So, I have a ZyXEL C1100Z that I want to modify to get dd-wrt on it. I do not want to buy something new. Does anyone know how to help me do this?

I do not see any builds available for Zyxel routers, so I would say your best bet is to pick up a used Netgear R7800 somewhere. Plus, seeing it's a Broadcom chipset, that will make it even harder to support as they are not open source.

If it's identical hardware to the C1000Z or not...

A router can not be supported by dd-wrt if:
  • it is based on a Broadcom 63xx chipset
  • it has an integrated modem (dd-wrt is router firmware and does not support the modem part)
  • it has VOIP ports (RJ-11)
