If you want more frequent updates, you either must go with an interim beta or pick a manufacturer-supplied version with regular revisions. This allows the firmware to be placed on devices of widely varying storage capacity. It also comes in a range of differently sized builds, from the 2MB "micro" build that supports only the most essential functions to the 8MB "mega" build that has, well, everything. The DD-WRT maintainers also keep a database of supported devicesalong with a list in their wiki of both devices and features. Some may require unit-specific hackery to work some may not work at all, period.

To that end, we've presented them with the more embedded-oriented solutions first and the more generic-PC oriented solutions last.
Some of these are designed for embedded hardware or specific models of router only some are designed as more hardware-agnostic solutions and some are intended to serve as the backbone for xbased appliances. In this piece we've rounded up five of the most common varieties of third-party operating systems, with emphasis on what they give you and who they're best for. Start by looking at the available offerings, picking one of them based on the feature set, and selecting a suitable device from the hardware compatibility list for that offering. If you want to buy a router specifically to be modded, you might be best served by working backward. The hard part is figuring out where to start. In many cases the benefits are major and concrete: a broader palette of features, better routing functions, tighter security, and the ability to configure details not normally allowed by the stock firmware such as antenna output power. Apart from smartphones, routers and wireless base stations are undoubtedly the most widely hacked and user-modded consumer devices. You have nothing to lose but the lousy stock firmware your routers shipped with. Using S button to enable boot from network not working.Hackers of the world, unite!
