I think you need to tell us more about the hardware in the router, or better still, run the RUC.

I don't know of any other 3rd party firmware for your router. dd-wrt has versions for Atheros that work with Fonera etc, but as the link says you need more than the 2MB flash 8MB ram you have. Your only hope is another original firmware for very similar device.

Hey i gave up on that ENCORE router i can TFTP the v2.0 1MB all day long but anything else
like DD_WRT MICRO_generic witch is 1.68MB.The TFTP say's disk is full.I looked for other firmware no luck.So I found this on line http://www.cell-phone-accessories.com/linksys.html
WRT 54GP2A-AT i checked DD_WRT I don't think they tested it yet.
Chipset IXP425
32MB ram
8MB FLASH
IF you Guys say it will work i will get it and load your firmware up.
your firmware does have bridge mode right,I know DD_WRT and openWRT does.
I want a wireless bridge so i dont haft to run cat5.
