Firmware kustom berkuasa ketika datang untuk mengutak-atik router Anda. Mayoritas menanggapi pembaca menyoroti firmware kustom pada router mereka dan manfaat yang disediakan. Kevin, misalnya, menjalankan seluruh jaringan Wi-Fi yang diperluas menggunakan DD-WRT:

My main router is a Linksys with DD-WRT. It runs QOS, a private VPN, some port-forwarding and manages my PPPOE connection. (My DSL modem is in bridge mode and is completely passive.)

I have a couple of other Linksys/DD-WRT units that act as wireless bridges. One of them is connected to a couple of cheap Ubuntu boxes that act as network storage and do nightly, on-site back-ups of all of my data. Now, if I can just find an off-site solution that’s not too pricey.

Trevor mencatat bahwa DD-WRT sangat populer sehingga Buffalo adalah router pengiriman dengan pra-instal:

I loaded DD-WRT onto my Buffalo router when I first got it and love it. Now Buffalo is shipping with DD-WRT pre-installed, giving you both great hardware and firmware right out of the box. I set mine up for remote access with DynDNS so I don’t ever have to mess around with IP addresses, and then configured all my computers and router for VNC and any other remote access I need.

Daymon, seperti Kevin, juga menggunakan router tambahan sebagai repeater:

I added a simple WiFi repeater in the center of my house, so the main router has a strong signal in the front part of the house, and the repeater gets that signal, and boosts it from that point giving me a good signal in the back of the house, and even out to my deck!

It’s wireless, and only needs a power source, so it can be easily hidden. I used the original router’s SSID, and just added EXT (extended) on the end, so I know which router I’m connected to at any given time.

Meskipun DD-WRT menerima beberapa anggukan, Tomat tidak pergi tidak dicintai. LVDave berbobot dengan:

One word: Tomato! I have a Linksys WRT54GL, and the difference between the stock firmware from Linksys and Tomato is like night/day.. I’ve tried DDWRT and others, and came back to Tomato. Best f/w for a Linksys router in my opinion…

Brodiemacnic menyukai Tomat tetapi berharap itu dalam perkembangan yang lebih luas:

Over the years I have used Tomato and DD-WRT on a variety of router but mostly on Linksys WRT54G and the Asus models. I find Tomato the easiest to use and even found a custom version that supports USB on the Asus router. It woks very well for network printing but I’ve found it a little difficult to use for a shared network storage. DD-WRT is much more feature rich but you really need to know what you are doing to work with that one. I really wish Tomato supported more routers that is does. It’s really a shame that it doesn’t.

Rothbart mengambil seluruh aspek DIY menggunakan ROM khusus ke tingkat baru dengan menggulirkan perute sendiri:

I’m using Astaro Security Gateway on a dual-nic dedicated machine. It’s like a super-router/security gateway/firewall/content filter/antivirus scanner/magic widget.

And… it’s free. I just had to devote a spare machine and electricity to running it. Well worth it IMO.
