So I'm new to this process, how do I make a donation? I bought a cheaper router to try and get some of the functionality that I wanted, but the ran into problems with the 4 mb flash on that unit. The WNDR4500 certainly has all the power I'm looking for, just need to get some cash to Eko so he can get going on this.

It appears there are already 6 or 7 people who have replied to donate, ranging from $10 to $25.

buddee mentioned the donation address is donate at dd-wrt.si.

So, if you have Paypal, just send the amount to donate at dd-wrt.si and in the notes section, mention this is regarding WNDR4500 (N900) support.

We've already paid for most of the hardware. If a few more donate, then eko should have enough to purchase the hardware.

I understand that you are very eager to get dd-wrt ported to the 4500 but don't let that come in the way for doing proper addition, there is $65 promised so far plus another $30 after a successful port and that can't be considered "paid for most of the hardware" Very Happy

There will always be someone bailing out in the end (previous donations experiences)..

The $200 needed was my guesstimate based on market prices for other routers with similar or slightly less specs.

I didn't really add anything up. I simply assumed that some of the previous people in this thread that asked would put $5 or more each upon seeing our donation train.

I also assumed there may have been lurkers reading this thread. We've had 1446 views, after all. There had to have been at least a few that want this router supported and saw the paypal donation link and contributed at least something. It had to be statistically viable that at least a few out of those donated, right?

As I'm new to this, will we know get a post or something when the hardware is purchased or when enough funds have been collected? Just curious, not expecting this to happen overnight or anything.

I thought I had bricked my E4200 with a Fractal build and found out throught that thread it was set to an unexpected IP address...so it is OK, but I purchased the WNDR4500 router in it's place and WOW what a performer. Running stock NetGear 1.0.0.58 firmware and this is by far the best router I have seen to date. Great range and signal strength, throughput is tremendous on 5ghz that I typically use. Everything I use works fine, DDNS, Port Forwarding, WPA2 Personal AES, etc. I have several wired and wireless devices on both radios. The gigabit wired network rocks too. DD WRT may improve the feature set over stock firmware and hopefully some performance as well.

Does the netgear telnet enable procedure work on the WNDR4500 anyone?

Is there a way to get a PPTP Server running on this?
