      I have the 350N flashed with DD-WRT and it's been up for 182 days now without any trouble. That's what I call a damn good router.

      I have a netgear 802.11b router from 1998 that's been up for 3,172 days.

      Now that's what I call lucky.

      DD-WRT is great to flash to these.
      Now I dont really agree with the 12x the range but I bought another and made it a repeater.

      *Yes I did adjust the transmitter power but it wasnt giving me the "blinding speed" I needed. The repeater fixed that

      Is this device truly DD-WRT compatible? According to the site's list of supported devices it says that there is a device needed for port and to PM one of the admins.

      Hmm.. I have DD-WRT on my linksys.. Considering DD-WRT is the same software, is it worth upgrading the router? Or using this as my main, and LinkSys as a repeater.. Interesting...

      3 things:

      1. This model the RM will work with DD-WRT so posters are claiming via a google search

      2. This doesn't look like it has Dual Radio so you either go all N or all G. If you have a mix the wireless will drop down to G when it detects a G signal.
      3. 10/100 no gigabit.

      Should we be worried about it being refurbished?

      I bought one of these just over a month ago. I WOULD NOT BUY AGAIN! I have spent countless hours with Linksys trying to get it to work. When I finally did the signal was so poor it hardly works. The wireless PC I have is in the next bedroom and the signal passes through and open doorway. Mine was a piece of garbage. DO NOT BUY - READ REVIEWS ON BUY.COM & SEE.
