834559 2009-11-29 06:32:00 Are there any instructions avalible on how to do this? xyz823 (13649)
834560 2009-11-29 09:25:00 www.dd-wrt.com

It's not even on the list ...

Basically if it's on the list for DD-WRT and has 4MB Flash, there's a good chance it may run on it.

It's also worth noting that pretty much anything with ADSL support won't be in there either. PPPoE, yes, but not PPPoA...

It's also woth me saying that Thomson are pretty snotty from what I understand and won't even supply stock firmware upgrades to end-users, it's ISP-only :(

Hock it off on TradeMe to some unsuspecting victim, they're crappy as anyways ...

834562 2009-11-29 09:35:00 Yea considering onselling it, just wanted to know if it could run it. xyz823 (13649)
834563 2009-11-29 09:42:00 Whats a good router to get for under $150? Any suggestions because there are so many out there.

I'm looking for one with wireless-n for better speeds around the home network.

Whats this (ascent.co.nz) mean when it says "802.11b/g/n (draft)"?

834564 2009-11-29 09:58:00 N-spec wireless isn't an official finalized standard yet. If the WAG120N is anything like the WAG160N then avoid it like the plague ...

834565 2009-11-29 10:07:00 So would something like this (ascent.co.nz) be any better? xyz823 (13649)
834566 2009-11-29 10:13:00 Try this: ascent.co.nz

It's what I'm using right now with Tomato, and saves you ~$50

834567 2009-11-29 10:20:00 I think it is finalized now. As of end of Oct this year. By the looks of it. Speedy Gonzales (78)
834568 2009-11-29 10:26:00 Cool, I may be able to convice mum that the Thomson router is "overheating" and we need a new one lol. xyz823 (13649)
