TRENDnet has released three new wireless AC routers with open source DD-WRT firmware compatibility – the TEW-818DRU (v1.0), TEW-812DRU (v2.0), and TEW-811DRU (v1.0).
DD-WRT is a Linux based alternative open source firmware for wireless routers and access points. DD-WRT unlocks operational modes such as using a router as a wireless extender, client bridge, or access point. It also offers a comprehensive set of controls including the ability to modify wireless radio power, define advance access controls, choose from a greater DDNS service support list, create a Wi-Fi hotspot, setup VLANs for the router’s wired ports, define advanced USB port functionality, manage enhanced QoS controls, and more.
