However, I have had a failed dd-wrt replaced under warranty. Other people I know have had the same experience and I've never heard a first hand account of a vendor not honoring the warranty due to custom firmware(I'd guess they don't even check on a lot of them since they are more disposable than ink jets now days). I don't know what would happen in your case so please don't interpret this as my personal warranty on your equipment. And yes in general dd-wrt is far superior in functionality to stock firmware(the stock Linksys/Cisco interface and functionality does leave something to be desired) although I suspect stock is sufficient for most uses. I also highly recommend running routers on a decent UPS. Flaky power can cause frequent lock-ups and/or premature death. I'm not aware of any N standard wireless routers that aren't backward compatible with previous standards and I frequent connect my FreeBSD powered G standard laptop to several different N class routers with no issue, albeit at slower speed. -- Adam Vande More _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
