Linksys WRT54G Version Difference

WRT 54G This should be
The first form of the route is good, but the hardware version has also been updated many times.
(Novice) Note that the hardware version number is different, hardware configuration will also have some differences, including PCB board shape may not be the same.
V1.0: This is out of the earliest, configured with the following CPU model Broadcom 4710 @ 125MHz flash=4m,ram=16m wireless network card using Broadcom chip miniPCI
V1.1 version, in addition to the wireless module switch to Broadcom integrated, and increased the JTAG interface, basically no other difference;
V2.0 version, in the V1.1 version of the CPU changed to Broadcom4712@200mhz and the board has a serial port and JTAG interface;
V2.2 version, in the V2.0 switch chip from adm6996l to BCM5325, no other difference;
V3.0 version, configuration with V2.2;
V3.1 version, CPU frequency to 216MHz, the rest with V3.0;
V4.0 version, the CPU instead of BROADCOM5352@200MHZ]5352@200MHZ,CPU integrated switch chip, so that the special switch chip, the rest with V3.0;
V5.0 version and V6.0 version, Flash changed to 2m,ram to 8M, the rest with V3.0; (note that flash and RAM are small, equivalent to the configuration dropped);
V7.0 version, CPU and wireless modules are different from 6.0, the CPU does not contain the switch chip, the other installed a ADM6996, wireless module switch to Atheros.

-------------------------
Wrt54g-cn
On Linksys's international website, the model was not found and was only seen on the Chinese website, which, from the suffix, is estimated to be a model specifically for the Chinese market. (may have this version abroad, only the model number is different)
There is a saying that WRT54G-CN is the V4 version of WRT54G.
But I checked a lot of websites did not find this model of Flash and RAM, as well as the introduction of the CPU.
Also heard a saying that this configuration is cpu200mhz,flash2m,ram8m.

In addition V2.2 version and V2 Edition difference.
Version 2.2 uses a DDR dual-channel memory that is one-fold faster than the original SDR single channel memory.
The swap chip is BROADCOM5352.
Chip specific number There are differences, although are broadcom4712,2.2 version of the actual frequency of 216M

Here are the performance and test comparisons for the WRT54G2 Upgrade Ultimate version of the second Kill WRT54G/GS series

The earliest wrt54g V1 V1.1 is not recommended for purchase because the CPU is too slow
WRT54G V1.0 Rom 4MB Ram 16MB CPU 125MHz routing system Linux Max can brush dd-wrt std version Tomato wayos
WRT54G V1.1 Rom 4MB Ram 16MB CPU 125MHz routing system Linux Max can brush dd-wrt std version Tomato wayos
The following is the recommended purchase of the WRT54G version
WRT54G V2.0 Rom 4MB Ram 16MB CPU 200MHz routing system Linux Max can brush dd-wrt std version Tomato wayos
