Currently Cisco is donating the Meraki MR33.

All the DD-WRT team needs to do is basically signup to the webinar, leave it open, and confirm shipping address. Boom. In 2 days you have a MR33 donated by Cisco.

care to explain how all of this works in more detail?

and why do you want dd-wrt support for this unit?

have you not seen the nighthawk r7500v2 and 7800? or netgears r9000 router?

What do you want explained?

This unit works 3 years then you have to renew the license (another 300 bucks or so). DD-WRT support would free it.

First, the Meraki is free. Second, all those you are showing me are routers, not access points. This is a dedicated access point where performance will probably be better.

routers by default yes, and..? u know ddwrt can operate as a bridge via wifi or ethernet right? all an ap is is a bridge with wifi capability. a bridged device doesnt do nat or firewall & usually not qos, bridge/ap mode on ddwrt will be the same as a unit sold as an "ap by default" from a manufacturer. i can turn off dhcp/nat/firewall etc on my r7800, specify an ip for it in the subnet of the host router, plug it into the host, id now have an ap, easily get full gigabit that way as its turned into a "dumb switch", all processing is done by the host.

Routers have hardware dedicated mostly to dhcp, nat, routing, firewall, etc.

AP's hardware is strictly dedicated to wireless.

And if you think Cisco's enterprise APs have less performance than any consumer router's wireless, please, give me a few while I recover from laughing in your face.

Back on topic: DD-WRT should work on this AP. Stop with the "DD-WRT is volunteer work. We don't have to do anything" blah blah blah. What I mean is that this is good free hardware to work with.

clearly u seem to know pretty much nothing, that includes reading what was said to u & not trying to put words in mouths Rolling Eyes

since "the hardware is free" then get one & send it to them, mr picky

Day by day, Im realizing that all DD-WRT does is wait for OpenWRT to release something, rip it, and call it their own.

Even I can spell better than that.

DD-WRT has yet to release a stable build. Why? Because they just bandaid everything together, put a gum on it and release it half baked. Noway they can ever call it stable.
