Ask Slashdot: Best Flash-Friendly Router To Replace Aging WRT54GS?

Posted by timothy on from the when-you-want-to-control-the-vertical-and-horizontal dept.

New submitter Juggler00 writes "I have been running DD-WRT (v24-sp2) on my Linksys WRT54GS for a couple of years now. I'm now finding that the box cannot keep up with the requests/requirements I have for it--it simply does not have the MIPS/horsepower. I am turning to the collective wisdom of the Slashdot community for 2 things: what alternative firmware should I be using (DD-WRT, Tomato, OpenWRT, or something else?) and based on the answer to this question, what is the suggested router to purchase to flash? My software requirements include DynDNS client, DHCP server providing option 66, static IP assignment based on MAC, port forwarding, and basic QoS (bittorrent lowest priority). For hardware, I'm looking for GigE ports and 802.11N (5.8GHz not a requirement)."

    How do you know they are complete trash? If you didn't get the reference you clearly didn't see all of them :)

    You've got to be kidding. The first and second were both plagued with absolutely horrible acting and dialog, but the first was a little better simply because Anakin was a child, played by a (poor) child actor, and most peoples' expectations of child actors aren't that high. In the second, Anakin was played by a ~20-year-old, and his acting was just as bad as Jake Lloyd's, except he didn't have the excuse of being only 10 and not having any real training in acting. The lines between Christensen and Portman were probably the worst I've ever seen in a movie on a big screen.

    No, I just happen to have a good memory for anything I read. I'm sure his name has come up here in discussions about the prequels, and I probably was surfing IMDB and looked at his profile to see what else he's done, which is almost nothing IIRC. But you don't find it "slightly creepy" that I also remember the names of Hayden Christensen and Natalie Portman?

    Actually, the best thing about Ep. 1 was that Keira Knightley was in it (disguised as Natalie). Maybe that's why you liked "the chick" better in the first movie; it wasn't the same chick in many scenes. I'd take Keira over Natalie any day.

    I must say that I find slightly creepy the fact that you know the name of that 10 year-old actor.

    Haven't you heard of Google? Of IMDB?
