DD-WRT Router Firmware

Post by link2009 » Sat Jun 14, 2008 3:30 pm

I just thought I would throw this out here for anyone that never heard about this.
If you own a router or a modem (Usually a router/modem combo), you know that there's software called a firmware on it that literally does everything from routing to assign IPs through DHCP.
These guys have written an Open-Source firmware driver named 'DD-WRT' that adds a whole bunch of new features to a lot of modems.
I personally use a Linksys WRT54G and I must say I love this firmware. It seems to have improved my TCP/UDP connections which helps with specific P2P applications such as BitTorrent.

That's the site in case you guys want to use it as well. I hope you report your findings back here. :lol:

lol Aaden you can't brick your router if you just follow the guide carefully, a lot of people have tried it with a whole range of routers.
John, I have no idea what that means.
