We'll configure some settings that agree with their recommendations, but these are by no means the best settings for every application. Luckily, both Kong and the DD-WRT forums have complete suggestions. This is an important step, as customized settings are needed to get full performance out of this router. Materials:Īrmed with knowledge of our wireless environment, we're ready to enter some new wireless settings in DD-WRT. Note: If you already have some form of DD-WRT installed on your router, skip to Step 6: Upload the BIN DD-WRT File. I'll update this guide when a newer build has better results. Since the R7000 is less expensive, and at the time of this writing the DD-WRT wiki specifically recommends Kong's build for this device, we'll be using it in the guide. A couple of well-reviewed AC1900 routers that are supported are the ASUS AC68U and NETGEAR R7000. We'll be using a Kong build of DD-WRT, which stably supports several newer devices. This guide is designed to help beginners configure a fast & stable DD-WRT router with basic settings and wireless. Right here, right now, we're going to solve those issues. Just choosing a router, suitable build, and revision of DD-WRT is a daunting task for a beginner traditionally, one must pore over forum posts for information about balancing stability, features, and newer device support. It's hard to choose the build for your needs (a good discussion of the various builds is here). There hasn't been an official stable release since 2008.
However, it's not easy for a novice starting out with DD-WRT. It adds features, stability and configurability to consumer routers. I have my router setup with a thumb drive as per the standard settings of formatting and creating an /opt mount on the drive.DD-WRT is a wonderful open source custom router firmware that is supported on many devices. I have tried about 100 different tutorials going from 2011 to 2016 with no success. I have tried to get mdns-repeater working with no success (keep getting permission denied) - I have also tried to install entware-ng version of avahi, but that seems to just die off after about a minute - and it never "reflects" the packets between the 2 subnets. I need to share mDNS traffic between the 2 subnets to allow full access within the LAN. My network is Apple-centric - 3 Apple TV's used for media streaming AND HomeKit AND AirPlayĬanada is on br0 - which is 192.168.1.x/24
All of this works flawless by design and my users with a simple switch of which WiFi network they are on, are able to just connect to the services needed. The purpose of this was to provide me simplicity for my home users to switch between Canadian and US content.
There are 2 that use the WAN (vlan2) to access the internet and the 3rd which uses a VPN connection. I have a network setup at home that provides 2 (technically 3) SSID's.
