Hi,<br>
<br>
Yes it does look a decent unit and for the price its an absolute steal..<br>
<br>
My only grumble would be the fact the physical ports are only 100mb, their current gigabit models don't seem to be supported by dd-wrt yet (i'm sure they will work though).<br>

I'm currently using the Cisco Linksys e1000 which is OK.<br>

Have it running DD-WRT, as Les just mentioned but find it slightly underpowered.<br>
<br>
So on this basis If you wanted to go down the Linksys route I'd suggest the e2000, e3000 or e4000<br>
<br>
Les: what specs does your TP-Link hold? is it wireless N?<br>

Hi Andy<br>
<br>
<br>
I use a TP-Link router, it is a great device, and it supports DD-WRT (even the manufacturer states this feature).<br>
<br>
<br>
Take a look on their site <a href="http://uk.tp-link.com/products/?categoryid=201" target="_blank">http://uk.tp-link.com/products/?categoryid=201</a><br>
<br>
<br>
Good luck.<br>

Hi all,<br>
<br>
I'm looking for a good wifi router with a decent control panel (e.g. for setting up custom firewall and port forwarding rules), a few ethernet ports, and ideally the ability to flash custom firmware if I ever decide to do so. Long range would be nice but not essential. My current router is a cheapo netgear one from Orange, and it's becoming unusable (for some reason it keeps disconnecting when I work on a remote server from home over ssh).<br>
<br>
Can anyone suggest a suitable device?<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
<br>
andy<br>
