Using a router, can I "dedicate" bandwith to a certain connection as needed?

Thid party firmwares also add cool things like VPN, adjustable transmit power, better firewall etc. Well worth the small risk of bricking the router (won't happen if done correctly) IMHO =P.

While trying to restore the original firmware of my WRT54G (v5), it actually got bricked. I was doing this so I could sell it... guess it won't happen any time soon.

I did follow the procedure but there was something abnormal with it. While restoring the original firmware, the light were supposed to stop blinking after a couple of minutes, but in my case, it was still blinking after more than 1 hour, so I decided to unplug/restart it, even if they were telling not to do so.

I have heard there's way to unbrick it, but I've never looked further.

Depending on the specific type fo EPROM the used, you could just dupe a workign chip onto it if its removable. There is usualyl a way to reprogram teh EPROM in circuit as well. Id have to physically have the router to tell for sure, which isnt going to happen, so just post some detailed photos of the circuit board and Ill see if I can tell from those. Specificalyl you want pics detailed enough to see the chip numbers and the overall circuit layout.
