    This document discusses alternative open source firmware that can be installed on wireless routers to extend their functionality beyond the stock firmware. It summarizes three popular alternative firmware options - Tomato, OpenWRT, and DD-WRT. For each one, it provides brief information on their licensing, compatible hardware, and key features. It also directs the reader to hardware compatibility lists to check if their router can support these alternative firmware installations.

    Alternative Firmware

    We will cover:
    Tomato
    http://www.PolarCloud.com/tomato

    OpenWRT
    http://www.OpenWRT.org

    DD-WRT
    http://www.dd-wrt.com

    Alternative Firmware

    Also available
    FreeWRT

    http://www.FreeWRT.org meant to be an appliance development kit (ADK) especially designed for embedded system developers and advanced users.

    Tomato PolarCloud.com

    Simple replacement for Linksys, Buffalo, BCMxxx Extends Linksys WRT54GL GPL firmware License ? authors permission? Simpler of the 3 with some powerful features

    Linksys WRT54G v1-4, GS v1.-4, GL, Buffalo G54/G54s, Asus WL500G

    OpenWRT OpenWRT.org

    GPL license Latest version: Backfire (v10.03)

    Very large HCL (hardware compatibility list)


    Perhaps a bit more complicated, as many functions as command-line only

    DD-WRT DD-WRT.com

    Nice HCL database search and compatibility Lots of functionality, 99% GUI-driven Controversial - GPL; does not follow GPL 100%, accusations of stolen code, encrypted GUI code Commercial version available

    HCL Am I compatible?

    Tomato http://www.polarcloud.com/tomatofaq OpenWRT http://wiki.openwrt.org/toh/start DD-WRT http://www.dd-wrt.com/site/support/routerdatabase
