Hi Per Yngve Berg
maybe, but with no entry/reference to the "dd-wrt runs on it". As no PoE is available it is second to the two WRT54GL and Archer C7 so far.
I'd love to have simple APs (decent furnish, small, unobstrusive, enterprise management), but so far all is too high budget or (mikrotik) no dd-wrt.
We use mikrotik at work and you really get a good/big hardware for your money and most (enterprise) things work out of the box, but it is a different approach.
cheers
Sam
Hi
does anyone knwo about the price for a dd-wrt pro license? Adding the POE injector will add up as well and turn the meaning for PoE upside down...
Cheers
Sam
P.S.: the device design is typ. what I'd like for a hotel, but as mentioned: budget limits considerably here.

I am bit dismayed by selection of routers supporting dd-wrt now.
Either hardware changes have made it impossible to put dd-wrt on newer routers or dd-wrt is not evolving fast enough.
Not a complaint but an observation.

Manufacturers and vendors are locking device firmware to prevent 3rd party custom firmware installation. Also, some of the newer devices 802.11ad, 802.11ax are bullshit marketing gimmicks that have not matured yet. The big hole right now that I see is the number of MediaTek platforms supported, because nobody has donated any hardware or has offered information and use of their device to test. Just my thoughts. _________________ "Life is but a fleeting moment, a vapor that vanishes quickly; All is vanity"

at this rate, the future is going to be x86 routers, custom, with what YOU want in them. aliexpress and ebay have a ton of supported barebones radios for acceptable prices (usually). _________________ LATEST FIRMWARE(S)
