Reviews around power (5.00 of 5)

  • It also cranks out enough power that I have no problem getting the signal all the way out to my detached garage
  • However due to DDWRT customization it is excellent box for a power user (somebody working in networks not your average technocrat).
  • Checked wall adapter with multimeter, it's giving good power to the router.

Reviews around firmware (3.95 of 5)

  • Just research what this firmware is capable of with a device that has this much memory
  • The normal firmware for it is terrible
  • However, I tried it out and the signal is much better (stronger) than my D-Link router that I put DD-WRT firmware on and the cameras worked much better, so now I don't need a repeater!
