I am pretty much enjoying my Tomato firmware. It seems to be better then DD-WRT (I find DD-WRT is now bloated)

i'm using the original firmware.. How do i "hack" the power upgrade? 70mw is fine? Will it overheat?

You'll have to flash a 3rd party firmware. Yes , it will overheat your router. You'll have to install a heatsink and its not safe for your health as well

Unfortunately , there aren't. So my statement is questionable and it is subjective tongue.gif. But I've noticed that my room mate kept complaining that he suffered from a headache (when I set my Transmission power to 70mW). But after reducing it to 35 mW he said that he didn't suffer from any headache. I don't know if its a placebo effect or he is just lying

Xtryfe , since you're more inclined towards gaming. I would suggest you to opt for the WRT54GL Wireless router as you want a reliable router. Do keep in mind that , you'll have to void your warranty to flash a third party firmware. But there is a risk involved

My 2 cents

Live dangerously i always say tongue.gif.

Hey Prasys is WRT54G wired i just want to confirm also why is WRT150N not good is it not wired. I know the saying new doesn't mean good. Also i know your a  WRT54G user with tomato firmware and play games so you do have experience in this modem just wanted to know about WRT150N. Also thanks a lot for the quick reply notworthy.gif.

At first my intention was to right a long-lenghty explanation but then I got carried away with the topics in RWI (hope you don't mind). WRT150N is just a remake of WRT54G but with 802.11n. I wouldn't recommend you to go for N unless you have a state-of-the-art laptop with 802.11n card. The other reason why I said to go with WRT54GL is that you can install third party add-ons such as a heatsink and even solder in a SD Card slot to upgrade the Routers RAM capacity so that you can run more programs. Thirdly , the chipset which is found on WRT150N isn't as rock solid as WRT54G (I don't have the link for this - Will try to find and link my sauce) I strongly encourage you to go for another model of Linksys (for N series) if you want to get a 802.11n router

laugh.gif No problem and thanks for the explanation. Now i know much more between the 2 series. My laptop does support 802.11n but isn't this for wireless. If that is so then i can overlook it as i said i need a wired connection not wireless so i guess WRT54G suits me the best because of the amount of tweaking you can do to it.

Biggest draw is the 2 firmwares for me DD-WRT & Tomato. If possible what is the price range for it i checked and it was stated RM159 not sure if correct or not.

I mean since I'm never gonna use my wireless capabilities i just have 1 last fact to confirm. Looking past the 802.11n does WRT54G & WRT150N share the same wired specifications or do they differ.

You do claim stability issues with the current model of N series. What other N series models are there and which do you recommend although i think the N series focus on wireless and the wired part is the same if that's so I'm sold on getting WRT54G. Once again thank you for your time and explanation probably might help another whose looking to get a good solid workable TMnut modem.

I'll pester you later about FIRMWARE upgrades and which i should choose that is COMING SOON! tongue.gif

I am not sure about the price range as well. I am guessing its around there as well. They do share the same similar wired specifications [but the WRT150N uses a new Network controller (For wired) ]

http://www.linksys.com/servlet/Satellite?c...d=1175239789B07 . That would be my other option if you insist on getting a 802.11n enabled router

Woot! rclxms.gif brilliant thanks finished reading em both sold on getting WRT54G but i gotta find out version. Damn there is a GS model doh.gif and so many different version numbers.

I gotta ask my vendor which one he is selling. Bloody Linksys can't make 1 model had to manufacture versions like no tomorrow. T100, T1000, TX tongue.gif Lucky they had a conclusion below their findings made it very valuable & easy to pick out the one i need rclxm9.gif.

Thanks Prasys icon_rolleyes.gif. Take care

No problem , mate. They have made it possible for you to identify the right version of WRT54G. I would recommend getting WRT54GL (L stands for Linux). It allows you to use 3rd party firmware too.

Guys, didn't follow DD-WRT for sometime now. So might need to confirm before i flash my router.

I am using WRT54G V.5.

Went to http://dd-wrt.com/dd-wrtv3/dd-wrt/downloads.html

-> v24
-> Broadcom
-> Linksys
-> WRT54G v.5
-> dd-wrt.v24_micro_generic.bin

Am I using the right patch?
*
Yep it is correct

what's the diff btw normal and mega/special version?

Normal - normal version , comes with all the normal stuff

Mega - Bloated up version of Normal. Normal itself is bloated. Think of Windows Vista + Dell addons. Its something like that. Oh yeah Norton Antivirus too..

hey guys, i have dd-wrt, can i insert/host 1-3 simple webpages inside the router, say save in the nvram inside. since there are still some rooms after the firmware. i need the pages just for for simple links, maybe with some css, or 1-2 pic. simple and shouldnt take more than 100kb. i believe is doable, but what should i do to get it done? so i just put the files into the router? or i need to install some ipkg pcakages? or i need to do a sd mod?

please help thanks

No need SD-mod. You can get a miniHTTPd and run off it. There is how to run your own web-server on your DD-WRT. Check out their wiki. I've tested before and its possible

As for images , you can use imageshack , reduces your bandwidth !

MX510 , guess you're a DD-WRT addict now eh ?. Things have changed. I remember our last conversation 2-3 years back when you were afraid to flash your WRT54GS !
