+ a metric ton for Tomato.  And for polarcloud (http://polarcloud.com/) in
general, the developer of Tomato firmware.

If you have use for it, the same gentleman distributes Rikaichan, which is
a truly amazing bit of free software.  (Just like Tomato.)

I have an Airport Extreme purely because it was the first to have wideband
5 GHz.  Very meh overall and I wouldn't recommend now... no QoS or traffic
shaping, no DDNS, only the thinnest DNS or DHCP features, no scheduled
access control, must reboot for simple things like changing port forwarding.

My preference is for something that can run the excellent Tomato firmware.

 To me, it's no different from any other HCL type situation.  If you get

 DD-WRT is getting to the point where hardware vendors are providing
 their equipment with it installed, so that's a good thing, IMO.

 I have 3 DD-WRT based devices running now (2 at work; 1 at home) and I
 haven't had any issues.  Still on the Aug 2010 release.

 Also, what do you use instead of DD-WRT?

Re: OT - Home Router ideas?

[Steven Peck]

Ya, at the time my primary need was for a p2p tunnel.  The other stuff
appealed to me but the community was in a weird transistion state as well
with the primary dev, etc.  The whole thing was just too irritating overall
in the end.  Also the basic capabilities of the low end commerical
offerings covered my home needs.  Now that I found the RouterBoard folks
that will cover any more specialized needs quite nicely now.

Re: OT - Home Router ideas?

[Andrew S. Baker]

The tunnels didn't appeal to me, because everything I need to connect with
is IPSec, but they only support OpenSSL.  Once I got over that, however, I
was good, because I searched for the best router that would support the
firmware before I bought it.

To me, it's no different from any other HCL type situation.  If you get the
wrong hardware, you're on a wing an a prayer.

DD-WRT is getting to the point where hardware vendors are providing their
equipment with it installed, so that's a good thing, IMO.

Thanks for the feedback, though.I have my own list of "not likely to
use" products for similar reasons over time.

Re: OT - Home Router ideas?

[Steven Peck]

First their 'tunnels' did not work as advertised and I spent months trying
things on their forums only to find out they didn't work per
documentation.  Second, it was such a pain to get the DD-WRT to work on the
hardware and you had to be very very careful to get the supported routers
model number and even then risk your money/investment flashing them.  After
a while, the risk vs what they gave you wasn't enough to overcome the
annoyance factor of the occasional brick at a time when the hardware was my
spare cash.

I don't handle work routers (Cisco) at home I have a D-Link that works well
enough.  For a point to point with a neighbor I have two Groove-5Hn that I
like a lot (PoE sitting in the attic just fine, though if I didn't have the
antenna's already then I would have gotten one of their integrated
solutions) .  I wil probably replace the D-Link with something of theirs
later this year.  Probably RB751U-2HnD or get a board and daughterboards
which would cost more.  Not sure yet.

I'm only throwing this out there since I am into home automation.  I'm sure
there are easier ways to do this, but ...

http://www.smarthome.com/71935/INSTEON-X10-Internet-Controller/p.aspx

So you would put this on the WAN side of the router.  Controlling it could
be a variety of other Insteon devices (stay away from X10).  In essence you
are pulling the plug, but can do it anywhere.

All my IP security cams are on their own network.  I am contemplating using
this or similar, tied in with my alarm system such that the cameras are
only accessible while we are away.  That way when we arm the alarm, the
cameras are viewable via internet.  Disarm, they aren't.

Re: OT - Home Router ideas?

[Andrew S. Baker]

I would rate those items higher.   I went with the Netgear WNR-3500L a few
months back, using the DD-WRT firmware, and have been very pleased.

Should address all the listed concerns.

BTW, if one is disabled some level of network access via a GUI, one should
ensure that the GUI itself is not dependent on that same connection.

Re: OT - Home Router ideas?

Router is in the mechanical room of the basement. He is usually 2 floors up
where his home office and bedroom are.
He thinks it would be more convenient to enable/disable from web page.
thx.

Re: OT - Home Router ideas?

No, but rest are fairly generic.
Family of 4. use the web for browsing, email and xbox.
Wireless N, decent range (home is about 3000 sq/ft), WAN/internet port over
10Mb (internet connection is 25Mb)
thx.

What's wrong with pulling the plug?
