I am assuming the IP address of the WRT610N v2 is 192.168.1.1.

For ~$35 on eBay, with its open-source firmware support and having two radios, it is an ideal candidate to create cost-effective, high performing, wireless routed client bridges. That solution leads us back to the Linksys E3000. Not all residents will need this solution only those with wired desktop(s) and those needing a “local” network for devices. Refer to this DD-WRT wiki page on “ Linking Routers“ specifically “ Client Bridged“. So, after many hours with vendors and internal discussions, we made a decision: the best, simplest, easiest option is to create wireless routed bridges. Currently we have older integrated DOCSIS cable modems with wireless routers providing this “local” network (e.g. Typical client-to-client isolation on campus wireless APs make this difficult. residents and students have a wireless printer, a Roku, an Apple TV, and mobile devices that all need to talk mDNS & UPnP on a “local” network. You can overclock it to 532mhz, has a 2.4GHz and a 5.8GHz radio (simultaneous), it supports both DD-WRT & Tomato, and the throughput is still impressive ~130mbps routed on Shibby v130.Īs part of designing a campus wireless solution, we searched-and-searched for a cost effective way to create per room/apartment VLANs e.g. Tomato as router, DD-WRT for wireless briges, repeaters).įor a router released in early 2010 (over 5 years old), the E3000 still holds it own. In the early days I ran DD-WRT exclusively, but in the last two years I have split between Tomato ( Shibby) and DD-WRT depending on application (i.e. The flashing procedure linked to above utilizes the capability of the VxWorks boot loader to flash over itself to upload a proper CFE on this unit that then allows flashing a 'normal' TRX firmware image.My Linksys E3000 dual radio wireless router was finally retired last week for a Netgear Nighthawk R7000. For it to be of much use, packages must be pre-included in the squashfs filesystem image. The WRT54G V5 is not officially supported, but a flashing procedure has been developed that will allow you to load a micro OpenWrt installation onto this device. It has less flash (2 MB) and less RAM (8 MB).

This version has switched to a proprietary non-Linux OS (VxWorks).

Openwrt also supports in with their micro version. It would depend on the 3rd party firmware you looking at, but yes quite a few of them may well support them Heh so you're saying v5 and v6 now work with these linux firmwares? Probably just select ones and not all/most of them? I know for a fact that linksys wrt54g v5 an v6 work with dd-wrt micro version.
