Topic: Experiences with WPN824 v2

1 Mar 2009, 02:00

Hi Guys, want to know if anyone of you have good experiences with WPN824 v2 and open-wrt..
The router appears in the hardware compatibility list, but as untested...

Thanks a lot!

http://www.inter-solar.ru/WPN824N-V1.0.0.12.img 2816K

compiled from opensource - new firmware: new build for WPN824 from
http://kb.netgear.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/2649

Source: Firmware Netgear on GPL - ftp://downloads.netgear.com/files/GPL/W … ar.bz2.zip 135298 KB - 05.01.2010

Upgrade:

If Need more small - use modkit for smaller size
Original size ~ 2.8Mb
Need 2Mb
for example see this link https://www.dd-wrt.com/phpBB2/viewtopic … 24453df2c0

this is official page for download modkit for Open-WRT http://code.google.com/p/firmware-mod-kit/
see doc

interesting.
These devices has smartMIMO technology from Ruckus wireless.
http://www.ruckuswireless.com/
It enable to select antenna among multiple antennas.

Does the development environment have the source code of the driver for antenna selection?
