<description><![CDATA[Matt posted : I'm going to buck the trend and say Tomato yes, DD-WRT hell no. I've had nothing but bad experiences with DD-WRT, so I stay far away. Your WNDR3700 is at least three as powerful as a WRT54GL anyway (680Mhz Mips vs 200MHz Mips) and I think 1200 web server users (active sessions) would choke it to death. 100 active sessions plus your other internet traffic would probably cause serious slowdowns also.<br><br>I would say to spend a little more and get a business-class SOHO router. I use a Linksys WRT610N for wireless duties, but a Zyxel Zywall 5 as my firewall/router. A PC running pfSense (or as mentioned, Mikrotik) would be ideal, but would suck a lot of power.<br><small>--<br><A HREF="https://www.trafficcloak.com/">trafficcloak.com - pptp/sstp vpn services</a></small>]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[billaustin posted : For that type of use, you really need a commercial grade router.  DD-WRT on a Linksys Router may work for you.  Look at one of the WRT54G-TM models, as they have more RAM in them.<br><br>Another option is to put two network cards in an older PC and run Mikrotik on it. I use a 1ghz PIII with 512mb RAM.  The OS runs on a 128mb CF card, and there is a 40gb hard drive for the web proxy to use for caching.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[nocannothave posted : I don't know how bittorrent usage applies to a webserver, but my 54GL with DD-WRT was up for over 390 days until a power outage ruined that.<br><br>Thousands of hours were spent using BT. No slowdowns, no pages failing to load, etc. SO rock solid and highly recommended.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Bink posted : Yes, the DD-WRT and related open source firmwares are for real&#151;and they are better than the consumer-class firmware your device came with.  In addition, you can use almost any maturing PC as a router/firewall&#151;and many seem to use pfSense and m0nowall for this.<br><br>My router/firewall (and then some) is a mature notebook running OpenBSD, which never fails and will best many small Cisco routers easily, but there is a bit of a learning curve for the uninitiated.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[emihelis posted : Here is my scenario.  I currently have the Netgear WNDR3700 and it just locks up 2-3 times a day for me.  I posted those details in the Netgear area of this forum, on the Netgear forum, and am in communication with Netgear support.  <br><br>I used to use a Netgear WPNT834 which was an average router.  Speeds werent great and I did get less lockups, but it still would at times.  <br><br>Someone suggested to me that a cheap very stable alternative is WRT54GL with Tomato or DD-WRT firmware.  <br><br>Here is what my network load can be like.  I host a webserver with 1200 users, 100 at a time can happen , but not the norm.  A lightly used Slingbox, 3 hard wired PCs, and 1 wireless laptop.  <br><br>I just need stability at a good speed.  I dont stream or bitorrent a this time.  I just want mys server to be available and stop getting router lockups.  Is the Linksys open source solution for real?  I have read where many swear by it while others say its an acceptable low cost router solution.<br><br>Any help is greatly appreciated.]]></description>
