Some of you maybe familiar with the almighty amazing DD-WRT that I have been trying for years to try out on a router. Now DD-WRT will turn a basic router into an amazing hi-quality router with firewall and extra tools for routing. Pretty much turns it into a cisco device. Like you can amplify the power output settings on it so it can reach farther… now enough of that lol…
What I wanted to discuss is why is it everytime I try to buy something compatible with a 3rd Party software its always my luck that I fail… check this out…
I try to do an XBOX-360 mod on an XBOX-360 with a bad dvd rom drive. I goto ebay to find a replacement so i do that… two things the dvd-rom drive wasnt flashed with the correct firmware to play xbox dvds let alone crack it… so i look up on how to do it and it required a via sata controller or something in that nature, so that went all to waste… and samething goes for rockbox on my ipod and now my router… 🙁
I have an expensive router D-Link DIR-615 rev. E1 and DD-WRT isnt supported on it… its supported on all the other router revisions except this one… they are the same routers, lol, here check the screenshot from the website…

Of course, you could always purchase a couple WRT-54Gs, which are what DD-WRT was designed for 🙂

i understand that but first netgear… i havent really liked… i had bad experience… besides i had one of those and wireless g compared to wireless n makes wireless g look like its worthless, lol…. i really love wireless n
There’s a couple N routers it works on. WRT-54Gs are Linksys 🙂
Also, I’ve upped the power from the standard 70dB to 130dB and my AppleTV on the other side of 3 cement walls is lightning fast.
Looks like it’s supported now:

I have the same router and I’m looking into flashing it. You go first. Tell me how it goes.
ok thank you so much. Right now I am deployed but when I get back I will definitely give it a try. Once I am done I will post my results.
I just flashed DD-WRT to my D-Link DIR-615 E1. Works Great! Very easy to do if you carefully follow the instructions….
Thank you. I have 2 of them now so when I get the time I will Flash one of them. I am really looking forward to experimenting with it.
