Advantages of DD-WRT

 

In fact, the initial prototype of the DD-WRT was released by Cisco, the originator of the router, and was carried on the WRT54G Wireless Router launched by Cisco's Linksys, supporting the highest 54mbps connection speed at that time. Soon, some enthusiasts discovered that WRT54G firmware is based on Linux. However, a basic condition for using Linux as an operating system is that the source code must be opened public. After this incident was passed on, Cisco was under public pressure, finally, the source code of the WRT54G firmware was disclosed. With the increasing length of time, many wireless device enthusiasts have made great efforts to develop third-party firmware based on the source code, and then install it on the wireless router, to replace the firmware installed by the manufacturer on the product. The DD-WRT is the most brilliant one.

The following are some of the advantages of DD-WRT I feel after using,

1. is a genuine router, there are advanced routing functions, other home routers are working in Gateway (NAT) mode, can not be from the WAN port to the LAN port routing package, DD-WRT can!

2. based on Embedded Linux, it has a high playability. If the hardware has a USB port (which I have), you can mount the USB device you can imagine. Of course, make some effort to drive you.

3. wan port can be divided into an interface LAN, only this small function, let those who buy back on the emex eight hundred a D-LINK 300 m wifi to rest, if I was present, I would never let CC buy such money frauds.

4. wireless can do AP, can do client (Home Router no original firmware can be like this), can client-bridge, can repeater (repeater, This Is The D-LINK of the liar, he lied to CC about the features of the vro he bought, and later proved that they are indeed scammers.) He can repeater-bridge.

5. you can use Wol. If you want information on the machine in the house outside, the router is on, but the computer is off, you have a headache, if your computer supports wake-up on the Internet (if not brainless), you can wake it up with a DD-WRT.

6. truly perfect VPN functions. Many scammers print VPN support or something on their vro boxes, but it is the packet penetration through port 1723. The vro itself does not have a fart VPN function, according to their logic, the manufacturer of the miscellaneous network cable can print the current network cable on its own packaging bag to support TCP/IP, ICMP, VPN, ssh, SNMP ......, However, DD can be used as a VPN Client or as a VPN Server.

7. The firewall does not provide simple packet filtering and domain name filtering functions. It does not have to be carefully studied.
