Can somebody please add the ASUS WL500G-Premium to the list of supported hardware. I was not sure if this router is supported, but after searching this forum this is clear now.

ps: good work

ah ok, there is the actual hardware support list.
I was looking in the Wiki DD-WRT Docu (EN) (as other users may do it) and there you dont find the actual list.

The buffalo offer is nice. Just one question, can i install teh tinyproxy package? Is there enough space on the router and is the router fast enough for doing proxy stuff?

Hey there, I am a little confused Confused

The site says that the ASUS-WL500 is the best compatible hardware. Does this mean it does support the software in a better way, or does this router significally have a better range than for example the Linksys?! Is there any comparison chart available on the range of every router?

Secondly, if I would like to buy a linksys, is there any difference in range between routers with or without the speedbooster (e.g. Linksys WRT54GS+ SpeedBooster vs. Linksys WRT54G) after being flashed of course! :)

Thanks in advance!

WL-500g Premium (as seen here: http://wiki.openwrt.org/TableOfHardware )
CPU: Broadcom 4704 @ 266MHz
FLASH: 8MB
RAM: 32MB
Wirless NIC: Broadcom (mini-PCI)
SWITCH: BCM5325
boot_wait: on
Serial: Yes
JTAG: No
USB: 2x v2.0
HDD: No

The device is fully supported and has the fastest CPU (AFAIK!!) available in compatible mass-products... And 8MB Flash is always good to have extra stuff installed...

Just a quick question; I need the fastest available DD-WRT compatible router. Which should I choose?

I'm using ASUS WL500G-Deluxe right now, and it can't handle my 100Mbit connection.


Hi,
How wasn't the Asus WL500g Delux keeping up with your 100Mbit link? Do you mean a 100Mbit net link or just the traffic on your local LAN?
Did you upgrade to a premium and did it improve things?
I'm just deciding whether to get a Premium or a Buffalo WHR-G54s. Don't want to save a few quid and then find out I'm not getting full thoughput, but also the Premium is almost twice the price of the Buffalo.
Many thanks.

Any recommendations for an N router? If so, I'd love to see the first post updated. I send people to this thread and a few have been asking me about N routers...

I would recommend the Linksys WRT350N while it is still Version 1. It has a 300MHz Broadcom CPU and 8mb flash and 32mb ram builtin. When the Storage Link is working you wil be able to attach external USB drive storage or NAS.

So right now its better to choose the Linksys WRT350N if I want to buy a new router instead of the Asus WL-500g premium?

Or are there already some new routers that would be better?

The 4 things that are very very important for me:

- Fast CPU
- The more RAM the better
- Large Flash chip (for extra things)
- USB Support

Well, around here the cheapest router (between those two) is the ASUS.
However, consider this: ASUS WL-500G Premium @ XBit Labs. I am not sure that the Linksys will perform this well on wired connections. However, the situation must be different on wireless connections. There is no doubt that ASUS has a fast CPU. Just look at the review. It's almost 100Mbps available for wired. This is a thing that pisses me off sometimes. I always find reviews, but I almost never see one in which they mention the speeds and provide some graphs.
Well, if you want a really fast one why don't you buy a D-Link DIR-655? Gigabit connection. I think this chart here will give you an idea: SmallNetBuilder chart.

hi which router gives u especially the best range and performance for a 54Mbit wireless connections? Cause ur discussion here was more about speed of the cpu and if dd-wrt does fully support the unit. I would even like a recommendation like use this router and add this antenna and u get the best range possible for a 802.11g network but it should not be a straightened long range link more like the regular antennas which emit there signal in every direction but with maximum range :D

Thx for ur advice

ps.: and it should be available in the German market Wink just cause i checked the WRTSL54GS and i think it nearly impossible to get it here
