Testing routers with CDRouter

rolf

I thought this software is very interesting... especially for the folks at visp - if they still check these forums (?) (not that there's anything wrong with their routers... but you never know ;) )

It's for testing routers. You need a linux machine with 2 network ports... you connect these 2 ports to the router, one of the WAN side of the router, and one of the LAN side... and then you can run extensive tests on the router.

I'm currently having a problem with packet loss, and I might try their fully functional demo... on my wrt54gs (running tomato) when i have time.

Try dd-wrt, i've never had a problem using it with my wrt54g (v2) untill i bricked it :). (i'm getting Time Capsule from Apple.)
As for CDrouter, quite an interesting tool. Thanks for sharing Rolf!

I was using dd-wrt before. Tomato is supposedly more stable and has more features.
I'm having problems with FTP upload mostly, Files arrive corrupted and there's a lot of errors during upload. It might be the ISP.

Well, we don't use embedded routers right now. And our own routers comply to the latest standards (i am following the latest kernels/versions and helping developers to find bugs :-) )
