Recommended Posts

Posted

I am looking for a DD-WRT router my router will not work and I am afraid of bricking it. is their any place in Bangkok that you can buy and they flash it with DD-WRT? I like the features this gives the router but if you flash it and do something wrong on your own it can cause the router not to work at all. Thanks again

I have a Linksys WRT54GL which was about 2,500 and has served me well so far, installed with Tomato. It was very very easy to install Tomato. I haven't tried DD-WRT. Any particular reason (feature) why that would be better?

Try to buy asus rt-n 16 for 4000 baht. its very easy to flash and harf to brick it. its very fast and has 2 usb ports

thanks for the info, wish model number? I have a nice Belkin but wanted to use the 2nd router as an access point and let my give out ip's and use the DD-NRT for special DNS and or VPN and to get a stronger signal on the 3rd floor not sure if that would be tough to sit up or not. I wanted to install the better DD-WRT that needed at least 34 RAM I will check the router you talk about see what model will work best, thanks

PS if you just flash the router like up dating firm ware I could do it, but if you have to copy lines, add lines of code forget it, is it just like updating firmware?

Hi

I am using DD-WRT on Linksys WRT54GL and Asus WL-500W

For me DD-WRT was easier to flash on Linksys than Asus.

Asus WL-500W has more features and power than Linksys

it does not seem that simple to flash when I read upon it, that is why I thought having it done would be better I was told the ASUS RT-N16k will run the betterDD)WRT firmware. I am not sure what the difference is.

All my clients enjoy the asus rtn16, to flash it you might just have to use the strange command line thingy, this may help http://tomatousb.org...-on-asus-rt-n16 but in just in case the tftp method is simpler and far more engaging.

Flashing the DD-WRT firmware is just as simple as flashing a firmware update. Do the same as an update. Use a Lan line, choose "update" and pick the DD-WRT file instead of the update. Let it run. That's it. I've done it on 3 routers here and 2 at another location, very simple and never a problem.

I don't think Thai people can do this for you. I have rt-n16 you can't brick it. Its almost impossible. If you want to use dd-wrt you should learn how to do these things. Risk some money!
