Linksys WRT54GS version 7.2
The WRT54GS is nearly identical to the WRT54G except for additional RAM, flash memory, and SpeedBooster software. Versions 1 to 3 of this router have 8 MB of flash memory. Since most third parties' firmware only use up to 4 MB flash, a JFFS2-based read/write filesystem can be created and used on the remaining 4 MB free flash.

Always check the Table of Hardware .
Version 5 is not listed, therefore it's not supported.
Also see this, as you will definitely need more flash and RAM to have a good experience: https://openwrt.org/supported_devices/432_warning
