Hello: The production number version is (E1) Go to Google and put in "What is the production number of DIR-615" and you will find a number of sites to find this information. I hope this has helped. Dan C.

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.

The hardware is more than capable. However the GUI front end was quite different than off the shelf routers. Many advanced functions were as of a couple of months ago only available from the command line. I've got one running at home for basic NAT, and saturate my a 25 Mb/s cable connection with torrents and it has no issue with that. However a high end Buffalo with DD-WRT , even if you turn off the radios would be my first choice. Unless you are going to use the POE for ubiquity WiFi.

DD-WRT & OpenWRT both now have (relatively) stable implementations on this router. It is coming along but as of right now there are better routers available if open source is highly desirable to you. I wouldn't purchase this router with the expectation that any particular firmware or feature will exist for it. If you're going to buy it you should buy it for what it ships with.

it's been a while, but I had all kinds of problems with this router until I updated it with the dd-wrt firmware. Since then, it's been great, no issues with my PS3. hth

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 :)

Like Kenny and Arthur, I flashed it with dd-wrt, which is much more flexible as far as configuration by the web interface, and it is much more reliable that way.

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. :)

I ordered on Friday and received today (09.21.09). I received a v2. I, however, want to use DD-WRT firmware on this device and as I sit here, it is working fine with default Linksys software after a couple attempts with DD-WRT (no success).

I do not believe the standard model does. They have the same model configured with DD-WRT:http://www.amazon.com/DD-WRT-RT-AC56U-Repeater-Wireless-PREINSTALLED/dp/B00JLQAWXO

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).

Buy a DD-WRT compatible router and flash it with DD-WRT (www.dd-wrt.com). Then connect your DD-WRT router wirelessly to your existing router by configuring it as a client-bridge. This solution will cost about $30-50 and you can connect multiple devices to it. This is the best way that I've found.

NO ITS PROBLEMATIC. The DD-WRT supplied with Buffalo routers is NOT the same as the community. I purchased one hoping to get Bridge Repeater function and that is replaced with something called WDS where you can bridge other BUFFALO routers. BUFFALO routers will not easily let you install DD-WRT and they are the most unfriendly when it comes to DD-WRT. IT appears that Buffalo uses DD-WRT to market their routers as enthusiast grade but thats it. They are also very well know to brick the router. If it is DD-WRT you are looking for STAY AWAY from Buffalo. Buffalo support (if you can get on to them) will tell you that DD-WRT will void the warranty. NO ITS PROBLEMATIC.

With DD-WRT, you have nearly complete control over the capabilities of your router. Any further questions or issues should be referenced at the DD-WRT forums (http://www.dd-wrt.com/phpBB2/) or wiki (http://www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/Main_Page).

The router is listed in the dd-wrt site, but I haven't tried flashing it. From what I can see, though, there's not much difference between the stock dd-wrt and the buffalo interface besides the branding. It didn't come broke, so as of now I have no need to fix it.

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/

The RT-AC56U router is supported. Ref; ( www.dd-wrt.com/site/support/router-database ). Also read posts related to this router in the dd-wrt forum.Third party firmware supported: Asuswrt-Merlin, DD-WRT - ref;( wikidevi.com/wiki/ASUS_RT-AC56U )
