I got the same Buffalo you are looking at ($40 shipped at Newegg) and
though I have not yet put it to work in the field, so to speak, I did
flash it over to DD-WRT and test it out. So far, so good. I like the
hardware and I like DD-WRT.

I must say, though, that if one was going to stick with the Buffalo
firmware, to me it sucks. The linksys firmware is much easier to set
up.

DD-WRT seems to be modeled on the linksys interface, so it's not only
powerful, but easy to set up too. So the nicely designed Buffalo using
the DD-WRT firmware seems like the best of both worlds.


It's kinda amusing how you deflected all attempts to help you revive
your linksys. Sounds like you have your mind set to get something new.

Don't throw it away though. Might be worth checking out the hard reset
and loose card ideas even if you do buy another....or else sell it
"as-is" on Ebay to somebody who's looking to own a V1.

I'm sure somebody on this forum would take it off your hands if nothing
else !

Cheers,
Steve
