About DD-WRT

12. December 2004

DD-WRT was founded
The initial target was just a modification of the original Linksys Firmware for supporting
simple Radius Authentication, But I decided to add some more small tools and fancy things, just for fun.

Anytime in January 2005

Out from the great Response
from our Community, after releasing it to the public, I developed more and more features and started also to redesign the complete
firmware.

June 2005
Just 6 months later, i quit my regular Job in the Software Industry and started to work on DD-WRT as full time Job, at this time i joined
the Blueline-AG for getting some help with the financial background.

January 2006
Started todo some code supporting work for FON

May 2006
Since i was unable to fullfill my dreams within the Blueline-AG i joined the NewMedia-NET GmbH and finally i got the support for bringing
DD-WRT to the next level which was

September 2006
DD-WRT V23 SP2 was released which seemed our biggest success so far. many people still like it
At this time we started also porting DD-WRT to various Platforms like
Avila Gateworks, X86, FON Fonera and whatever was comming to my dev table. (about 90 different router types so far)

August 2007
We finally got a contract with a main vendor of Wireless Routers. Buffalo decided that they want to work with us together on future wireless platforms.

October 2007
The Buffalo WHR-HP-G54DD (EU only) was released by Buffalo with a exlusive DD-WRT Firmware

December 2007
The Buffalo AS-100 (Japan only) was released by Buffalo

Soon:

Release of v24 final. unlike some rumours, it will be activation free for all home or broadcom based routers like in the past.
We are currently in our final stages and deep in final tests. so keep patient until its ready. its worth to wait a little bit

18.05.08

We are very proud to release the final DD-WRT v24 to the public. After months of development and bug fixing we are sure this release is as stable and reliable people expect a DD-WRT major release to be. The v24 binaries are now available in the download section (click here).

DD-WRT v24 offers many new features, on of the most important is support of Atheros wlan chipsets and SOC designs. By supporting special features of the Atheros wireless designs like half- and quarter channels and extended channel support DD-WRT is now perfectly suited for long range wireless links. With this DD-WRT is now also supporting the whole Ubiquity line of wireless products using all available features the hardware offers.

Highlights of DD-WRT v24:
- Virtual SSIDs, Virtual DHCP-Servers, PPTP over WAN enhencements, Bridging + VLAN support, VDSL Support, OLSR-Routing / Freifunk, My Ad Network (powered by AnchorFree), Quaqqa instead of Bird (in X86 + Xscale default), PPPOE-Server, EOIP-Tunnel, Network configuration enhencements, UP-Downstream (QOS), New Packet Scheduler HFSC, Save & Apply, extended DDNS options, extended status information, New Languages, Sipwerk integrated Milkfish into the new release, turning every DD-WRT router into a SIP-aware firewall.


New hardware platforms:
- X86, Avila Gateworks, Cambria Gateworks, Atheros Soc (for a list, please look into the Download Section), Compex,Senao, Fonera, Ubiquiti

Thanks for all the help and response we got.

The router adapter was kinda hot but manage to get it cool because i put a fan near it and the fan running 24/7 only rest for and hour hehehe

Of course it's good the best firmware i ever had

Before u buy pls check the version of the router i advice you to buy from TechDos in Lowyat they still sells version 1.1 WRT54GS

Browse this thread for price

I'll stick on DD-WRT

Yes it does

Try upgrade them to standard version i'm sure full function will be unleashed

Just bought another WRT54GS for another friend yesterday manage to get Version 4 at Sri Computer and Techdos also selling Version 4 you can identify the version on the box they have serial number on it look for CDF for WRT54G or CGN0 for WRT54GS

Manage to flash the version 4 to mini using i.e and the flash it again to standard version working perfectly


There are serveral versions of the WRT54G and WRT54GS. different powersupplies, chipsets, features, though all based on similar firmware.

To find out which model you have please go by the Serail Number of your WRT54G/GS. this is the only true way of finding out.

Known serial numbers (first 4 characters) vs versions / Chipsets:

WRT54G
CDF0 = WRT54G v1.0 / ADM6996L Chipset / CPU 125Mhz
CDF1 = WRT54G v1.0 / ADM6996L Chipset / CPU 125Mhz
CDF2 = WRT54G v1.1 / ADM6996L Chipset / CPU 125Mhz
CDF3 = WRT54G v1.1 / ADM6996L Chipset / CPU 125Mhz
CDF5 = WRT54G v2.0 / ADM6996L Chipset / CPU 200Mhz
CDF7 = WRT54G v2.2 / BCM5325EKQM Chipset / CPU 200Mhz
CDF8 = WRT54G v3.0 / BCM5325EKQM Chipset / CPU 200Mhz
CDF9 = WRT54G v3.1 / BCM5325EKQM Chipset / CPU 200Mhz
CDFA = WRT54G v4.0 / BCM5352E Chipset / CPU 200Mhz
CDFB = WRT54G v5.0 / BCM5352EKPB Chipset / CPU 200Mhz

NOTE: The WRT54G v5.0 has 2Mb/8Mb Ram, it uses VxWorks OS and is incompatable with 3rd Party Firmware.

WRT54GL
CL7A = WRT54GL / BCM5352E Chipset / CPU 200Mhz

WRT54GS
CGN0 = WRT54GS v1.0 / ADM6996L Chipset / CPU 200Mhz
CGN1 = WRT54GS v1.0 / ADM6996L Chipset / CPU 200Mhz
CGN2 = WRT54GS v1.1 / BCM5325EKQM Chipset / CPU 200Mhz
CGN3 = WRT54GS v2.0 / BCM5325EKQM Chipset / CPU 200Mhz
CGN4 = WRT54GS v2.1 / BCM5325EKQM Chipset / CPU 200Mhz
CGN5 = WRT54GS v3.0 / BCM5352E Chipset / CPU 200Mhz
CGN6 = WRT54GS v4.0 / BCM5352E Chipset / CPU 200Mhz
CGN7 = WRT54GS v5.0 /

NOTE: The WRT54GS v5.0 uses VxWorks OS and is incompatable with 3rd Party Firmwares.

using the "SysInfo.htm" is not recommended, this gives on some versions the same answer and therefore cannot be used as an accurate way of finding out which model version you have.

NOTE: if you have a new version of WRT54G/GS that is not listed then please PM me with the version number and first four characters of the Serial number.

For more info on the Internals please check out our Autopsy here: http://www.linksysinfo.org/modules.php?nam...=showpage&pid=6

All it HyperMarket in Lowyat Plaza and TechDos in Lowyat Plaza both are selling WRT54GS version 4 rite now just bought them last Saturday :-) i pair them with Linksys ADSL2MUE Modem

Subject: V23 SP1 final is near
So far everything goes well we will release the next version v23 SP1. in the last days i thought a little bit about a version numbering change since SP1 contains many new features and again a cutting edge webgui which was improved in the last days.
noteworthy changes:
- live RSSI/NOISE and SNR statistic
- less memory consumption for supporting low memory devices (SE505)
- official Buffalo WHR G54s and WHR HP G54 support (my replacement for the unavailable Linksys WRT54G/GS/GL)
- ACK Timing setting support
- improved HTTP performance
- new UPNP configuration window
- browser compatiblity enhanced (including IE7 and Safari)
- Autoformating of installed SD Cards with EXT2 (sdmod)
- improved help pages
- http username support (default is "root")
- New CPU Overclocking features (use with care and at your own risk)
- Enhanced Site Survey
- New Etherner driver which should solve many problems
- Save settings improved (does now automaticly refresh the settings page)
- New P2P Catchall feature which allows blocking of all Filesharing services with 1 click

and many uncounted enhancements and fixes (for more details see changelog)

Don't install that Sputnik because it's nothing more info can be read in

http://www.sputnik.com/products/apf.html

Sputnik announced today that the popular DD-WRT open-source firmware for Linksys and other wireless routers now includes Sputnik Agent(tm) software. The addition of Sputnik is a response to growing demand from Wi-Fi service providers and software developers for such "carrier-class" features as scalable user authentication, centralized Wi-Fi management, and flexible control over security and quality of service (QoS).

Sputnik software provides central management for a network of DD-WRT-powered routers, adding a suite of subscriber management options to create a powerful access-controlled network. Wi-Fi service providers can use Sputnik software to set and adjust options for access control, user authentication, and equipment settings over the Internet using a web browser.

In addition to dd-wrt.com, Sputnik will provide the firmware for download from its site, and sells Linksys routers with Sputnik Agent software installed. Sputnik Control Center(tm) server software can be licensed for use in the provider's data center, and is also offered as a hosted service, SputnikNet(tm). Both are available at www.sputnik.com .

About Sputnik
Sputnik Inc. is a leading provider of software that allows wireless service providers to build Wi-Fi networks and manage them over the Internet. Sputnik's remote network and subscriber management features allow cost-effective operation in locations without onsite technical support.

Still got in Lowyat Plaza version for check for previous post in here to recognize hardware version based on their serial number

Price range rm 240 to rm 280 based on WRT54G / GS

There is one stupid shop selling for RM 340 he claim that he is the dealer for linksys products even though the dealer price if you have business card also very expensive you will see only Linksys Product at the shop don't get cheated
