Further proving my point

. Any ideas then? I'm not too sure on DD-WRT seems a bit hit and miss... I've got to use a RC3 version so it works on my router and i don't even know if it will extend its power capabilities...

How do sveasoft make sure you've paid anyway? Surely if i can acquire the firmware somewhere i'll be good to go, albeit without updates yeah?

They've thought about that. Before you can download the firmware you have to tell them the MAC address of the LAN interface of your router and then a custom version of the firmware is built for you. Try to use a build for a router other than yours and it'll tell you to get stuffed.

I believe at some point at least the firmware you bought was tied to a MAC address of the router.

[edit]Heh. My powers are weak old me.

Dammit i can't use DD-WRT or Sveasoft either, i have a WRT300N V2 (apparently Europe got stuff with these non broadcom hardware based routers). Sucks... Looks like i'm sticking with the original firmware
