This story begins in December 2002 with the launch of the WRT54G router, a router that became known because it offered 802.11g (54Mb) wifi connectivity instead of 802.11 (11Mb), the most used in those years and also at an affordable price.

Because of this, a small company like Linksys at that time began to become known, however its biggest leap was yet to come. Some hackers related to the FSF began to do a little reverse engineering to find out what was under the hood of their router and of course they were surprised to find out that it was a modified Linux OS that it used to work.
