    what the latest on the hackable routers that take ddwrt or tomato ?

    its to do with my other post as i remember hearing these can be flashed and allowed alot more functionality including using them as a wifi bridge ?

    would be nice if it has some other features liek usb ports or somethingg for sharing files but wifi bridge is my main concern and urgent lol

    I wonder if one of those ethernet bridges that you plug into the mains would work for you?

    I've flashed a LaFon WLAN router box with DD-WRT firmware and have it working as bridge on my Sony 32EX403. It was previously connected on my 360 to old CRT TV. It works a treat. As pointed by b0redom, you might need a cheap compatible router that can be flashed with DD-WRT firmware and off you go.
