Shame it's not the v1 hardware 
Centrix-intl has refurbished WRT54G v3, in bulk packaging, for $39 if you need more ram/flash than is found in the later versions.

Whoa! Excellent price for this workhorse wireless router. I am still seeing them on sale for $50, occasionally $40. They have a new style case out, and this is the old case, but what the heck. It is a good router, have had one for several years. Linksys also has good customer support.

It's rare to find a used router on Craigslist at this price.

I was just thinking the same thing myself. Maybe a way to make a little more Christmas jingle.

I can't seem to get the link to work, or even find it on their site.

You have to click on any phone first and then it'll come up as an accessory.

Using V3 right now with DD-WRT v24 SP2 loaded, happy with it since the first day

With DD-wrt I had to restart the router once a week because my traffic would get super slow.
I installer hyperwrt + thybor and now it is rock solid.

I'm running Tomato on my WRT54G v4, which is extremely simple to upgrade to 3rd party firmware.
This T-mobile router probably won't be as simple to upgrade to 3rd party firmware. See this:

definitely a great router once you put open source firmware on it.

This is a solid router at a great price; I've had no problems with mine since I bought it some time ago.
