Custom Router Firmware Upgrades.

[Michael172]

Im about to go on google, but i was wondering if anyone knew of any, and what benefits they have.

I have the Cisco Linksys WAG54G2.

What do you mean by custom firmware updates?

Why would you do that? I'd much rather have the official firmware update that someone hasn't inserted a back door into

 

[Michael172]

Better options, i guess. Nvm then.

Just get a better router if you want better options.
I'm running a PIX 515e and have a crappy Linksys range extender plugged into it to give me wireless functionality. It rocks.

I use DD Wrf for my Linksys router, as its running a custom linux I basically have access to every option you can imagine now where as with the default firmware it was very locked down.

Can you increase signal strengths etc with that too?

 

[KDF]

Yes you can.

 

[Michael172]

Yes you can.

Any chance you could link me to it please, PM me if you need to (incase its illegal).


What sort of options do you get instead then ?

The ACL and the mac filtering and the WPA PSK options are fine on the default firmware, but i was wondering what else you got with the firmware.

Yes you can.

Sounds good. It is not compatible with my router yet but will look into it as and when.
