Ok, here is some pictures of the wifibox, what do you think, is it possible to get into the device and run dd-wrt on it?

looks like a ap61 with more ram and flash then a standard dir300 or similar

but it would be nice that i have one donated device here this would speed up things cause i can help BS doing stuff he hasnt sparetime for.

Yea, this would be the hardware I guess: http://forum.wippies.com/wiki/WifiBox_-_Hardware

Sorry for being lazy with this but it's not really like I need the box flashed ASAP so...
But now I got a working network at home so I guess I could send this away.

Just a question though, this device has a nice feature that lets you bridge it, not a wlan bridge but a bridge function for the lan ports. This makes the lan ports work like a switch and the wlan to, so maybe that's a wlan bridge... anyway is there such an option in dd-wrt? (I plug in the box(bridged) to another router through the WAN port and the LAN ports work like extra ports on the other router)
The reason why i would want to use this is that my ISP can give my 2 IP's with dhcp...

And also, I only have one device. Where would you want me to send it? Could I try and to some simple hacking myself with a few guidelines? The device has a local firmware upload/flash function...

oooh, I guess that means you won't send the device back. Never mind then, thx for your time Smile and good luck with the future development of dd-wrt!
I'll just use the device as is then and take advantage of its service...

There seems to have been some confusion with Megabits and MegaBytes... A quick googling tells us that "M25P64 is a 64 Mbit (8M x 8) Serial Flash Memory". (64 Mbit = 8 MByte, so it has 8 MB not 8 Mb)

IS42S16160B's 256 Mb(it) SDRAM on the other hand is correct, it equals 32 MB(yte) :P

Yes it's silly how people have gotten their FREE Wippies Wifiboxes and won't donate... New ones have a prize tag of only 34,90 euros on Wippies shop - maybe I'll buy one so I can donate :D

It seems that this box got the same hardware as Belkin F5D7230-4 1000yy (or 7002uk). But the Belkin one has less RAM and flashmem.

Hi there.

The Phillips SNB5600 also seems to be based on the same hardware.

I haven't read the whole thread, so sorry if this isn't something new. There are quite a few routers (Belkin F5D7230, Bewan APG61, USR5463, Phillips SNB5600) that are, my guess, custom builds of the "wg4005g" manufactured by Arcadyan. http://www.arcadyan.com/english/products/product_detail.asp?PROD_L1ID=00000002&PROD_ID=00000007

I've got two SNB5600, which I wanted to use as simple APs. Sadly wifi freezes after long periods of time, or when the router gets heavy traffic.

I'd donate one, with the hope of dd-wrt running on the other one, some time in the future, fixing the wifi.

Where to send to?

Edit:
An observation I forgot to mention. During startup the router responds to pings on 192.168.1.100, for a period of about 10 seconds. Quick tries to connect via tftp and telnet weren't successful.
