If you wish to use a different router, check that it is supported by DD-WRT, keep in mind that for some routers, only specific hardware models are supported (for example, my first attempt with a D-link DIR-601 showed me that only the A1 hardware – and not my B1 hardware – was supported). I chose to install it for ease of setting up new settings (even though the TP-Link router offers this service out of the box). It will change what you see when you log into your router to change settings (Typically 192.168.0.1 or 192.168.1.1). I plan to use this to extend my wireless network to improve signal outside and to provide a wired bridge to a networked device for homebrewing (BCS-460).ĭD-WRT is firmware that you can install on your router to enable extra features. I recently installed DD-WRT on a TP-Link WR841N router that I bought at Amazon for about $19.
