does this support dd-wrt?

Absolutely... with no trouble. Just flash and go. DD-WRT comes in handy if you want to use your iPhone to supply internet to your WiFi devices, like I do, or if you want to have better control of QoS. While the ASUS software on this router isn't bad, DD-WRT is better.

Yes. This is supported by dd-wrt. You can type in "asus" here and see that this model is fully supported. http://www.dd-wrt.com/site/support/router-database Also, security is the best reason to use dd-wrt on any router you can. If you've listened to the tech news lately you know that home routers firmware tend to be full of bugs that aren't always fixed and home routers are becoming a major attack vector. It isn't worth it for most manufacturers to continue to update their older routers firmware b/c they want you to purchase new one. So yes, it is supported and, yes it is important. :)

You may not be able to put dd-wrt on the ones shipping from Amazon. Mine was a v9.0. The dd-wrt database supports upgrades up to v8.0. Some have upgraded successfully but complained about the lack of stability.

The bad news is that there is a problem with DHCP on this router, requiring frequent power cycling. The good news is that the opensource dd-wrt firmware completely solves this problem, and adds a bunch of new features to the router. You won't need to, but with the dd-wrt firmware installed you could configure the router to auto-reboot. For more info, see my review:http://www.amazon.com/review/R1GNF11WAIUPJS/ref=cm_cr_rdp_perm

Nope. This is the castrated version that is not hackable. Do yourself a favor and get the WRT54GL. The extra money pays for the extra cost needed for quality, even if you use the stock firmware (which I am using).

Not sure if it will do it with the stock firmware. If you are willing to take some time to learn how to load on TomatoUSB you can set it up in WDS mode and it will extend your wifi. Or DD-WRT can be set up as a repeater as well.

Yes it is supported. Here is the link to the page that show this, http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/products/routers/1800-series-integrated-services-routers-isr/relevant-interfaces-and-modules.html Thanks Dave

According to DD-WRT webpage, v2 is supported. Give it a shot.http://www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/Supported_Devices#Linksys

I got my wrt160n working with the wre54g. All that was required was setting the wrt160n router to bg mode instead of bgn mode. I also had to disable security on the router.

As an alternative, buy a cheap wireless router and convert it to a wireless bridge. I bought an Asus for 29.99 (after $10 rebate). Upload DD-WRT 3rd party software to it. The whole process took about 5-10 minutes, depending how familiar you are with the process. I was able to create a client bridge use the wireless connection, and I also have a "remote router" with the bridge with 5 Ethernet connections compared to one from a dedicated wireless Linksys Ethernet bridge. Check out www.dd-wrt.com for compatible wireless routers to convert.

No, it isn't currently supported. It is listed as "Work In Progress" so there is chance that it will work in the future but I wouldn't hold my breath. You can use the following links to check other routers that are supported http://www.dd-wrt.com/site/support/router-database & http://www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/Supported_Devices

I'm not 100% sure for tomato, but I do know for DD-WRT you would want the 4302 bin for the 8302.(I have the 7301 and 7302, and those are 3301/3302 respectively, the 8301/8302 are actually 4301/4301 units)The stock firmware is junk. the share and sharemax (3302/3301) have gone up a lot in prices since i started buying them. thinking of trying to get some of these to play with :)

DD-WRT and OpenWRT are popular customer firmwares available for certain routers. They allow the hardware to be used in ways other than the original factory settings, sometimes resulting in greater stability, or the addition of certain features. http://www.dd-wrt.com/ https://openwrt.org/

I believe you can. But to be honest I'm currently running DD-WRT on it (which I know for a FACT will let you do it, I use DD-WRT on another router to do just that).

No. DD-WRT is open-source firmware, and the only routers I know of that come with it pre-installed are a handful of Buffalo Tech routers. According to the DD-WRT web site, the WNDR4000 is compatible with it, though, so you can flash it yourself.

It DEFINITELY does NOT have DD-WRT firmware loaded on it. However, it's a relatively easy install should you choose to do it yourself. I highly recommend the DD-WRT firmware for this router.

Perfectly, getting ddwrt on it is a little tricky, but I have done it on two of these and they are both running for several months with no issues.

I believe it allows you to specific dhcp server and disable wan with the stock firmware. Personally I flashed ddwrt onto the router, let's you do all of that. Quality of the product is high I recommend it.
