It adds a lot of functionality, and at a minimum allows for a boost in output strength so you can have a better connection. I prefer the Tomato version of firmware: Tomato Firmware | polarcloud.com

In addition, the linksys can be hacked to add a TON of functionality, though it appears they have expanded the router list that can be hacked to include D-Link.

DD-WRT :: News

I know when I hacked my Lynksis it went from being a simple home network router to have having a lot of the features of the network routers Ive worked on at work before. Its not for the faint of heart though cause you can brick it if you arent careful.

Finally someone who isnt a noob!

Get a WRT Router and put DD-WRT on it.

DD-WRT turns a $50 router into a $600 Router.

It will rock all your crap ass brands at the local best buy (dlink for one).

Supported Devuces

Installing it can be very difficulty depending on the router you get. So good luck!
