DD-wrt compatible
incorrect, dd-wrt work is still in progress. No real solution there.
of the asus rt-n series, the 10,12,and 16 can use dd-wrt.
this is still a good price if you do not want dd-wrt or are willing to wait and hope that it will work in the future
However, looking at this ticket, no one has been able to flash dd-wrt on this hardware:
http://svn.dd-wrt.com:8000/dd-wrt/ticket/1440
Note also, this is the only one that does not have a Broadcom chip. The 10, 12 and 16 do.
All in all, I hope dd-wrt gets this to work as this is a good price. I just ordered a JTAG cable to see if I can get back my WRT54GS v2 from the dead. If I can't, then this would be a good replacement should dd-wrt work. Due to the chip, I don't think we'll see Tomato support on this.
latest build is from April 12th and only newbies have been testing it. They wouldn't (shouldn't?) be posting builds unless they work. One user states that it should load from IP 192.16115? If that is true it's a very easy fix. At $21 it's still not a bad deal with DDWRT impending.
Don't count on 3rd party firmware till it's actually released... too many routers over time to keep up with them all.
Actually, there are builds from 04-16 that "newbies" are not getting to load....however, I agree something is odd that dd-wrt is releasing firmware for this and those testing cannot get it to load. I am not sure why the instructions from whoever the developer is that is releasing this doesn't state explicitly to set the computer to 192.16115 before flashing.
well, they sure know how to fire sale this. OOS. Don't blame those who plan on holding on to a few and ebay them once dd-wrt support is confirmed.
I am moving into a house where every room CAT 5 wired and there was a panel with a brand name something like i'Q Home something. It has a door and when you open it there are blinking lights. In any event, my four port router is full up. Natch, a lot of things that are now wireless would be wired. Can I daisychain routers? Submit
Is is easier to buy a switch (hell, a 8-port GigE can be had for about $30 or less) and plug that into one of your router ports. In that way you can continue to add more switches when you need more ports. The from the switch, connect to the i'Q ports which are run (hopefully homerun) to each outlet in your house.
Since what sellers call consumer grade routers (with multiple ports) are actually a hybrid product that is a router, that happens to also have a switch in the same box (and sometimes same chipset), yes you can use any of these consumer routers' switches daisy-chained... but a 10/100 switch as contained in the inexpensive routers is even cheaper than this router.
However, another nice use if one doesn't want to string a lot of cable is to use the router as a bridge. For example if you have a computer room without need of high bandwidth to the rest of your client systems, or want to share a network with a neighbor.
#10 you can. Connect them with cross over cables if they don't have auto-sensing ports and turn off DHCP/route tables on all secondary routers.
