However, there is now a bugtracker in place for DD-WRT firmware located here: DD-WRT Bugtracker trac.Īmong other features not found in the original Linksys firmware, DD-WRT adds the Kai Daemon for the Kai Console Gaming network, WDS wireless bridging/repeating protocol, Radius Authentication for more secure wireless communication, advanced Quality of Service controls for bandwidth allocation, and software support for the SD-Card hardware modification. It is not recommended to install beta firmware on large networks that are used for businesses, etc. Note: Beta firmware, by its very nature, will contain bugs. It is also free of the product activation or tracking found in the Sveasoft firmware. DD-WRT offers many advanced features not found in the OEM firmwares of these devices, or even the firmware available for purchase from Sveasoft. The new version of DD-WRT (v24) is a completely new project.

DD-WRT was created directly from Sveasoft's software decision to start charging for their firmware, closing the door to open source.Īt present DD-WRT is available for free, although a different business model is being drafted by BrainSlayer in order to pay his salary, as this is his full time job. The first versions of DD-WRT were based on the Alchemy Firmware from Sveasoft Inc, which is in turn based on the original GPL'd Linksys firmware and a number of other open source projects. The firmware is maintained by BrainSlayer and is hosted at. DD-WRT is a third party developed firmware released under the terms of the GPL for many IEEE 802.11a/b/g/h/n wireless routers based on a Broadcom or Atheros chip reference design.
