जब आपके राउटर को ट्वीव करने की बात आती है तो कस्टम फर्मवेयर रोस्ट को नियंत्रित करता है। अधिकांश प्रतिक्रिया पाठकों ने अपने राउटर और प्रदान किए गए लाभों पर कस्टम फर्मवेयर को हाइलाइट किया। केविन, उदाहरण के लिए, डीडी-डब्लूआरटी का उपयोग करके अपना पूरा विस्तारित वाई-फाई नेटवर्क चलाता है:
My main router is a Linksys with DD-WRT. It runs QOS, a private VPN, some port-forwarding and manages my PPPOE connection. (My DSL modem is in bridge mode and is completely passive.)
I have a couple of other Linksys/DD-WRT units that act as wireless bridges. One of them is connected to a couple of cheap Ubuntu boxes that act as network storage and do nightly, on-site back-ups of all of my data. Now, if I can just find an off-site solution that’s not too pricey.
ट्रेवर नोट करता है कि डीडी-डब्लूआरटी इतना लोकप्रिय है कि बफेलो शिपिंग के साथ राउटर भेज रहा है:
I loaded DD-WRT onto my Buffalo router when I first got it and love it. Now Buffalo is shipping with DD-WRT pre-installed, giving you both great hardware and firmware right out of the box. I set mine up for remote access with DynDNS so I don’t ever have to mess around with IP addresses, and then configured all my computers and router for VNC and any other remote access I need.
केविन की तरह डेमन, दोहराने वालों के रूप में अतिरिक्त राउटर का भी उपयोग करता है:
I added a simple WiFi repeater in the center of my house, so the main router has a strong signal in the front part of the house, and the repeater gets that signal, and boosts it from that point giving me a good signal in the back of the house, and even out to my deck!
It’s wireless, and only needs a power source, so it can be easily hidden. I used the original router’s SSID, and just added EXT (extended) on the end, so I know which router I’m connected to at any given time.
हालांकि डीडी-डब्लूआरटी को काफी कुछ नोड प्राप्त हुए, टमाटर को छोड़ दिया नहीं गया। एलवीडीव के साथ वजन होता है:
One word: Tomato! I have a Linksys WRT54GL, and the difference between the stock firmware from Linksys and Tomato is like night/day.. I’ve tried DDWRT and others, and came back to Tomato. Best f/w for a Linksys router in my opinion…
Brodiemacnic टमाटर प्यार करता है, लेकिन यह चाहता है कि यह व्यापक विकास में था:
Over the years I have used Tomato and DD-WRT on a variety of router but mostly on Linksys WRT54G and the Asus models. I find Tomato the easiest to use and even found a custom version that supports USB on the Asus router. It woks very well for network printing but I’ve found it a little difficult to use for a shared network storage. DD-WRT is much more feature rich but you really need to know what you are doing to work with that one. I really wish Tomato supported more routers that is does. It’s really a shame that it doesn’t.
रोथबार्ट अपने स्वयं के राउटर को घुमाकर एक नए स्तर पर कस्टम रोम का उपयोग करने का पूरा DIY पहलू लेता है:
I’m using Astaro Security Gateway on a dual-nic dedicated machine. It’s like a super-router/security gateway/firewall/content filter/antivirus scanner/magic widget.
And… it’s free. I just had to devote a spare machine and electricity to running it. Well worth it IMO.
