Hi, anyone know if the wifi button (i think is the wps) on the WZR-HP-G300NH, can turn on/off the wifi on this router with the ddwrt firmware? _________________ www.computermilano.it www.unghiemilano.it

I think it depends on whether or not you are using the official buffalo dd-wrt build or regular dd-wrt.
What i have noticed on mine is that most button functionality is lost when you use the non buffalo dd-wrt, with the buffalo pro dd-wrt you have button functionality because it was compiled more with the buffalo in mind, specifically for its functions, whereas the other builds are somewhat generic (they are more compiled for a chipset base and compatibility, not a specific unit) _________________ Wireless N Config | Linking Routers | DD-WRT Wiki | DD-WRT Builds | Peacock - Broadcom FAQ

On Atheros its different, The builds that come out for Atheros are whatever they can fit in the amount of flash space they have to work with, so if you have a 4MB flash w/ Atheros base device then you pretty much get the std flavor of dd-wrt, those with 8MB flash or better get the mega/big style flavor with all the features in it. So in short, yes, the build for the g300nh has those features, either the buff dd-wrt pro or the non buff, both have pretty well the same features.
the micro, standard etc is broadcom flavoring labels only, atheros builds don't having a naming scheme like that.
you can't test the wifi button?
there is the possibilty on the web interface to disable or enable the wifi with the button? _________________ www.computermilano.it www.unghiemilano.it

yes its identical. the router has 16mb flash, so everything possible is included for now. no separate builds are neccessary here, since everything possible can be included.
main differences between buffalo builds and community versions are.
the buffalo version has a setup wizard.
it contains aoss support and in more recent builds WPS works as well using the aoss button.
the standard dd-wrt uses the button for radio disable if selected at services. personally i dont like WPS or AOSS, since it always decreases security.
the buffalo version does also contain standard security setup at factory default as printed on the backside of the router.
the gui has a different style, but is similar to the community version. everything else is identical
ah and not to forget. only the EU router has 3G/UMTS support with the buffalo dd-wrt firmware. the community dd-wrt version has 3G/UMTS support for all devices no matter which area they sold _________________ "So you tried to use the computer and it started smoking?
