However I have one installation which has three of the Linksys devices running WDS (with WPA PSK) to give coverage over a large area. I have DD-WRTV24 SP2 installed on several Linksys WRT54GL and ASUS WL-500gP routers which work fine with Ubuntu 7.04, Mac and Windows clients running WPA PSK security. For example another very big project is the NSLU2, on which can put Debian. Other firmware like HyperWRT, OpenWrt or DD-WRT may also support other devices.įor a general but of course uncompleted overview of devices that run Linux you can have a look here. It also supports the Buffalo WHR-G54S, WHR-HP-G54, WZR-G54, WBR2-G54 and the Asus WL500G Premium. It has a noob-friendly web-interface, very detailed QoS-settings, nice graphs and statistics (screenshot ()) and you can change the settings without rebooting the router. The firmware I use on my WRT54GL is Tomato. Of course if you don't want to hack firmwares yourself, you want a router that already got a big community. You can flash all routers with an open firmware. ) Where can I look like all the models I could flash? I have plenty of "Busted" routers way out of warranty, didn't know I could flash em to linux, although they are Netgear and Berklin ( both wireless and both complete BS for reliability btw. This question might be better posed in the dd-wrt forum You could possibly set up a cron job to do this, however Im not exactly sure how you would do this. I use and this is in the default list, so I didnt do any customizing, however it looks straightforward to me.įrom looking at all the menus, I dont think it can ping a LAN machine and then post a message that its down. Possibly the linksys site might give you a hint on this - Why would you want to however?įor Dynamic DNS the version Im running has auto configuration for 7 providers and allows for a Custom option for updating. Im not sure if you can go back to the stock firmware. With some searching however it was able to be recovered so it wasnt that big of deal. Using wrt54gl with dd-wrt prerc4 (which I think is the latest beta), using it actually in repeater/bridge mode to repeat the signal from upstairs router.Ĭontrary to others - I did brick my router on the first try (have to install mini version first, and then can upgrade to any other version after that).
