I started off with the r7000 Netgear firmware and found that it was dropping connection to my Netgear WN3000RP extender every 24 hours. The firmware file can be downloaded via this link. Access Restrictions URL/Keyword/Protocol Based.Firewall with Logging to integrated syslog or remote logging server.Wireless AP/Repeater/Repeater Bridge/Client/Client Bridge/Guest Wireless.WAN Support Static/DHCP/PPPOE/PPPOE Dual/PPTP/L2TP/Mobile Broadband 3G/4G.It has limited flash size and therefore we cannot add all features.The unit is smaller than other routers in this class.Good usb storage performance as it features a arm dual core cpu (2x800Mhz).For the price, you will get a router with very good range, most wireless routers in this class only come with internal antennae.The reason why I think this hardware is interesting to use as a wireless router with DD-WRT are the following: you have defined a schedule to turn off the radio at certain times and it is currently turned off you can quickly turn the radios on in order to have wireless access. This is useful if you want to quickly turn on/off the radios, e.g. The WPS button on the back is being used as radio on off switch. if you press Save or Apply in the web, this light will confirm this action. NETGEAR logo is used as diag light indicating DD-WRT diag events, e.g. The wifi lights will only display if the radio is online or offline. The LED with label "Connected" will show WAN status, once it lights up you are connected to WAN either through a cable connection or wifi connection, e.g. In the picture below you can see that once you have flashed DD-WRT, you will have one WAN port, which is port 5 on the router. Since there are differences in features, I'm going to explain a few of the changes when using it with DD-WRT. DD-WRT allows you to use one of the LAN ports as a WAN port + 4 LAN ports. DD-WRT will transform this Range Extender into a full featured Wifi Router.īy default, the EX6200 has 5 LAN ports and no WAN port. The EX6200 is naturally a Wifi Range Extender - now, it gets a special upgrade using DD-WRT open source firmware. Introducing: DD-WRT for the NETGEAR EX6200.
