Users can do such things as restrict the times a WiFi signal can be used (perfect for households with children) and even restrict access to websites. The firmware offers features that are normally only on routers costing hundreds more. It allows users to access tools, utilities, and other features that aren’t available when using a router with the stock firmware that is installed out of the box.ĭD-WRT firmware allows users to fine-tune their router’s security and performance. DD-WRT is a free, UNIX-based open source firmware for routers. A DD-WRT-enabled router offers numerous advantages to a stock WiFi router.
Changing any settings will automatically update the setup command, so you can copy+paste it to the router's command box via a very simply way.It’s a good bet that many of my readers use a WiFi router that has been flashed with DD-WRT firmware. You can find these options in the Operator Area, above the setup command for a location.
That way you'll get the Router Alert working for all your routers. Setup Type: You can now select if the router is the single/first router at the location, or you're using a second, third, etc. Default is 192.168.20.1, but we found out that there are situations, where you'd like to install multiple routers on the same network, so changing the subnet before installation will avoid IP conflicts. Router's internal IP: You can change the subnet here. The setup script is now fully compatible with v24, there is no need to manually set anything after running the setup script.Īlso, you can set a few options for the setup script, which are the following:įirmware version: v24 or v23 (for those who still want to setup the router with DD-WRT v23) We've found out that the new firmware is much more stable than v23 SP2 under these circumstances.ĭD-WRT v24 also offers more features, includes a traffic grapher, support for multiple SSID's and more. Upgrading the firmware to DD-WRT v24 SP1 is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED for all hotspot operators with high traffic locations (for locations that often have 5 or more simultaneous users logged in to the hotspot). We've updated the installation video and instructions, and we're now suggesting every operators to use the new v24 SP1 firmware release. Due to the increased popularity of DD-WRT v24, we are now offering improved support for this new firmware.
