But if you are someone who can never stop at the accepted standards like me then the DD-WRT firmware will come as good news for you.ĭD-WRT is a Linux based open source firmware that will let you do a plethora of cool stuff with your router. This is to keep the devices easy to use and as user-friendly as possible. Very few home routers are actually able to do what they are built to do mainly because the stock firmware they ship with is aimed at basic use, not fully utilising the hardware potential.
