Gigabit router that works with DDWRT
- Thread starter elec999

Linksys WRTXXXN routers should work. I've been running DD-WRT on my 350N for quite a while, and it's worked fine. If you search for 1000Base on this page, you'll see a few others:

I don't think tomato is supported on any of these routers, which is too bad, since I ran tomato for years on my WRT54G.

Get a regular router, flash it with DD-WRT, and get a gigabit switch. Connect switch to one of the router ports and you're gold.
Why not just get a Gigabit Router ?

because its harder to find one that supports DD-WRT... thats why he's asking...

But then said gigabit switch is going to a Fast Ethernet port on the router. While most LAN communication could probably be done through the switch, a gigabit router would be better I believe.

It does appear that the 350N is the best option for running dd-wrt on a router with gigabit ethernet ports. It's unfortunate that the d-link DIR-655 wont run dd-wrt.
I'm considering getting a 350N to replace my wrt54gl. What is the cheapest I can get away with for pci 802.11n cards that actually work well? It's sort of expensive when you need 3 or 4 of them and the name brands are $90ish a pop.

And the Internet connection and wireless connections are all far less than 100Mb. No problem here.But then said gigabit switch is going to a Fast Ethernet port on the router. While most LAN communication could probably be done through the switch, a gigabit router would be better I believe.
Plus I prefer having my switches seperate from my routers since the routers die so easily.

If they're stationary and co-located, you should consider a wireless bridge. There are even some off-the-shelf draft-n ones these days, e.g. the SMBWEB-N. Of course if you manage to find a draft-n router with a hardware revision that's compatible with DD-WRT, you could consider getting two and running one in client bridge mode.
