But nowadays, decent hardware is cheaper than ever and Linux is the new fad among the DIY community (I’m looking at you, Mr Raspberry), so why not making your own, tailor-made, wireless router once and for all? The HardwareĪmong the important pieces of hardware you’ll have to pick, you must first choose your platform: x86 or ARM? I’m not going to explain the key differences in details since that information is available, but long story short: the former have better performance while the latter is all about being cost and power effective. I’ve spent the last decade buying cheap networking hardware and upgrading them to DD-WRT in order to get back $500+ worth of “features” that have been expunged from the Linux kernel on which the stock firmwares were based on.ĭespite unstable builds, unfixed bugs and the controversy about it, DD-WRT was still a better choice than stock firmwares.
