Which one is better? My friend sell me them and I must choose one. WRT54G ver2 is cheaper.
Help me please!

I'd go with the GL because it supports the newer wireless driver (newd) which makes available Vwiz.

GL will let you run more than one SSID on the same router.

If I flash WRT54G to DD-WRT, does it have this function?

No...V2 only supports a single Virtual SSID with the 4712 processor....

You are better off with the GL. It has a newer 5352 processor.

Wireless Drivers are different between the VINT and NEWD builds.

the 4712 units WILL run NEWD just fine unless you need BSSID. The processor will only support a single virtual SSID.

The NEWD running on the 535X based radios can have multiple SSID broadcasting at once.

The older 4710 based units with a wl0_corerev of 4 or less MUST run VINT builds or the NEWD driver will brick them. (it took me 8 hours to recover my V1.0 unit when the driver was updated back in RC6....it trashed my CFE partition)
