is DD-WRT installed on this out of the box?

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.

I placed my order on January 10th 2010 and I got v2. Unfortunately, I cant install DD-WRT, but I put the latest Linksys firmware on it, and it has been working fine doing just your standard web browsing. No problems yet...

I consider Buffalo with DD-wrt loaded to be one of the most solid routers around in this price range. I have a few customers that have had it online without power cycle for nearly a year.

DD-WRT and Tomato are linux based (I'm guessing pfSense must be BSD based). 802.11AC chipset drivers are still in development for both, so until the developers finish the drivers, you can't use any of the alternate firmwares with the hardware.

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).

I'm using dd-wrt.v24-18946_NEWD-2_K2.6_big It's Eko's Big build for this router. Works like a champ!

Yes, I use the WRT54G with Windows Vista 64 Home Premium and it works without issue.

Not true. All it does is listen for 802.11g a signals and rebroadcasts it. However, a better option would be to buy a Linksys WRT54GL and install the DD-WRT firmware on it. You can then configure it to operate in bridge, repeater, or router mode. See http://www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/Repeater_Bridge. The result will cost less, but do more. :-)

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.

Version number is under the barcode, beneath the battery. Beware if you plan to use dd-wrt or openwrt software, version v2.x is ... 'differently compatible'. Mine is v2.2, purchased 12/2013. Apparently newer firmwares (for newer 3G/4G parts) create issues with mods. Read up.

About a month ago Marvell finally released firmware and radio driver for development. DD-WRT is in the works but probably several months away from anything stable. But it is coming now at least.

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:

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-databaseAlso, 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. :) Yes.

There is discussion at: http://www.dd-wrt.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=170851&view;=next&sid;=970164f48f9bce92f137fccdfb92dcf7https://wikidevi.com/wiki/Netgear_JNR3210The answer would seem to be "NO".

There is no input for coax - so no. If you look at what DD WRT can do - this can do all of that stuff. There is some really advanced stuff that 99% of home users would never use.

Yup, running pfsense on it for my router. I didn't see any oddball hardware in it, so Linux should run fine as well.

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 )
