Turn your router into a super router. matagal nang mayroon nito nagtataka lang ako bakit walang thread kaya gumawa ako para makatulong sa iba na interesado.
Ive successfully flashed my routers (TPlink 740n V1 and V4) and configured it as a repeater of my existing wifi connection or wifi ng kapit bahay na alam ko ang password. normally pag bili nyo ng router stocked ang firmware nyan at sa wan(blue port) kukuha ng connection wifi ng router. but pag nakapagflash kayo ng DD-WRT firmware parang nauunlock ung maximum potential nung wifi router chipset at nakaka monitor nadin siya ng mga wifi AP with in range at once alam mo yung password ng wifi within range, may GUI page sa firmware na pwede ka komonek sa wifi na yan. at once connected kana, pede mo na isetup ung sariling wifi mo gamit ang wifi ng iba may internet na kahit wala nakasaksak sa wan port mo. repeater ang tawag dyan.
para mas malinaw ganito ang DD-WRT as a repeater

nasa left ung router ng kapitbahay mo na may legal connection
nasa right naman ung router mo na may ddwrt firmware. sa example, naishare nung router mo ung connection ng kapitbahay gamit lan cables at sariling wifi ap
pede nadin natin sabihing free internet hahahaha. kung sino man sa inyo DD-WRT user dyan post nyo model ng router nyo at firmware na ginamit para maging reference ng iba. kung ang router mo ay kamuka ng router ko post mo lang dito para mashare ko sa iyo paano ko napagana.

TIPS
- to determine your router model check and take note nyo sticker sa ilalim/likod, at pasuk din kayo sa default GUI at take note nyo din kung anong stocked firmware software. minsan v4 hardware nasa sticker pero iba naman nakalagay sa software version. pag na take note nyo na tsaka nyo tingnan sa supported devices link. usually may link naman dun papunta sa thread ng router model mo. from there basahin mo buong thread para maconfirm mo na iyan nga ang router mo. pede nyo din take note ung FFC ID ng router. it only took me like 15 mins to determine my router and to flash it. pero ang laki ng pinagbago from stocked to ddwrt powered router.
- pag success na kayo sa pagflash ng DDWRT firmware maninibago kayo sa umpisa maiiba na kase GUI ng router mo maiiba din default gateaway ng router page to 192.168.1.1. so kung ang isp modem mo ay may default gateaway din na 192.168.1.1 ay conflict na siya (BM622). change nyo lang LAN ip address see image below

wag ka matakot magexplore. pag medyo feeling mo naligaw kana perform ka lang ng 30/30/30 at explore from the start ka ulit from figuring out how to connect your ISP via wan/setup your wifi/ conect to nearby wifi access point (setup a repeater). pede din kayo post kung san mahirap baka makatulong kami ng mga ddwrt users
- sa dwwrt madami nadagdag na features. with stocked firmware with my modem bm622m hindi ko mapalitan DNS ko. pero sa ddwrt napalitan ko kaya mas bumilis browse ko.
- kung may latest build para sa router mo. its so easy as flashing only the "tl-wr740n-webflash.bin" di mo na kailangan iflash ung "factory-to-ddwrt.bin" kaya pwede mo itry lahat ng possible new builds sa future. from port forward, vpn support, wifi repeater, dns changed, dual/triple wan, to tunneling, overclocking, power management, tx/rx management, etc..... lahat yan supported na ng router mo. search search lang.
- hindi dahil latest/current build means wala ng bugs. maraming feedback sa ibang routers may bugs ung mga latest, para sa router ko kuntento na ako sa build ko ftp://ftp.dd-wrt.com/betas/2012/03-19-12-r18777/. kung may new build kayo na gusto itry maganda kung magbasa muna kayo sa thread nung build para alam nyo kung ano improvements/new features added/bugs based sa experience ng mga nakapagflashed na. minsan kase naiiba pagconfigure ng new router from one build to another.
- Change your DNS to OpenDNS/PAID DNS of your choice
- Go to Setup tab » Basic Setup sub tab » Network Setup section » Network Address Server Settings (DHCP), and
- Set Static DNS 1 to 208.67.222.222
- Set Static DNS 2 to 208.67.220.220
- Apply Settings
- Go to Services tab » Services sub tab » Services Management section » DNSMasq sub section
- Enable both DNSMasq and Local DNS options
- In the Additional DNSMasq Options text box, enter:
no-resolv
strict-order
server=208.67.222.222
server=208.67.220.220
Then vist this site to confirm its working https://www.opendns.com/welcome/ it should display somthing like this. mas mainam to kaysa iconfigure mo pa isa isa network properties ng mga devices na coconect sayo. OpenDNS ginamit ko na dns dyan sa example, pwede din kayo gumamit ng iba check nyo dito ibang availabe. http://public-dns.tk/nameserver/ph.html pili kayo kung ano malapit sa location nyo tapos observe nyo din kung may improvement.

- DDWRT QOS http://www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/Quality_of_Service
useful to sa mga may pc shops. minsan 3mbps plan sa 10pc, may nag youtube sa isa.... may nag ddl sa kabila.... asahan mong magrereklamo na ung nag sskype/online games kaya minsan pansinin nyo bawal po download at bawal po streaming. yan ay dahil walang proper QOS managment ang network. sa DDWRT mas advanced/easy QOS management. prioritize by app, prioritize by interface, prioritize by mac address, prioritize/control/deny packets depending on your needs.
UPDATE
QOS settings for TP-Link 740n V4.21(tested)
http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-XFzKzQTnj...UFJYtfbTpQ/s1600/TP-LINK-TL-WR741ND-2_enl.jpg
eto na mas pinadaling tutorial ng router ko with successful QOS settings for online games. tested as in i played 2 whole game of dota2 reborn with stable ping while my netbook is streaming youtube nonstop the whole 2 game. tested it side by side both connected to my network via wifi. I cant assure that this settings will work on other routers + ddwrt builds, dahil ang QOS settings may vary from one user to another (isp speed plan/router/ddwrt firmware/type of connections used(cables/wireless)).pero kung ang router mo ay kamuka ng router ko, i cant see any problem para hindi sya gumana as long as pareho ng setup ko kahit magkaiba tayu ng ISP/speed sa kahit anong build ports sa 740N (versions 1,2,3,4,5). Pero theres no risk on trying this and you can always perform hard reset or 30/30/30 pag naligaw or nagkaproblema router throughout the process.
MY SETUP:
ISP: Globe BM622m
Router: TP-link 740nv4.21(4.21 ang nakalagay sa sticker sa ilalim nya)
Firmmware Build: DD-WRT v3.0-r27506 (
ftp://ftp.dd-wrt.com/betas/2015/07-09-2015-r27506/) try nyo din to sa router nyo basta yan build gamit nyo malamang gagana yan.
ISP Speed: 10am-1.36download/0.36upload 1am-1.37download/0.38upload
- I suggest flash kayo ng firmware build na gamit ko para sa device nyo (i tried the last 2 latest firmwares for my device at may bugs, hindi ko maccess ddwrt GUI from wifi. dito ko sa firmware nato napagana. wifi stable, enable/disable QOS switch stable, GUI no errors reported, no random wifi drop, ACK timing supported, DNS change feature stable, etc).
- my BM622m ethernet is connected to my ddwrt via wan
- router is configured with wifi ( so lahat ng connections ko ay magdadaan sa wifi) simple procedure how to connect your isp sa router. before we proceed make sure na may internet access na ung router nyo.
Setting up the QOS:

http://i60.tinypic.com/5lqukk.png
1-4 see image
5 name ng game/app na gusto nyo bigyan ng prioritization
6. in this tutorial i used DOTA 2 reborn. it is using TCP and UDP protocol
7. port range na gamit ng game/app
8-12. see image
13-14. based on my speedtest results. i suggest perform speedtest from time to time esp on peak hours para magkaroon ka idea sa speed mo. advisable na magunderestimate kaysa mag overestimate ka according sa results.
15 follow the image
16. look for the game na inadd mo sa list kanina.
17. see image
18. select maximum here. refer to the qos wiki links for details
19. click apply and your router now should prioritize the packets of the game/app you specified.
20. start the game and enjoy your stable ping.
as long as alam nyo ung port range na gamit ng game/app na gusto nyo na iprioritize, dagdag nalang kayo ng dagdag sa steps 4-9.
Tutorial on how to confirm its working will follow soon pero sure na working yan tested nga eh na cdc lang ung mac address ko while im doing this tutorial. baka may mabait na may mac dyan? hahahaah!
