I'm looking at getting some hardware (3 routers) to provide opendns on some sites with dynamic IPs. The management wants some content filtering and I don't really want to go down the opendns client route as they're admins on the PCs (I'm not getting into changing that) so could just remove it...
Anyone got any recommendations on the hardware side from experience?
I use WRT54G for my tomato router but to bne honest my pfSense setup just walks all over it. I use the WRT54G as a WAP these days

I'm using it on my WRT54GL. Avoid the latest build (1.25 I think) - I've had to go back to 1.23 to stop the router needing an hourly reboot.
I should think so tooOriginally Posted by Jay
There is a bit of a difference between a router firmware that's about 2 meg over a fully blown BSD install specialising in that area
As its router firmware I would say tomato specialises in routing as well to be honest

Sup burble.
Could be an idea this. I keep getting the odd situation where pages take ages to load and then suddenly load up properly again. Just assumed it was Be's fault.
Depends who's writing the firmwareI should think so too

Pretty much what I thought when I saw you.Fancy seeing you here
You could use DD-WRT too - and it depends on the hardware you pick.
Either way, get yourself a router with at least 8MB of flash so that you can have a play with some of the extra features.
If you want good wireless, go for an Atheros chipset, otherwise any of the Broadcom's will do!
I've got an Asus WL-500W, however I use it as a wireless print server, so I wanted the USB ports. I also have a 512MB SD card attached via a USB reader for extra JFFS space
It's just a shame that DD-WRT has been the victim of some pretty severe security issues recently.

Not really - the only real one that posed a serious issue was if people had enabled "Remote Administration", which I've always thought is a stupid option to enable anyway.
