HI,
I use open-wrt, but one of my router works better with DD-Wrt, I wondered if on dd wrt we can have the config files like on Open-Wrt to configure our router, I mean like a diffconfig/config.buildinfo ?
If someone could send me his config like we do on the other forum?
thanks

-configs openwrt and ddwrt - are not compatible
-configs from different ddwrt builds - are not very recommended
-however in some very limited cases you can use the configs from the same routers same versions...
i've done that on my R7800 and 1043v2..but i guess its not very ideal...
-config files from ddwrt different routers or different versions of the same model - are not recommended _________________ Atheros

so it is impossible to use SSH session to extract our config and change it from there?
In DD-WRT, the configuration is saved in nvram. You can ssh into the router and type
Code:
nvram show
to see it or dump it:
Code:
nvram show > /tmp/nvram.bak
Openwrt uses /etc/config/ dir to store its configs. They are totally different and incompatible. _________________ - Linksys EA8500: I-Gateway, WAP/VAP 5ghz only. Features: VLANs, Samba, WG, Entware - r60xxx
