Hi, I just bought this Edimax BR-6675nd router too. It is working great as is bare bones out of the box but its GUI configurability is a bit on the skimpy side. It's a great stable solid router otherwise!
Edimax has posted the firmware source code on their support download site. I've downloaded it and untar'ed it onto a Linux RHEL5 laptop PC. Ran the make and build routines and after about half an hour worth of compiling and building itself, it finally finished and said it built the firmware image file successfully! However, it says the firmware filename is version 1.09 whereas the latest firmware that came with the router is version 1.13.
I am new to venturing into this modding of firmwares for routers so I have a lot to learn about what and where everything is organized in these source tar ball files. But I just wanted to post here that a GNU Licensed source code file is provided for those that already know how to get in there and start fixing and mod'ing stuff. Any takers? This is a nice router that is putting out a superior signal for me on 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz band, so I feel it is a router worth working on improving the interface and features.
The source code for the firmware can be downloaded from their download site here:

Hope that helps someone get started for a custom firmware.

I returned this router because after a couple of days the 2.4Ghz band acted up and would not connect until a reboot. Add to this, that there is very limited to no support for this company and router model and its firmware and I just did not want to wait nor deal with it. So I bought an Asus Rt-N66U router and that to my surprise (a Broadcom chipset based router) turned out to be a great stable router for my use. Good luck to any Edimax router owners!
staticfree: Wow, mine worked for 2 years straight with 0 issues or resets. Im surprised. I had a Linksys prior to this one and I had to reset that SOB every day almost! I smashed it into pieces after I bought this one, and believe me, IT FELT GOOD!
Now I use a Netgear Nighthawk AC-1900 with dd-wrt, use the OpenVPN, firewall and Guest functionalities on it and it is super fast! I have it o/c at 1200 (2 cores at 1200MHz) and transmitting at 1watt. Im sure my neighbors hate me if they have wireless telephones... hehe - but I get 3/4 signal all the way to my backyard and front yard too. Inside the house I get full bars! Can't get too close because signal gets worse...but that's the nature of the beast...
