Oh my god.. i also bought a v2 router... v1 and v3 is supported but not v2?? ARGH!!!...
I hope any developer will be able to help us ... soon
if you just bought it, return it to the store for a full refund ASAP.
in most of Europe you can return almost anything to the store for a full refund within 7 or 14 days, no questions asked, the one condition being that you have the receipt from when you bought it. Some stores even extend that time frame to 30 days.
FWIW, I've been using FW v2.0.02 Build 008 and the 160Nv2 has been rock solid for me for the past year or two. I really can't complain. I've tried all the other official firmwares and v2.0.02 Build 008 seems to work the best. The router is currently in service on my home network but I don't give it much thought, unless it breaks down. So far it hasn't.

It's not about stability for me... it's about the features dd-wrt brings to this router. I also hope v2 is going to be supported in the future.

Consumer Rights: Parliament approves new EU-wide rules for on-line shopping
An EU-wide right for consumers to change their minds about an on-line purchase within two weeks of receiving the good, and new requirements that on-line traders must give buyers precise information on the total price, the goods ordered and the trader's contact details, are among the benefits of new rules approved by the European Parliament today.
[...]
After today's final vote in Parliament, the last, formal approval by the Council of Ministers is expected to take place in July. Member States will have a maximum of two years to implement the new rules.
Only seems fair after lurking for years to make a simple inquiry. I too have this WONDERFUL router (aka POS) and would really enjoy having dd-wrt available for it.
Has anyone tried flashing dd-wrt.v24_micro_generic.bin onto their v2? Will it indeed brick the unit?
Yes, I realize and fully agree that it is less hassle to go buy a router that is supported ... but really ... where is the fun in that challenge?
