| 1343629 | 2013-05-28 01:33:00 | 2) USABLE web interface (I'm looking at you, Thomson) 3) Firmware where features like port forwarding actually function (again, I'm eyeballing Thomson) Yep, get these 2 right. The other stuff isnt needed for most people apart from a few techies & PC junkies. Are they just re-inventing the wheel, doesnt open source firmware do most of the other stuff? Just make the new router support open source firmware , rather than trying to cobble together all these features in a one off design. |

| 1343630 | 2013-05-28 01:41:00 | Sort of. Gargoyle is the first thing that comes to mind (Some screenshots I took last night as examples for the Geekzone thread): imgur.com Even that could be further trimmed down quite a bit. It's open source, based off OpenWRT, but there's no support for anything that has ADSL2+ or VDSL2 in it (Purely for Wireless APs) so it's always got to be coupled with something such as the DrayTek DV120. Gonna try and draft up some pix later on of how I think it could be laid out... |
