im going to wait and see how this turns out. i suspect its just a reskinned version of the regular dd-wrt builds, as such i suspect its going to be unstable.
ok iv bit the bullet and installed this onto my router, first impression is that the colour skin looks nice, but thats subjective.
the max tx power im getting is 13dbm. so thats not fixed.
im currently doing some wifi tests to see if i can put data over the wifi without router crashing.
on a 802.11g laptop thats about 2 feet away from the router im getting 2.41 megabytes per second transfer rate on a 3.87gb iso file. so its similar in speed to the stock firmware. will let you guys know how the reliability is after a few days of testing.
25 mins uptime, and wifi has disconnected and router has locked up requiring hard reboot. not gonna bother with this anymore, going back to the stock firmware.
Well-I reverted to the 1.60 firmware & then upgraded to the "new" stuff--Yes, it's a re-skined DD-WRT--I also had to do a 30-30-30 to get it to work--almost thought I'd bricked it.....
It's a newer build than 14929....so far stable on my A0-A3--cross fingers!!!
i have a variety of regulatory domains, but they are all european, i dont have Canada or USA on my list.
tx power set to 20dbm = 13dbm.
iv done the 30/30/30 reset on the router now and set it up again. will see if the reset makes any difference. im testing by pulling 89gb of mkv films over the wireless with a G mode client.
also i run the router in access point mode only, spi firewall is turned off.

It's almost impossible to play games smoothly. AFAIK, this issue has been bugging this router for months.
so far, It is pretty good. Just mounted a USB disk, expanded openwrt-ar71xx-rootfs.tgz as rootfs to a mounted partition. and installed samba3 from opkg. now the samba is on. looking forward to more test.
