<div dir="ltr"><div>Shavua Tov!</div><div> </div><div>This may not be in the spirit of Linux-IL, but I was able to solve a lot of DSL annoyances by moving our small office to a Cisco 800-series ADSL+WiFi (provided as part of their BizNet service). The router performs rock-solid with uptime measure in years (assuming you never update it...) and routing works exactly as you'd expect, no-nonsense. If you don't have someone on-site with Cisco experience, Bezeq will manage it for you as part of the BizNet service (which also has faster upload-speed options than otherwise available).</div>
<div>I'm not saying that this is an equivalent solution to DD-WRT (especially as concerning "Free as in Beer/Speech"), but if you have a client experiencing networking issues, as one professional to another, this may be a possible solution.</div>

I used to have a 841ND running OpenWRT until I bricked it with a<br>
botched upgrade and though it has recovery options as documented in<br>
the wiki I never had the time so I bought a 1043ND, with which I was<br>
pretty happy with stock so so far I have only made sure it's stock is<br>
up to date and not yet upgraded to openwrt.<br>
<br>
The 740N also supports OpenWRT and seemingly has some pretty cool<br>
features (for it's really low price) if your are willing to solder,<br>
but due to low memory you may not be able to have a Web interface with<br>
OpenWRT (at least not on initial flash, you can install it<br>
afterwards).<br>
<br>
Those are the models I have touched (and are widely available here in<br>
Israel), have a look here:<br>
