Publisher's Description

DD-WRT is a third party developed firmware released under the terms of the GPL for many ieee802.11a/b/g/h/n wireless routers based on a Broadcom or Atheros chip reference design.

For those XR500 users interested in using DD-WRT beta firmware - you can download it below. THIS MAY REQUIRE AN INITIAL FLASH FILE IF YOU ARE INSTALLING DD-WRT FROM A FACTORY CONFIGURED XR SERIES ROUTER WITH DUMAOS. DD-WRT is one of a handful of third-party firmware projects designed to replace manufacturer's original firmware with custom firmware offering additional features or functionality. Sebastian Gottschall, a.k.a. 'BrainSlayer', is the founder and primary maintainer of the DD-WRT project. 8:12 PM Ticket #6817 (WRTX AND linksys 3200acm are not listed in latest beta 41102.

Bugs, more bugs and even more bugs.

3 due to restrictions unless you have the paid version. I used DD-WRT for about 4 years and it did the job. However, with the limitations I decided to try something different and switched to Tomato. No restrictions, better UI, you can make many changes without restarting the router, it's just better all around. And, free.

DD-WRT is a good Firmware. I have used it for 3-4 years.
I am giving it a 4 as lately (since SP1)
1. it become very hard to track the latest version (beta version)
2. i had lots of issues post upgrade (features didnt work)
Have moved to Tomato. it has a better UI and find it to be stable.

I too have been a fervent user of DD-WRT for several years. However, having tried (and sticking to) Tomato myself, I second vcorvinus: the latter is indeed better for end users, and I don't see how saying that a firmware is better than another is nonsense. The Ajax interface makes it easy and quick to configure, it is more stable (even early betas were already more stable than 'stable' DD-WRT builds), and the QoS is indeed better. In fact, bandwidth thresholds are only available in the pay for version of DD-WRT as far as I know. The SVG graphs and stats are also vastly superior in Tomato.
All in all, DD-WRT is excellent for corporate and power users and deserves some points for that, but for most of us, it is not the best aftermarket firmware. So to conclude, DD-WRT gets a 3 because a critical feature is only available in the pay for version (strange for an open source project), while many non-critical features (for most users, such as Sputnik and wifidog) are included and contribute to exacerbating stability issues.
To be honest, DD-WRT was relatively stable, but needed some reboots at times. I never ever rebooted Tomato, except for erasing nvram during updates.

Note: SP1 was released months ago and is not considered to be one of their better milestone versions. If you can't wait until SP2, go to their forum and find a post which mentions the latest pre-SP2 version, which are considered better even in beta.

Even if the extra features are useless to you the stability is worth the flash to anyone. Put this firmware on your WRT54 and it will be the last time you ever have to power cycle. :) I have been running DD-WRT for years and have literally NEVER had to power cycle. With the OEM firmware it was a weekly event. Oh and a persistent DHCP lease table could be useful to just about anyone too.

I absolutely agree with Akeru. Excellent firmware. I've used the beta versions on my WRT54GS 2.1 for a few years and have never had a problem. You can brick your router with ANY firmware. As far as features;what's useless to you is not necessarily useless to someone else. This 'my firmware is better than your's' crap is ridiculous. Try some objectivity.

This is excellent firmware. People who give DD-WRT a low rating because they are comparing it to another product are being short-sighted. DD-WRT deserves a 5 rating, just as Tomato would get a 5 from me if it were on BetaNews/FileForum.
This is rating a particular product, not skewing ratings because you prefer one over another.

Best router firmware? Phuh. I say that Tomato is better. Doesn't have all the needless features, but doesn't have all the bugs, either. (And QoS works better.)

Betanews is late on this. This version has been out for at least a month now.

But..word to the wise, don't jump on a new release of this firmware, beta or not. Let others take the bullets first and possibly brick their router. They had a serious problem with a very recent RC beta, in fact, and though it was quickly updated, it makes my point.
John: This beta actually came out in late December into early January, with various updates to various models taking place during that time period.

mattep, I have to agree with Diam0nd. This is the place where something like this should be!
Anyhow, I have been using DD-WRT since back in the 1.x days and love it. The amount of features that you can wrangle out of some old Linksys wireless and wired routers. I currently run this beta on 2 WRT54GL routers and have had nothing but ease of use with both builds.
The only knock I have against DD-WRT is the IPV6 implementation. It was a nightmare to setup and still continues to be that way. Aside from that, 5 stars!

mattep, pardon me, but you're a moron. This is BETAnews. This place is NOT intendent for people who don't like and are not ready for bugs. This place is for all the enthusiasts and early adopters. It IS for betas.
As for the DD-WRT - best router firmware.

Dd Wrt Download Firmware Upgrade

This is a beta and it really shouldn't be here as, for one thing, not many people know how to flash routers and secondly there's no list of what version this is and what is supported hardware. Please post all details about this great firmware or don't post it at all.
Add to all replies: There's no need for name calling here. I know this is BETAnews but there's a lot of final versions released here. FWIW I am a DD-wrt user and fan. The release posted here is devoid of all info of supported devices etc and that's why I made the comment above.
You're all entitled to your opinions but just because we're on the net it doesn't mean we can dispense with civility.

DD-WRT is Linux-based firmware for wireless routers and access points. Originally designed for the Linksys WRT54G series, it now runs on a wide variety of models. DD-WRT is one of a handful of third-party firmware projects designed to replace manufacturer's original firmware with custom firmware offering additional features or functionality.

Sebastian Gottschall, a.k.a. 'BrainSlayer', is the founder and primary maintainer of the DD-WRT project.^[2] The letters 'DD' in the project name are the German license-plate letters for vehicles from Dresden, where the development team lived.^[3] The remainder of the name was taken from the Linksys WRT54G model router, a home router popular in 2002–2004. 'WRT', also used by the OpenWrt router firmware project, comes from the generic abbreviation for 'Wireless RouTer', which may have been the original Linksys meaning.

Buffalo Technology and other companies have shipped routers with factory-installed, customized versions of DD-WRT.^[4][5] In January 2016, Linksys started to offer DD-WRT firmware for their routers.^[6]

Features[edit]

Among the standard features common to all versions of DD-WRT are: access control, bandwidth monitoring, quality of service, WPA/WPA2 (personal and enterprise), the iptables firewall, Universal Plug and Play, Wake-on-LAN, Dynamic DNS, AnchorFreeVPN, wireless access point configuration, multiple SSIDs, overclocking, transmission power control, and the ability to link routers. A telnetdaemon is also standard. A few examples of optional features are a wireless distribution system and support for RADIUS and XLink Kai networks. DD-WRT's support for OpenVPN, WireGuard enables both protocols to pass all network traffic through a virtual private network.^[7][8]

1. ^'Micro' builds additionally require 128 kB of Common Firmware Environment storage
2. ^ ^abSmaller VPN JFFS builds are available for 4 MB units.
3. ^Only on DD-WRT v24

It is also possible to build a bespoke firmware package.^[9][10]

Version history[edit]
