Linksys WRT54G v8.0 and DD-WRT
I still use a Linksys WRT54G that has been stable and mostly solid. When Cisco purchased Linksys, firmware upgrades ceased and the model is listed as no longer supported. Previous firmware upgrades addressed some security issues.
There is a recent version of DD-WRT for this particular router. For me the main reason to flash to DD-WRT would be security issues. Is there a place to look for security issues - general internet searches just say that routers are vulnerable and give no specifics. The router sits behind a Cisco 678 modem and I've yet to implement a firewall. Last edited by shep; 12th April 2015 at 12:33 PM. Reason: spelling |

The DD-WRT version for my system was built in 2009 and the latest firmware upgrade was from 2011. In an effort to up my security, I set the web interface to https only to find that the routers certificate is self-signed and Firefox 31 has an issue adding certificates. The micro version of DD-WRT does not support https so I'm going to leave it as it for now. Last edited by shep; 12th April 2015 at 12:35 PM. Reason: Added self-signed certificates information |
