Hello everybody!

Two quick questions:

1. What is the difference between the options: "Any Dropped IPs for Reboot" and "All Dropped IPs for Reboot" under WDS/Connection Watchdog.

2. What is the difference between the the 2 DD-WRT images: "dd-wrt_x64_full_serial_2GB"
And "dd-wrt_x64_full_vga".

Best Regards

So sorry!
I meant the difference between "dd-wrt_x64_full_vga" and "dd-wrt_x64_full_vga_2GB" not the "serial" one.

Um Dale Gribble. There is nothing in the WIKI about the difference between the 2GB versions and the other versions. The Wiki is wrong about the public version not having USB support. The Public versions are limited to 4096 connections and no WIFI support. This is really old information too on the WIKI.

I'm fairly certain that wiki update inputs are always welcome from people using x86/x86_64. A full detailed laundry list of differences would be ideal for all available images. I personally do not use x86* versions, so no investment or vested interest here. Looking at image sizes, I would tend to presume that the *2GB images refer to max RAM supported, but I wouldn't know.

The 2GB images have a larger partition.
Or more free space to store anything

That makes sense now after looking further. Trying to do some legwork to pass on because it seems that the community members who do use x86* aren't keen to provide anything to improve the complaints about documentation - not even linked topics.

Thank you! I have often wondered what the difference was. I have never tried the 2 GB version. I will use it the next time i flash a new image.
