"IT168 technology" with the increase in mobile terminals, the demand for wireless routers more and more high, I do not want to buy a wireless router, I searched the internet, and found that the wireless router can be brush "ddwrt" to increase the function, we are a very strong hands-on ability, but also not afraid of brush bad, I decided to brush my Netgear WNDR3400 wireless router to see the effect.

The first thing to say is that any manufacturer has its own customized firmware, known as the official firmware, the official firmware is often more formal and stable through the manufacturer's own test verification and support services, while in the industry there are a lot of third-party developers who start software that can be applied to these devices, but not officially, as Third-party firmware , Third-party firmware is open source resources, flexible functions, but because of unofficial, so manufacturers generally do not give support services, and even due to brush third-party firmware caused by hardware problems are not warranty, we generally do not need to brush, often brush the crowd including, brush ddwrt enthusiasts, network technology enthusiasts 、....。
