| 1166979 | 2011-01-04 09:33:00 | Ok, so i'm about to flip over the china in the middle of NZ summer for the enjoyment of some lovely Beijing ice and snow. In the middle of packing I suddenly decided (as you do :p) that I need to hurry up and finish some black listed projects (stuff that I really should get on to but always put to one side) Included in that list is painting the house... but that comes later. I need (or want actually) to get a handy dandy router and get rid of any craptastic firmware on it, then blitz it with DD-WRT or Tomato. Turns out my current handy dandy router isn't supported :annoyed: So, I need some recommendations for a cheap flashable router. Specs as follows: 802.11N Preferable but not necessary. Will be a test rig, hooked up to just about every custom antennae you can imagine. Needs to run DD or Tomato Less than $100 unless it is freaking amazing. Also, while I'm at it, does any one know where I can buy wireless antennae extension Coax, in line amplifiers for 802.11G/N and the little screw sockets to go with the extension coax? I probably looked in all the wrong places cos I couldn't find any! Suppliers can be in NZ or Beijing, since I'm over there anyway Cheers! Merry networking :horrified |

| 1166981 | 2011-01-05 20:30:00 | gizmodo.com Bring me back some too please :D BTW - The GC only has 2MB flash, not enough for Tomato or Gargoyle, only the Mini version of DD-WRT... The WL-520GU has 4MB, which is the minimum you really want :) |

| 1166984 | 2011-01-05 22:04:00 | Yup they apparently did from what I've read :) Apparently the overheating was only on the models that have ADSL. I had a play with a bog-standard Linksys AP (WAP4400N I think it was) and had no issuse with overheating. Gave it a real hammering and left it in the sunlight. | Chilling_Silence (9) | ||
| 1166985 | 2011-01-05 22:14:00 | Nice. | wratterus (105) | ||
| 1166986 | 2011-01-05 22:16:00 | Chilling: is that router you posted the link to in NZ any where? | nedkelly (9059) | ||
| 1166987 | 2011-01-05 22:24:00 | I'd get a GU. You can usually get them quite cheap on trademe. | Blam (54) | ||
