Can we use a power adapter and use this device in the UK? Also is it possible to use the web interface to update to the latest DD-WRT firmware

Power - yes, it's 110/220v, but you'll need an adapter for the plug. And yes, I think you can update the firmware over the web. I had little trouble getting the VPN working with this device.

The power input is DC 12volt, 1.5 amp so long as you supply the correct voltage it shouldn't matter where it comes from, either a UK 240 volt adapter or a 120/240, 0.5 amp voltage adapter. I bought a refub unit with strangely no serial number so I would need help from Netgear to update it. If you buy a full price one you won't have that problem and can update to software

Yes you need a specific adapter for the uk as they are shipped with us ones there was an instruction leaflet with ours advising not to use a travel adapter as this would not work and cause damage you need to find the right type of ac adapter that gives a regulated current and the voltage and current are in the box

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).

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 )

Yes, under the default DD-WRT firmware you can setup a guest network pretty easily. Their support is pretty good at helping if you need it, although sometimes you get someone who is clueless, so you need to hang-up and call back.

yes you can, it's peer to peer. but for updating the firmware you need a WiFi which connected to the internet

This a great universal power plug - Great for the UK etc. "G" - D and M will not work - sorry.

My refurb was a revision 1 which was important to me since I needed to install DD-WRT. Make sure everything works properly right away, though, since I ended up with a weird one--it works with the included LAN cable in the WAN port, but not with any other cable I've tried since. Refurbs can be odd birds and hiding places for trouble.

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.

yes but you can perchase a adapter for power up or down cheap from amazon if you like but yes works well in the u k.

Not sure as it never really worked well for me, even after I updated the firmware. I had it plugged directly into the router too!

Best bet would be to ask support at your VPN service provider for their instructions. My provider is Overplay.net They have a support section for DD-WRT modem setup. Your provider probably has a similar section.

Thanks for checking. I was thinking more to leave one of these units in Europe for non-techy relatives (e.g. older relatives who won't boot up skype to talk to me) But, they're bringing these out in "Q1 2007" in europe supposedly so I guess I'll just wait to avoid the hassle of plugging it into a converter. Thanks again for checking though and taking the time to post.

I don't know if UK version will work in US or not. You might ask the manufacturer.

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.

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...
