I use DD-WRT on my current router... (not a linksys) but I purchased this particular router so I could install DD-WRT on it.
Incredibly flexible software, my router does everything I need it to.
M4L router
I used dd-wrt for along time, but gave it up when support for newer routers started going downhill. I switched to Asus routers, which support the Merlin firmware. Unlike Cisco/Linksys, Asus was smart enough to work with the author of Merlin, so stability has been awesome.
Nice to see Cisco catching on, but I think they’ve already lost a ton of sales over the previous policy.
I just sold an old router that was not digital. Our system got changed to digital. The guy wanted to pick it up. I told him sure and then he came right away though the frozen snow about 10 minutes ago.
That’s pretty awesome. I recently bought a Buffalo router that came with DD-WRT installed. If you are concerned at all about security, your router should definitely be open source.
Great software, used it on my old WRT54GS
Dont use that anymore (well I have, as an emergency wireless bridge when some wiring went out), but its good stuff.
