My old linksys wrtg54 with dd-wrt locks up. I am looking for suggestions for a new router that will accept open source router firmware?
http://wiki.openwrt.org/toh/start Don't know if you're dedicated to dd-wrt: this is of course OpenWRT. (Ah, Chris has sent this as I'm writing). My understanding is that, as a brand, TP-Link has been the least obstructive and makes pretty good products at a reasonable price: Canada Computers carries a number of them. I own (among other old WAPs) a TP-Link MR-3020, which has worked fine - but it's not a home router, it's a lightweight thing for Pirate Boxes or single user connections. I've also been given to understand that Linksys's replacement for the WRT-54g that they recently put out there with much fanfare, the 1900AC, is A) expensive, and B) not as open as they claim it is, and therefore not working terribly well as a replacement for the WRT-54G. If you were okay with the throughput of the WRT-54G, they can be had used from the usual suspects (I got mine at garage sales, but that's hit-and-miss - mostly "miss") for $10 or $15. -- Giles http://www.gilesorr.com/ gilesorr@gmail.com
