Another Question For You, DD-WRT?
At any given time I have 2 dozen or more devices on my home network including 11 video cameras, a home server, 2 Amazon Fire devices, Roku, 6 PCs, 2 phones, a tablet, 5 switches, and 2 wireless APs. The weak spot in my network seems to be my router, a Netgear R6400v2. My network will get wonky (collisions, timeouts…) and a reboot fixes it for a few days or so. I’m considering flashing the router to DD-WRT mainly because it supposedly allows timed reboots. Have any of you used this? If so any thoughts?
My other solution is a new router which of course is $$$ that I would rather not spend ATM.
Stuff I bookmarked recently. Some off topic, some not:
LAST A-10 Warthog Brrrrrrt EVER to be built – theCHIVE
Despite the efforts of some morons over the years they aren’t going out of service yet: A-10 re-winging completed, will keep Warthog in the air until late 2030s

A-10 Brrrrrrrt Warthog Thunderbolt II Photos Gun Firing : theCHIVE
Cool pics of one of the worlds greatest ground combat weapons. True story…
I was stationed at Kriegsfeld Army Depot in Germany. It was a “special weapons” facility. We MPs that guarded the weapons were called “Towers Rats” (pic below). Every so often the A-10s from Sembach Air Base would come buzzing around the site. One day I climbed on top of my tower and as the A10 approached I dropped my BDU pants and mooned the pilot. He did a quick loop and buzzed my tower so close it shook for 30 seconds. Still makes me chuckle…

I have never used DD-WRT, but I am using fresh tomato firmware. It supports time reboots also and for networking it’s suppose to have more then dd wrt, but I do not know because my network is not like yours are. I use the default settings and so far it’s really great. The website is called fresh tomato.org I hope that helps you out.
I have used it in the past and liked it. It added more setting to play with. I’ve heard of tomato but never used it. My ASUS router uses Asuswrt-Merlin. which i love. Won’t help you though I don’t think. lol
I’ve used DD-WRT on several Linksys routers and an ASUS router and haven’t had any significant problems. Highly recommended. And yes, it can schedule reboots for a specific time or after a specific interval.
Amen to the DD. Works great, not as complicated as some of the other solutions. Makes an old router new again. Take your time and read as much as you can before you flash it.
