why DDWRT MEGA V24

Well, because I can, and dd-wrt.v24-10404_NEWD_mega.bin fits. The WRT54G-TM wireless router has the largest flash memory of the Linksys G routers. It is this flash memory area where the file that operates the router reside. dd-wrt.v24-10404_NEWD_mega.bin is approximately 5.3 mb,

which runs from inside the 8 mb flash ram on the wrt54gtm. dd-wrt.v24-10404_NEWD_mega.bin has more features and adjust-ability then some of the other versions (micro) of DD-WRT firmware thus getting the MEGA designation. This does not preclude the wrt54gtm from using the smaller versions if the user does not need the extra functionality.
