DD-WRT Support?Hello, DSL Reports.
I've had FiOS for a few months now, and just recently put in a Cisco Linksys E4200 Rev. 2 as a front-end via your LAN-to-LAN tutorial. Both are still with stock firmware.
However, I am curious if there is a DD-WRT build that supports the MI424-WR REV I (I know there is support for the E4200), and whether I should go through the trouble to upgrade or not, for both routers.
Additionally, if so, would I be able to preserve settings, or do I need to re-input them? |

There's no dd-wrt support for the Rev I. If you put it on your E4200, you'll have to redo all the setup. The settings do not copy over. |

AFAIK, there is no MoCA support in any 3rd party router firmware for any versions of the MI424WR...

Thanks for the clarification, as someone on the REV I thread mentioned they had DD-WRT on their own VZ router, so I wanted to make sure.
Although, all considering, is it possible that third-party firmware might gain MoCa support one day? And can anyone comment on DD-WRT's performance on the E42000 v2?
Also, right now, I have a PS3, Wii, and 3DS XL, so I'm wondering if any of them accept a pure 5 GHz signal? When I tired to set up a dedicated 5 GHz band, the network SSID would not come up if I attempted a scan. |

I will show you my 5ghz settings on (WNDR3700) should be similar since it's DD-WRT , I think you have to put it under AES only to have 5GHZ working properly.   |

said by Jbstormburst :is it possible that third-party firmware might gain MoCa support one day? I believe that Entropic (the MOCA chip manufacturer) wants $25K for the MOCA SDK. Unlikely that the DD-WRT folks are going to underwrite that for just a few users. |

I've seen some mention around the Internet of some folks getting OpenWRT running on an ActionTec with MoCa support. I can't confirm how valid it is but the driver I suppose wouldn't be super hard to get a hold of from elsewhere if the MoCa chips become more common. |

If you go to openwrt you will find that a couple of the action routers are actually supported, the question is what verizon will do with the equipment that is modified? they do updates and stuff.... |

said by anon12456789 :they do updates and stuff.... That's not an issue. Once you replace the VZ firmware, the router no longer phones home for updates. |

Does that include the Revision I? And if so, are there any major differences between OpenWRT and DD-WRT that I should be aware of? And would I lose any functionality, since I am using Triple Play? |

There is no custom firmware for the Rev I. |

said by Jbstormburst :Does that include the Revision I? No. DD-WRT only supports Gen 1 Actiontecs (rev. A, C, D). » www.dd-wrt.com/site/supp ··· databaseLikewise, Open WRT. » wiki.openwrt.org/toh/sta ··· ctiontecsaid by Jbstormburst :are there any major differences between OpenWRT and DD-WRT that I should be aware of? Not an expert on either. You need to research that yourself. said by Jbstormburst :And would I lose any functionality, since I am using Triple Play? Neither implementation supports MOCA, so you have the exactly the same limitations are any other non-MOCA router. You would need a MOCA bridge in order to support your STBs. |
