On my friends WRT54G router that I installed it always asks me for an ID and

happened to buy a "lemon".

You may want to reread the original advisory. My router, just like your friend's, verifies for the user-id and password when I check the configuration. The router does not verify the user-id and password when changing the configuration.

In order to test this, you'll need to hand-craft a web page or other tool to submit the change request to the router.

If you can verify one way or the other the behavior of your friend's router, please publish the router hardware and firmware version you tested. You can read the hardware version off the bottom of your router. The firmware version is visible when you log in to the router's web UI.
