The Open Source Wireless Router from Netgear

[blue]

WGR614l wireless router is wonderful product from Netgear. It supports many third party broadcom based firmwares like DD-WRT, Tomato etc. This is a good one for the newbies since its easy to setup and configure and as well as for the developer since it provides the freedom to choose third party software to port on it.

My Open Router has launched another independent firmware for Netgear wgr614L router. This firmware is also based on the standard Broadcom source code. I think soon we will get customized openWrt for wgr614l.

I have also tried this new firmware. It has some interesting features like Guest SSID, WPA/WPA2, WPS, Port Forwarding, Packet Filtering, MAC Filtering etc.

I have tried MOR firmware. Guest SSID feature is perfect to protect public from accessing our systems without having to hookup two non open source routers to the ISP router. Is this feature supported by Tomato or DD-WRT?

Guest SSID is not supported by Tomato or DD-WRT firmware.
