How can you turn your route into a toy ?!

1. What is DD-WRT?

For the sake of respect, it is necessary to give a brief introduction to the predecessor of the DD-WRT, The DD-WRT is a "third-party" firmware, used for Linksys WRT54G/GS/GL or other 802.11g wireless routers based on the Broadcom reference design. Because these routers use the Linux operating system, the manufacturer has released the source code of these firmware based on the GPL terms.

The first version of DD-WRT was developed based on alchemy of sveasoft Inc, And now uses the source code to hack and bring everyone the gospel of a suspected German called brain slayer, you can find him by email: brainslayer@braincontrol.org.

Someone maintained a Chinese wiki on the DD-WRT and gave a very detailed introduction to DD-WRT.

2. What can DD-WRT do?

Just list a few items to make people drool!

3. How to start with DD-WRT?

Let's see how to install Wiki in all aspects.

Note the following points: 1. If you are using the Linksys WRT54G series, you must buy V4. V5/v6 is not as scalable as V4, because the hardware configuration has been reduced, V7 does not need to be considered at all. However, unfortunately, Linksys is only available for V7 now, and only inventory can be found for V4; 2. Because Linksys's official firmware restricts the size of files that can be upgraded through the Web, you must first upgrade the mini version of DD-WRT, you can only upgrade other advanced versions such as VPN and VoIP. If you use TFTP, telnet, or web, you will be better off. 3. If you use Web, we recommend that you use Internet Explorer, you must Upgrade Firefox to 1.5.0.x at least. Otherwise, compatibility issues may occur.

Have fun!
