I am in the process of mounting a WRT54GL in my car and had a question in regard to power. I remember reading somewhere that the device requires 5 volts of power, which is what I used to power my other node via PoE, but the included power supply with my new one says 12V/1A. Any suggestions for mobile power?  Thanks.

The only WRT54G-series device that uses 5v are the WRT54G v1 routers.

And just to be clear. 

WRT54G version 1 - 5 V

WRT54G v1.1, WRT54GS v1, WRT54GL v1 and all other versions use 12V.

Also, the "12V" models will actually take a fairly wide range of voltages.  This post indicates 4-16V. 

I'm not sure there's an official spec from the manufacturer, so use that info with caution.

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

Ok. Thanks for the information. My current WRT54GL installation has been running with a 5 volt PoE power supply so I guess I'm lucky that that worked. Setting up my mobile node to run on 12 volts will be much simpler. Thanks.
