OpenWRT for wrtu54g-tm

For years now, I have not been able to put OpenWRT on my WRTU54G-TM router (http://homesupport.cisco.com/en-us/support/routers/WRTU54G-TM). This is a special edition router that was available for T-mobile users only about 5 years. It has two Sim card slots and two phone jack slots which made it possible to use a VOIP house phone using through Tmobile. It was only $10 a month. Anyways, because this was such a specialty version of the widely popular WRT54G router, both DD-WRT and OpenWRT did not support it for a long time. Well thanks to the work of a few good folks on the Internet, I think this had changed. First, I found this link last night (http://wiki.scottn.us/wrtu54g-tm) which gives you information about how to install OpenWRT on this router. Then the website's maintainer then pointed me to this link http://downloads.openwrt.org/attitude_adjustment/12.09/adm8668/generic/openwrt-adm8668-squashfs.bin. This is the snapshot builds of the latest version of OpenWRT and it seems that they plan on supporting this router. It may be an old router with 200 MHz MIPS processor with 64 MB RAM and 8 MB Flash, but it is still kicking and supports 802.11g which is all I need. To install simply download the squashfs file (openwrt-adm8668-squashfs.bin) and you can upgrade using the Linksys Firmware upgrade webui. Afterwards, you just point your browser to 192.168.1.1. The default login for OpenWRT has no password for root user. You can find more information about first login here (http://wiki.openwrt.org/doc/howto/firstlogin). By default, wireless is disabled but it's easy to turn on by following directions on OpenWRT website. Also, when selecting a channel for the wifi, I recommend a channel that is not crowded ( I personally used channel 3, because channels 1, 6, and 11 tend to be the most crowded in my area). Also do not choose the "auto" option because that will not work (it took me about 2 hours to figure that out). Anyways, I just wanted to share this on the Internet, I hope that this helps someone else.

P.S. - The Wifi seems a bit unstable with Android devices, I was using Skype on my Android phone and it kept dropping calls every 15 minutes. But Wifi works fine for Netflix, Youtube and other online video sites. Not sure if this is an issue with the driver or not, it may be something out of the control of the OpenWRT team. Well, good luck and I hope it works, if you have any issues you can comment below.
