Looking for DIR-300 or WRT54G to try DD-WRT

[untouchables]

i got a dir-655 and need to bridge the wireless to my room where my other computers are (all on standalone lan).

im tinking of using dd-wrt but need compatible wireless routers. not very confident of those saying they got bridge mode becos some support only wds or need to have same unit in a pair to work.

hence, im looking for dir-300 or wrt54 that i can flash with dd-wrt. anyone got spare lying around willing to give away or sell for a token?

or if wat im trying to do is not possible, pls stop me before i start :D

tia!

You should be buying a wireless bridge in that case instead of using dd-wrt which gives problem from time to time.

Anyway, what you need is 1 wire in and a switch to expand.

thanks for the alert on dd-wrt. i thot it is stable :s31:

wireless bridge support in high end model only and d-link dropped this feature sometime back liao so looking around. i found cheap Tp-Link WP340G 54F Wireless Router, but reading thru its manual, it said need to configure mac address on both ap. in my case, dir-655 dun have tis bridge feature so dunno can work or not.

wire in can but cannot lay it from living room where the dir-655 is, all the way into a further room, which is unfortunately, where my isolated lan is located.

DDWRT is not stable on DIR-300.

the BT problem has been resolved on the latest firmware released for DIR-300.

maybe think about buffalo whr-hp-g54, will run both dd-wrt and tomato. router not so tua liap and tua kee psu.

dd-wrt gurus, can i check... dd-wrt supports n draft 2.0? meaning if i flash my n wireless like netgear wnr-834b, will it be n draft 2.0 compliant so that i can run pure n standards instead of downgrading to g.

thanks!
