The one thing I know I can do now that I couldn't do before is have DNS lookup for the machines on my local network. That feature is why I tried this. You can go to the DD-WRT web site, the to the About page of the Wiki that will give an overview of the features. I am thinking of upgrading further from the mini version to the standard version because I think I might be able to create a bridge between the wireless network and the LAN. I need to do some more reading first. So far no problems with the new firmware. Steve.
