OT: openwrt routers?

My mom is moving to RR. I was wondering if there are some inexpensive routers 
available that are operwrt or other freesoftware flashable? Are there any with 
openwrt builtin natively?

I wish Steven Gutenick  were still in town.

Thank You

Re: OT: openwrt routers?

Hey Paul,

With the magic of the Inter-networking, I can still help you from Jordan ;)

I was just working on OpenWrt today, confirming the less-expensive
TP-Link 940N was software compatible with the 941N.

As you note Paul, the key is finding a good price. These routers are
only about $10 to produce, but of course the companies are in it for
profit. If you are lucky, you can find a good Linux supported model on
sale/discount for $25.  The key is matching up the internals with the
router with the sales and prices.

One experience note: If the router can run dd-wrt (a more closed
binary-only Linux, but more popular), it can likely run OpenWrt now or
in the future.

I suggest keep close tabs on the website
http://slickdeals.net/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=9 forums. When a
router deal goes on sale at Fry's, Best Buy, Walmart, Amazon - the
forum members will discuss it in detail and mention if it is
compatible with dd-wrt.  For example, today they were discussing a
deal at Amazon.com "Cisco-Linksys WRT160N-RM Refurbished Wireless-N
Router $ 29.99 AMAZON" and the merits of this router with dd-wrt (it
also can run the OpenWrt distro).

Good luck. A router deal comes up almost every week. It's finding a
good price that everyone is after ;)

May be you can help me from Jordon!
I got a TP-LINK 941ND because this web page said there were 4 versions, 1,2,3 
and 4 and all of the were supported. So what happens? They sent it to me and 
it is version 3.5! which is not listed.

Can you help me? By the way it came with a GPL CARD. So apparently the 
installed version uses LINUX.

Re: OT: openwrt routers?

Hi Paul,

Firmware wise, it should be compatible with the others. The layout
changes from TP-Link seem mostly progressive (using alternate part
suppliers).

THE MAIN concern this particular router is if the "Intel Flash chip"
is used. It seems to require some different software parameters than
all the other flash chips used by TP-LINK.  It seems to be trouble
with dd-wrt users but not for modern OpenWrt builds. OpenWrt does NOT
have this technical problem with the intel flash chip on the TPLink
WR94x routers.... you are SAFE with OpenWrt.

The dd-wrt users seem to have tried hardware version 3.5 and found it
to be compatible with the version 3:

source: http://www.dd-wrt.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?p=531610

#1 user drv4850a said "I flashed my WR941ND V3.5 using BrainSlayer
Firmware for v3. Everything went flawlessly."

#2 user kamelot said "I just flashed my new TL-WR941ND v3.5 with
Brainslayer's latest beta 15962
ftp://www.dd-wrt.com/others/eko/BrainSlayer-V24-preSP2/12-24-10-r15962/tplink_tl-wr941ndv3/.
No problems at all. Everything went smoothly. I'm not sure what the
flash chip is, but one thing is for sure - it's not Intel, 'cause I
can save settings."

You may wish to open it, just for your education, and see if you can
identify the flash chips. There are photographs on dd-wrt forums of
the flash chip locations.

You don't _have to_ open your router or wire in a rs232 serial link.
These are optional, and OpenWrt (latest trunk builds using subversion
or nightly downloads) should work fine on your router.

Good luck. Take your time :)

  Stephen
