/2 MB memory, which isn't enough. BBHN needs 16/4.

I don't have an authoritative source for this info, just a little Googling. 

Even if it DOES have 16/4, it may not run BBHN. 

The OpenWRT and DDWRT web sites are good sources for info on hardware and how to reflash firmware on other routers.  Sometimes you can load BBHN once you've put a different type of open source firmware on the router.  However, BBHN will NOT load on a router that doesn't have 16/4 memory.

I'm not part of the development team, so take what I say with a grain of salt. I'm also easily confused.
