hi,

i have dlink dir-300 router which i flashed to dd-wrt v24 preSP2 (Build13064.

I wish to try openwrt now,but i do not know how is openwrt Different from dd-wrt? Does any one have any info regarding this? All i read was openwrt is much more linux like than dd-wrt. Thanks !

any help ?

I'd like to see a comparison of these as well.

If someone who knows about each package would post links to feature details I'll create a comparison table. (Yes, I could ferret these details myself, but I don't know enough
about this to avoid taking a long time to discover the details.)

Bonne chance,

I cannot provide you with a complete list, but from experience dd-wrt is much better for my uses. You should probably look at the project websites for a list of features for each. They are significantly different in both functionality and features.

Agreed. I'm asking for someone who understand each of the packages -- openWRT, DD-WRT,
Tomato, whatever -- to post a link to the relevant list of features.


Willing to help with a small bucket of round-to-its,

Did I hear someone [aka, ME] volunteer?

In the future, one can check out the main page of the WikiDevi website where one can enter the exact model number of one's router for useful firmware info.

Just as a relevant example, when one enters "D-Link DIR-300" into the top Search field of this WikiDevi page (again, https://wikidevi.com/wiki/Main_Page), one gets hits for different revisions of the D-Link DIR-300.
Following the link for the D-Link DIR-300 rev A1, one can see that this router can support both DD-WRT and OpenWrt firmware. Other revisions of the DIR-300 router are listed at the bottom, as well.
