DD-WRT vs OpenWRT vs Tomato
SavannahLion:
That's it in a nutshell. I thought there was a thread around here discussing DD-WRT but I guess it's not this board.
For those who know what I'm talking about, what did you choose for your router and why?

I chose DD-WRT because my brother in law had gone that route so there was a little experience at my disposal. I'm entirely happy with DD-WRT but have not tried OpenWRT or Tomato to compare. The reason I set up for DD-WRT in the first place was to connect a router to another router to create a wireless bridge between the two wired halves of the network. I don't do much of that these days but still do on occasion because I've got a couple PCs that don't have wireless cards.

Re: Damn dogs pulled the wireless router off the mount and now I have to repair it. Since the guts are now sitting on my work bench, I might as well apply the mods I should have added five+ years ago. Figured I would look into the firmware scene and see what's going on. The biggest three seem to be what I listed above.

I went with DD-WRT, trying to turn one into a bridge to connect a printer to my network. Haven't had a lot of luck yet (but I did +seem+ to be able to flash the router successfully, I can browse over to it and it clearly shows that DD-WRT is installed....)
I saw tomato when I was looking, but I've never seen OpenWRT...
