I use DD-WRT on three different WRT54GL units. One is my main gateway, and the other two are wireless bridges providing network connections remotely to wired-only devices, like TiVos, Playstations, etc.

I can also get statistics on my bandwidth using SNMP (one of the reasons I chose DD-WRT).

I believe they've managed to shoehorn it in to some of the newer smaller-memory units, but not necessarily all models.

I got mine on Amazon. I believe you can still get them too.

That's what I use as well.


Because it runs openwrt...

It can optionally run OpenWRT[1], DD-WRT[2], and other third party firmware, but for basic needs you may find the stock firmware works just fine.

2. http://www.dd-wrt.org/


...so it's a small linux box...

Actually several years back they cost reduced the model you'll find locally in retail stores so that it has less capable hardware and runs a different OS. If you want the capability to "upgrade" to a third party firmware, you need to get the Linux version, which is WRT54GL. You'll rarely find them on sale, but occasionally Buy.com discounts them.
