3rd Party Firmware

[raoul_1101]

Hi all.

I'm looking for third party firmware for my Linksys WRT 150n. I know (think) tomato doesn't have any firmware out for it, so what are my other options?

I'm looking into dd-wrt, but has anyone had any experience using it?

Out of curiousity, why would one use 3rd-party firmware?

I use DD-WRT on mine and it is by far one of the more superior 3rd party firmwares out there.

I have even used it in production environments. IF you can still get a WRT54GL it has 16megs of memory in it and is better suited for 3rd party firmware.

I'm looking for the service Signal Distribution Amplifier (SDA), I think its called, that the linksys firmware doesn't offer (unless a later version does, if anyone knows that'd be nice). I have an extra 150n, and I want it to work like a signal repeater.

Are you going to bridge them together?

I need to publish an article on my site about DD-WRT

I'm definitely going to take a stab at it

Update:
Using the steps in this tutorial , I got the router to be a wireless repeater (and yes, I am using dd-wrt firmware). So far, it works like a charm and I am definitely satisfied.

I've running their firmware for about 4 years now and never had a problem.
