does this router have dd-wrt preinstalled?

It comes with Buffalo's own DD-WRT which defeats the idea of DD-WRT. ITs not the same thing at all, for example it only lets you bridge (and certain other modes) only with OTHER BUFFALO routers. AND it wont let you install genuine DD-WRT. They frequently brick upon attempting to do so. When it comes to DD-WRT they are the least friendly in my opinion, ironic when you consider that the average person associate it with DD-WRT.

Check that the WMM is disabled. You can upgrade the firmware with firmware from dd-wrt which should give you better options controls and stability. I upgrade every router with dd-wrt much better.

I believe so. I have done enough of these [routers] that I don't use the instructions. If they are not in the package, the manufacturer Web site will have them in the support section of their site.

Linksys has no intentions of opening this router to open source. See http://wiki.openwrt.org/toh/linksys/wrt1900ac. Damn shame as I *had* it in my wish list.

Yes. There Is a configuration page that just has all the basics. I did that with mine when I got it and then started working on the more advanced functionality. Look up routerOS and you can.find a demo page so you can see what the interface looks like.

Mine didn't and when I downloaded it - the whole router crashed and I had to send it back.

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 :)

FYI to current customers: The current version is V3, and is not supported so far by openWRT/Gargoyle, and probably not DD-WRT.

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).

The unit I received looked new. The only indiction it wasn't was that the box was opened. The install went well and with no problems, though I can understand it might be intemidating for some. The trick is to install the software from the disk before plugging in the router. The instructions tell when to plug in the router.

You have to check if your connections match the antennae connections. I am not familar with your router. One time I fitted a Linksys router with these antennae, flashed the router with DD-WRT, then plugged the Linksys router into the Quest Router (a crappy OEM router, maybe similar to your Verizon router) and used the new router as the main wireless router since it had the upgraded antennae. So there is the long way to get these antennae "attached" to a crappy OEM router that doesn't actually accept the antennae.

DD-WRT.com shows support for it. I'm gonna install it when I get my router in.

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.

No it does not. This is only a modem it doesn't have any router capabilities.

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.

Sorry, I had to added a new router and it picked it right up. I did not have to go in to the router setup.
