 Posted: Sun Jun 17, 2012 7:07 Post subject: Advice on secondary router for wireless bridge purposes |
 |
I'm looking to purchase a secondary router for my parents as their wireless signal has very lower coverage upstairs. I plan to create a repeater bridge setup so the wireless signal is much better upstairs.
Their main router downstairs is a Belkin N Router which isn't compatible with DD-WRT, but I obviously want to make sure the secondary router is.
Does anyone have have any recommendations for a cheap N router compatible with DD-WRT? Doesn't need to have much RAM/Flash and its sole purpose will be for bridging purposes.

Main router:
Netgear R7000 overclocked to 1.2GHz - DD-WRT v3.0-r35965M kongac
IPv6 6in4 (HE.net), OpenVPN (with PBR and split tunnelling), Entware, dnsmasq with ipset
Easy ipset support for the R7000
VPN speed: Download: 77.96 Mbps Upload: 5.00 Mbps (AES-128-CBC HMAC-SHA1)
Yes you can get 50 Mbps+ with OpenVPN on a R7000 if you configure it properly!
Previous routers:
ASUS RT-N66U - The Dark Knight
WNR2000v3 - Bought on the cheap for someone else, neutered crap
