The wiki mentions this firmware:
WR743N(D)v1 v.24 sp2 - build 17309 - 20110708
However, it can't be found in the router database (nor with google).
There is no released firmware build yet for the WR743ND so I have changed the wiki status to WIP.
It is likely to be included in the next dd-wrt firmware release. _________________ Kernel panic: Aiee, killing interrupt handler!

It's half the price of a WRT54GL and has passive PoE as standard. It has several modes including Wireless Client Router which is the main reason a WISP would flash dd-wrt onto a router. In fact it's so good that I am using them instead of dd-wrt on WRT54GL using standard firmware. I would also say it's bandwidth shaping actually works really well, unlike dd-wrt. However there are three things that dd-wrt does that I would like on these routers.
1. Wireless range is not very good. Maybe boost power.
2. PoE port is WAN, would be good if WAN could be made LAN for AP only mode.
3. VPN services lacking.
4. Virtual APs
I see that the WR741ND is supported. Please can we have some dd-wrt on this fantastic and very cheap little router please.
