Linksys WRE54G version 1 Range Extender difference from ver 2

I have a version 1 firmware of this range extender. There is a new
version with a version 2 firmware out. Anyone know the difference
between version 1 and 2?

This is the HW firmware that cannot be changed.

Thank you
Patty

I have the same Range EXPANDER, Patty. Version 1. I had to upgrade its
firmware to 1.0.6 September 30 2005, before it would work with my
WRT54G v5 router.

One difference I am sure of is that Version 2 has an Ethernet port for
configuration access, while Version 1 has no port and must be
configured wirelessly.

Definitely the Version 1 firmware CAN and SHOULD be upgraded!

Thank you Jeff

Sincerely
Patty
