It's true that some problems are solved with a firmware update, when one is available, but more often than not, users are stuck with issues that severely impact their Internet experience and no fix in sight. However, before starting throwing routers out and spending money on new ones (yes, I've read a lot of people saying that), users should be aware that there is another option at their disposal, in the form of a custom open source firmware called DD- WRT. What is DD- WRT and things to know before running with it.
DD- WRT is a custom open source firmware for routers, based on the Linux kernel, which is developed and maintained by a community of programmers. Originally written for the extremely popular WRT5. G Linksys router, the software has since evolved to support a wide array of devices from many manufacturers. DD- WRT is very powerful and unlocks access to advanced networking features that factory firmwares don't provide. It is so popular that some home networking equipment manufacturers like the UK- based Buffalo Technology pre- install a custom version of it on their routers.

All of this sounds appealing? Good, but first you should be aware of a few things. For one, installing a custom firmware on a D- Link device theoretically voids the warranty. I say theoretically, because practically if the router is not completely fried, you should be able to flash the factory firmware back and chances are no- one will tell the difference.
Even if it's completely dead I doubt anyone will attempt to repair it and see what you had on it. Chances are, your supplier will just replace it, but don't blame me if that doesn't happen. Second thing you should know is DD- WRT exposes a lot of settings the average user has no idea about.
My advice is not to mess around with anything you don't know and then complain that it doesn't work as expected anymore. Of course, set WAN, wireless security, port forwarding and the usual stuff, but for the rest I learned that default settings work best.
Where do I get DD- WRT from? Well, it's not that straight- forward as you might think.
The DD- WRT developers release individual builds for each router model and/or hardware revision (that's a lot I know). A particular router model/revision is not "officially" supported and added to the DD- WRT database until someone donates such a device to the DD- WRT dev team for development and testing purposes. However, there are unofficial builds for many models/revisions that are tagged as "work in progress" and much of the time they are stable enough to use without any concern of critical bugs. So now, back to our model of interest - the mighty DIR- 6. D- Link should be congratulated for, because it's a very decent product (hardware- wise) for a very good price.
The DIR- 6. 15 comes in many "flavors" (hardware revisions or versions). Amongst the ones that I know are: B1, B2, C1, C2, E1, E2, E3, E4, D1, D2, D3, D4, H1, H2, I1. Here is where to get the DD- WRT build for your particular revision. B1, B2: Sorry. No build for you guys. C1: ftp: //dd- wrt. Brain. Slayer- V2. SP2/[most_recent_date]/dlink- dir.
