Review on πŸ” Renewed Linksys E2500 Advanced Dual-Band Wireless-N Router with Simultaneous Connectivity by Ryan Yap

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Great router for amateurs - supports DD-WRT, Tomatousb, Mega firmware

Love it. This is a great router for techies/hobbyists who want to tinker with DD-WRT, Tomato, etc. I use Tomato on my computer and it works great. I have a v3 version of this router with a roomy 16MB flash that gives plenty of room for EFFS and packets if anyone is so inclined. For Tomato you will need a K26RT-N and make sure you have a Mega ROM (v3) as the smaller one is NOT compatible with this router and cannot flash (no brick, no worries). Get all the bells and whistles with Mega, including USB storage support, DLNA server, file server, etc. Neato! 5ghz works fine with Tomato Shibby. Be sure to completely erase all settings in management after flashing, otherwise 5GHz may not work. It could do with a refurb but looks brand new and hasn't been password locked or anything. For the price, an insanely cool router for hobbyists who want to use alternative firmware. Let's see if it works :) Will update in future if it explodes or has problems.

Pros
  • Elegant design
Cons
  • Weight
