PfSense or MonoWall vs. DD-WRT or Tomato?
Has anyone here worked with these? I am wondering if it would be more
interesting to set up pfSense on an old pc or to buy an old Linksys router and try DD-WRT. I would like to have better real-time awareness of the traffic on my home network. Thanks. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PfSense http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DD-WRT |

Thanks. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PfSense http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DD-WRT I'm using DD-WRT v24-sp2 on a Linksys WRT54G so that I can use it as a wireless bridge (a mode which is not supported by the factory Linksys firmware). I have two WRT54Gs: one is connected to my broadband service and actually acts as a router. It has the factory Linksys firmware in it. The other one is down in the basement, providing a wired network there, and it is running DD-WRT in client bridge mode, so the computers in the basement have seamless access to the broadband service. |

Well, I just ordered a new WRT54GL from NewEgg so I'll be trying out DD-WRT next week. I don't even want wireless so that feature will be turned off. |
