I just updated my ASUS RT-N66U for the first time in quite a while, and thought it would be a good idea to keep an eye on the DD-WRT router database going forward to watch for updates/changes to the supported version. I was going to setup Distill to watch the page, but it turns out that the link to the specific page for my router (https://dd-wrt.com/support/router-database/?model=RT-N66U_-) doesn't actually work - that just take me to the front page of the database, and I still have to enter the search parameter by hand.

Is there a way to get a permalink to a specific router's page in the database, bypassing the search? Would be handy for my Distill usage, but also might be handy for folks wanting to link to a router database entry (for instance, from a related wiki article on a specific router).

Thanks!

Try the link in my sig in white. You will still have to click the build link and find your router and click that.Router Database does not usually have the newest and not really the best place to look.

See the link in my signature on the whole upgrade process. Reading build threads, links to build locations, and more.

Just don't use the router database it is not always maintained. It is best to use the build threads to find a good build.
