-DD-WRT is a third party developed firmware released under the terms of the GPL for many 802.11g wireless routers based on a Broadcom chip reference design.

 +'''DD-WRT''' is third party [[wikipedia:Firmware|firmware]] released under the terms of the GPL for many Wi-Fi 4 and Wi-Fi 5 wireless routers based on a Broadcom or Atheros chip reference design.
-The firmware is maintained by [mailto:brainslayer@braincontrol.org BrainSlayer] and is hosted at [http://www.dd-wrt.com/ dd-wrt.com]. The first versions of DD-WRT were based on the Alchemy Firmware from [http://www.sveasoft.com/ Sveasoft Inc], which is in turn based on the original GPL'd Linksys firmware and a number of other open source projects.

The first versions of DD-WRT were based on the Alchemy Firmware from [http://www.sveasoft.com/ Sveasoft Inc], which is in turn based on the original [[wikipedia:GNU_General_Public_License|GPL]]'d Linksys firmware and a number of other open source projects. DD-WRT was created directly from Sveasoft's decision to start charging for their firmware, closing the door to open source.
-At present DD-WRT is available for free although a different business model is being [http://forum.bsr-clan.de/ftopic4612.html drafted] by BrainSlayer in order to pay his salary, as this is his full time job.+DD-WRT is available for free, although a different business model was [https://web.archive.org/web/20071012064337/http://forum.bsr-clan.de/ftopic4612.html drafted] in the past by BrainSlayer to pay his salary, as this is his full-time job.
-The new version of DD-WRT (v23) ''is a completely new project''. DD-WRT offers many advanced features not found in the OEM firmwares of these devices, or even the firmware available for purchase from Sveasoft. It is also free of the product activation or tracking found in the Sveasoft firmware.+Since version 2.4, DD-WRT deviates significantly from Alchemy. DD-WRT now offers many advanced features not found in the OEM firmware of these devices, or even the firmware available for purchase from Sveasoft. It is also free of the product activation or tracking found in the Sveasoft firmware.
-'''Note:''' Beta firmware, by its very nature, will contain bugs. It is not recommended to install beta firmware on large networks that are used for businesses, etc. However, there is now a bugtracker in place for DD-WRT firmware located here:'' [http://www.dd-wrt.com/dd-wrtv2/bugtracker/ DD-WRT Bugtracker].+Among other features not found in the original Linksys firmware, DD-WRT adds the [[Kai Daemon]] for the [http://www.teamxlink.co.uk/ Kai Console Gaming network], [[wikipedia:Wireless Distribution System|WDS]] [[wireless bridging]]/repeating protocol, [[wikipedia:RADIUS|Radius Authentication]] for more secure wireless communication, advanced [[Quality of Service]] controls for bandwidth allocation, and software support for the SD-Card hardware modification.<br>

-Almost all the above wireless routers have at least 4MB of flash memory. All the WRT54GS models prior to the v4.0 have 8MB of flash. Many other routers (including v5.0 of the WRT54G and WRT54GS) have only 2MB of flash memory. The "full" and "mini" versions of DD-WRT requires 4MB to install; the "micro" version requires 2MB.+
- +
-Various other brands and models have been mentioned as supported by BrainSlayer and others in the fora. However, it's not clear (to me) if any of the readily available images will boot on those models, or if you have to ask Brainslayer for them directly, or if you have to grab the sources and build versions yourself. It would be great if someone who did know this would edit this further.+

-Fastest DD-WRT Compatible Wireless Router:+
-WRTSL54GS or Asus WL500G Premium. both are shipped with 266 mhz+
-OR, Buffalo WZR-RS-G54. 266Mhz CPU, 8MB flash and 64MB RAM. Please note that if you intend to use your router as a DUAL/MULTI Wan router, do additional research before you purchase the router.+
-For Example, the WZR-RS-G54 does not support DUAL Wan due to the type of Switch installed in the router+

The current web interface of DD-WRT
The current web interface of DD-WRT

DD-WRT is third party firmware released under the terms of the GPL for many Wi-Fi 4 and Wi-Fi 5 wireless routers based on a Broadcom or Atheros chip reference design.

The firmware is maintained by BrainSlayer and is hosted at dd-wrt.com. The first versions of DD-WRT were based on the Alchemy Firmware from Sveasoft Inc, which is in turn based on the original GPL'd Linksys firmware and a number of other open source projects. DD-WRT was created directly from Sveasoft's decision to start charging for their firmware, closing the door to open source.

DD-WRT is available for free, although a different business model was drafted in the past by BrainSlayer to pay his salary, as this is his full-time job.

Since version 2.4, DD-WRT deviates significantly from Alchemy. DD-WRT now offers many advanced features not found in the OEM firmware of these devices, or even the firmware available for purchase from Sveasoft. It is also free of the product activation or tracking found in the Sveasoft firmware.

Among other features not found in the original Linksys firmware, DD-WRT adds the Kai Daemon for the Kai Console Gaming network, WDS wireless bridging/repeating protocol, Radius Authentication for more secure wireless communication, advanced Quality of Service controls for bandwidth allocation, and software support for the SD-Card hardware modification.

The DD in DD-WRT is the German car numberplate code for Dresden.

[edit] Firmware Versions

In the 2000's, DD-WRT was versioned with semantic versioning. Since the release of version 2.4 SP1 in 2008, only beta versions of version 3.0 have been released, labeled with SVN revision numbers. While the "stable" folder remains in the Downloads section of the main site, these releases have not been updated in over a decade. Due to inevitable security improvements in the Linux kernel over such a long time, the beta releases are now considered more stable than version 2.4. As DD-WRT has evolved, so has its feature set. The config files specify which features are included in each build for each chipset. For reference, the features included in the legacy versioned releases can be found in Version Features.
