And I have never rooted an android device so that puts me in the hole as far as knowledge goes. Guess I need to really get started learning Linux!

So, I'll try and find some time in the next couple of months to get OpenWRT on there. OpenWRT is a bit more involved than DD-WRT, but it's not going to be much more involved than rooting an Android device, from what I can see.

Also the Meraki instructions to me are not as clear as if I went with DD-WRT. The Meraki units need a TFTP server/client setup with an static IP address. Meraki really wanted to make it hard to change things on the “free” units. Since the Meraki unit I have is not yet supported…Not like the Linksys devices which will allow you to grab any BIN to flash when you told it where to look. Since I have a very old WRT54G that I retired after it stopped passing packs from inside to outside I will try flashing that unit with DD-WRT and see if it starts working again.

But which build is the question. I would have to do a little more research to find the model number for the “free” one I have but has anyone used build 6999 20070508 on it? Thank you!
