I would need to move and test that script on the new router.
#SNMP DD WRT V24 SP2 UPDATE#
On the LAN server I run a weekly cron job to update the block list. While the RT-AC66U has more memory than the WRT54GL, I am not going to move the dnsmasq URL blocking scheme to the new router. The LAN server is scheduled to power down at night when no client systems are running. That means if the LAN server is unavailable then most devices connected to the router will stall. I configure DD-WRT to use the LAN server for DNS. I use dnsmasq for blocking undesirable URLs. I use dnsmasq on my LAN server to provide DNS lookups and name caching. My network laser printer is assigned an IP address within the approved subnet range and is therefore unavailable to house guests. This design prevents curious house guests from trying to snoop the server and private files. When testing and enabling DHCP, DD-WRT assigns addresses outside the preconfigured range. I configure DD-WRT not to provide DHCP addresses. I have both NFS and Samba configured on my LAN server to allow connections only from within a specific range of the subnet. DD-WRT on the RT-AC66U supports OpenVPN, which I want to use. On the WRT54GL I have DD-WRT configured with the following:Ī feature I did not use on the WRT54GL is a VPN because only PPTP is available. Time to update my documentation by rewriting them as a “DD-WRT From Scratch” exercise. Finding correct information is a frustrating effort. The web interface built-in help leaves much to be desired. Even finding the correct firmware version for a router is an uphill exercise. The DD-WRT wiki and forum is filled with old and obsolete information. Enabling and configuring various features often requires modifying options in more than one location in the web interface. I was rusty with configuring some of the features. I hadn’t configured DD-WRT from scratch in many years. DD-WRT for the RT-AC66U contains additional features I have seen never before with the WRT54GL. When I started configuring my Asus RT-AC66U from scratch I realized my documentation was insufficient. However it appears that mine is an 8 MB version so I'm going to see if I can find the "Standard" version and see what it says about my particular router.Įdit: Mine has 8 MB of RAM, but only 2 MB of Flash, so micro is the only version my router can take.I have decent notes and backups of my Linksys WRT54GL DD-WRT configuration. The micro edition is a stripped down version designed for the WRT54G v5 and other 2MB router models. The VPN edition includes OpenVPN but does not include IPv6, CIFS client, or kaid.

The VOIP distribution includes all features, with kaid removed to make room for Milkfish.
#SNMP DD WRT V24 SP2 FREE#
The standard-nokaid (std-nokaid) distribution includes all features of standard, with kaid removed to free some flash space. The standard (std) distribution includes all features, with the exception of VOIP. The mini contains all the features of the standard distribution, with the exception of chillispot, nocat, rflow, kaid, CIFS client, SNMP, IPv6, and MMC/SD card support.

There are several different distributions of the DD-WRT firmware. Just found this little message in the help documentation: It's not a deal breaker, there's no comparison between DD-WRT and the Linksys firmware, but this built-in VPN server would be a nifty feature to take advantage of. I've found under "Security" options to basically forward the traffic that has to do with VPN, but I cannot seem to find this built-in VPN server that I've been seeing people talk about. I googled a walkthrough that described a PPTP tab under the "Services" tab, but all I have under "Services" is, Services, Hotspot, and "My Ad Network". I cannot seem to find this VPN server however. This way I could securely access resources on my home network without having to forward unnecessary ports from the outside world. One feature I was looking forward to was the built-in VPN server. Even the process of flashing the firmware was very straight-forward, and not nearly as scary as the walkthrough made it sound. I'm loving DD-WRT so far, there's a lot of options that weren't there before.
#SNMP DD WRT V24 SP2 INSTALL#
After looking at and reading about DD-WRT and Tomato for some time, I finally decided to install DD-WRT after the latest upgrade to the factory Linksys firmware started causing intermittent outages.
