I bunged dd-wrt onto an "acquired" Linksys WRT54GL in order to provide a wireless bridge in my living room, since neither my Sky+ box nor my Raspberry Pi have built-in wireless support. My main router is just the standard Sky hub and it works a treat for on demand and streaming videos to the Pi. Still might upgrade the bits at some point though as the setup does choke a bit with high-def stuff unfortunately.

I was initally looking at Open-WRT because it supported my TP-Link AP, didn't realise dd-wrt supported so many routers, loads!

So what's the cheapest dd-wrt compatible router these days? I fancy replacing my stupid sky booster with a proper Bridge setup so that the wifi isn't being repeated.

Or should I just get a 4 port switch and a couple of these home plug doodads?

I'd suggest looking at the cheapest ones around and checking the supported router database - http://www.dd-wrt.com/site/support/router-database

I ended up buying an ex-display Buffalo WZR-1750DHP from ebuyer for £66, because it supported dd-wrt and AC wireless.

Any idea what TP-Link are like? I'm guessing anyone that has to put "The reliable choice" as their tag line probably ain't so hot.

Hah, just ordered a Belkin for £3.99.

The specific revision isn't on that page you linked, but it is in the DD-WRT wiki so I'm hoping it'll be OK.

Worth a punt!
Check out open-wrt too.

Aye, for less than two beer it seemed worth it. Can't be any worse than my current setup, anyway.

Well it arrived, but as far as I can tell so far it's completely dead. Got 5v going into it (checked on the board side of the connector, it's definitely making it in) but no power LED coming on and no voltage at the led either.

Correct polarity?

(which if it wasn't it may well be dead now)

Yeah, centre positive.

Just sniped a WRT54G for £11, hopefully this one actually works when it turns up.
