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.

Two months after the release of the milestone v24 we are happy to give a refined release to the public, v24 SP1. Besides the official support of new hardware platforms and the addition of some new features we did enhance the usability and stability of many functions inside DD-WRT. We did also incorporate the patches for the recently published dns exploit issue. We'd like to make clear that the DD-WRT default configuration in v23 / v24 is not vulnerable, so there was and is no risk for dd-wrt users. There was also a security issue in the site survey that is not published yet and is fixed in the v24 SP1.
Thanks to all the people out there that give us reports and did help us identify issues, we are glad that there are so many people that support this project.
(Almost) Complete list of enhancements in v24 SP1:
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.
