VaKo Posted June 16, 2006 Share Posted June 16, 2006 I've been using HyperWRT firmware in my wrt54g v2 for awhile now. Just wondered how it stacked up against OpenWRT? Which will allow me greater control over traffic management? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metatron Posted June 16, 2006 Share Posted June 16, 2006 OpenWrt make HyperWRT look like a piece of shit. HyperWRT is not much more then stock Linksys firmware with a few added features unlike OpenWrt which is far superior and far more powerful and make it relatively easy to run many things like Asterisk or turn you router into a kismet drown. You also have the option to use a command-line interface if you want to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VaKo Posted June 16, 2006 Author Share Posted June 16, 2006 Sounds like fun, I only have 1 atm so will it still work fine for stock stuff as well as the cooler stuff? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VaKo Posted June 16, 2006 Author Share Posted June 16, 2006 So it seems to work fine but I've got no WAN connectivity, however i'm failing to find a concise n00b guide. Do you know of one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mubix Posted June 17, 2006 Share Posted June 17, 2006 So it seems to work fine but I've got no WAN connectivity, however i'm failing to find a concise n00b guide. Do you know of one? If you have a cable modem, try unpugging it for 3 minutes and replugging it back in. Most Cable ISPs in the states have a MAC attachment that doesn't allow you to just plug in things at will, some have a 24 hour reset, but most are 3 minutes. If that doesn't work try checking if you are picking up an IP from your provider. If so, then check your routing table. Once those are good, you should have connectivity.

armadaender Posted June 17, 2006 Share Posted June 17, 2006 You may also want to look into DD-WRT, it will work with your router. http://image.lifehacker.com/software/route...uter-178132.php Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VaKo Posted June 17, 2006 Author Share Posted June 17, 2006 Now i like DD-WRT... very smooth. Now i just need to figure out what everything does. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
armadaender Posted June 17, 2006 Share Posted June 17, 2006 So you've installed it? Please let me know what you think of it because once I read that article I've been vying to ditch my old d-link POS and grab a wrt54g off newegg. I'm probably looking to do the same functions you are (white-list mac addresses, vpn, etc) and if the dd-wrt firmware works well, I'll put forth the cash for the router. On that note, does anyone know of a site where I could find non-manufacture firmwares for a d-link 614+? I upgraded to the latest off their site (3.44) and I'm still not impressed with the functions it's capable of. I've been searching google for a while now but all I find are sites that have been long since taken offline. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VaKo Posted June 17, 2006 Author Share Posted June 17, 2006 Yeah, its a whole diffrent thing. Bit complex, but there's loads of things in there that got me thinking. Just need to figure out VLAN support. If you do get one, make sure you read up on which version to buy before hand. Linksys keep changing the design.

mubix Posted June 17, 2006 Share Posted June 17, 2006 I actually run DDWRT as my main router, I run OpenWRT as a secondary for testing and tinkering purposes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mubix Posted July 10, 2006 Share Posted July 10, 2006 I actually set up one to drown out any other AP in the area, so it kind of works like a mobile emp wifi bomb.. bad idea to do in public area, highly illegal... again, guys with blue blazers with white lettering...
