DD-WRT is listed as INCOMPATABLE for the WGR614v10 that I have and I don't see the model class at all on openwrt. That would mean that I would have to buy a new one to start with - and I am not willing to do that with Netgear right now. Personal thing. Since Paul is loaning me a compatible unit, I will play with (at least) DD-WRT on that and see if it makes sense to do something else. I may consider purchasing a Netgear later though. If I find the Linksys adequate, it should be enough to put either DD-WRT or openwrt on that - and then maybe pick something up later on when things get more critical. I'm not pushing this stuff very hard really. -m > > > -- > > _______________________________________________ > Mid-Hudson Valley Linux Users Group http://mhvlug.org > http://mhvlug.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mhvlug > > Upcoming Meetings (6pm - 8pm) Vassar College > Dec 5 - SysAdmin Panel > Jan 9 - High Performance Computing > Feb 6 - Raspberry Pi > > -- Eschew obfuscation and pompous prolixity.
