Indeed. Was mighty disappointed when I didn't find it in the supported devices list of dd-wrt (I kinda inherited it from my friend). So I ended up upgrading to Asus WL-520GU recently, and am running Tomato ND (Teddy Bear Mod). The instructions are all over the place so I had to mess around a bit, but the firmware itself is a breeze to use. Great UI, was fairly straightforward to setup. The (Asus) router has a neat feature - a USB port that lets you either setup printer sharing or you can plug in a usb stick and have a file server on the fly (yet to try this though). The latest Tomato supports both features, so I would say it's currently a better option than the famous Linksys WRT54GL (almost 1.5k cheaper too). The stock firmware that this router comes with is pretty buggy and useless (from what I read), so you should buy this router only if you want to setup Tomato/dd-wrt on it. > ...however, there seems to a hack that lets you get telnet into it: > http://blog.ktdreyer.com/2008/01/hacking-wgr614.html > > so, it might make a nice toy for someone trying to do more than just regular > 'ol > routing. Ah, this is nice. Couldn't find this earlier :) Vamsee. _______________________________________________ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
