Some stuffs that goes into consideration when I am purchasing a wireless router

• Wireless N (802.11n)
• Dual-band (2.4Ghz and 5.0 Ghz)
• WPA2 security
• Three external antennas (changeable)
• Gigabit ethernet ports

When would a open source wireless-N gigabit router arrive? Preferably a Broadcom device so that I could run tomato firmware on it. Do include a fast CPU and larger amount of RAM so that it could be a traffic manager on my network!

Just imagine an open source system that does QoS based on protocol analysis  instead of ports! Fast CPU and large amount of RAM so that it would be a snappy device. Gigabit ports to future proof it. Woot!

I’m still dreaming.

Heard of Netgear’s open source router - WGR614L? The specifications are similar to that of WRT54GL (16mb RAM, 4mb flash) but WGR614L is using the newer Broadcom processor. Other than that, its specifications are similar to that of WRT54G and DIR-300:

• Wireless G
• 4 x 10/100 LAN
• 1 x WAN

I really like the slim design of the WGR614L and most important of all - It supports 3rd party firmwares (dd-wrt, tomato, openwrt)! The WRT54G supports all of the 3 mentioned firmwares while the DIR-300 supports dd-wrt and openwrt only.

Got to flash it to tomato and set it to filter some protocols on some segments of my network.

Boxes of DNS-343 in Singapore

Managed to bring in some (10) boxes of DNS-343 from overseas. All snapped up by the brothers in hardwarezone and vr-zone! Waiting for the bros to collect.

Update

All DNS-343 has been collected by their respective owners! Nice meeting all of you!
