hi I'm new planning to buy a brand new router, there's few questions I want to ask all sifu regarding the linksys router.

1) Can I check the modem status( SNR Margin ) through WRT54G/L/S router?
or
I can directly check through by using DD WRT 3rd party firmware
or
I still need to do the manual way which is connect my modem directly to my pc?

Aztech 600E --> Linksys router

2) Can Buffalo WBMR G54 modem router flash with DD WRT? Is it better compare to seperate modem and router?


Anyone can enlighten me ?

thanks alot !

Hi,
I have bought a Buffalo WHR-HP-G54 with pre-installed DD-WRT V24 SP1 from lowyat few days ago. If I want to upgrade to new or older version firmware, can I upgrade through DD-WRT web page (administration > firmware upgrade) ?

please advice, TIA !

I find many shops, all WRT54GL linksys router out of stock. So my sis say just buy this since it support DD-WRT and pre-installed, she scare I brick the router, so in the end just buy it. >.< It's Rm200 FYI after discount from C-zone.
anyway, thanks for helping !

Hi Shawty, did you manage to make it work for vlan tagging on 500 and 600 for both internet and IPTV? I recently bought 1043nd v2 and read through details on klseet websites too. Found out that it only works for internet (500) and not for the IPTV.. have not try myself to flash it to DD WRT yet.

Wanted to try OpenWRT but the trunk version for 1043nd v2 does not comes with GUI interface by default. Need to manually include. Not so expert in command line ><

PS: I dunno how to revert back to original TP link firmware for OpenWRT too

After 6 hours of headache, finally able to make it work on both internet and IPTV.. the tricky part is the the port switch for 1043nd v1 and v2 are totally different. Figure out the correct settle for 1043nd V2

Tell me if you need my settings. By the way, I found that not much setting to set on OpenWRT. It more on package that we need to add on to OpenWRT?

Sorry, its OpenWRT.

What I mean there is the hardware for the port switch is different for V1 and V2 in VLAN based on OpenWRT wiki. Refer to this link: http://wiki.openwrt.org/toh/tp-link/tl-wr1...ports.for.vlans

PS: HyppTV and Wireless working fine but not wired LAN, not sure where I set wrong..
Update: I'm reverting back to TP-link original software until I have time to figure out the right setting.
