Īs for the different services incorporated in this router, we have the possibility to configure the DHCP client, dnsmasq, configure the DNSSEC, the Encrypt DNS and many other options, we also have the FreeRADIUS service, PPPoE server, possibility of configuring PPTP VPN server and OpenVPN with all the advanced configuration options, it supports OpenVPN client and also SoftEthernet VPN.

The most interesting thing about the WiFi part is that we can configure WPA2-Enterprise, where we can authenticate wireless clients on a FreeRADIUS server, this router incorporates a FreeRADIUS server, so we will not have to install an external RADIUS, although we would also have this option. Of course, we can modify the wireless security, channel widths, and many other typical options. In the wireless section we can configure an SSID for each frequency band (main), but then we can configure other SSIDs additionally with virtual interfaces, in addition, we can create an SSID in a specific subnet to isolate the wireless clients. We can also configure bridges between different connections, perform interface bonding and much more. Routers with DD-WRT can be configured as a gateway, but also as a router with IGP and EGP routing protocols, specifically, it supports both RIPv2 and OSPF as well as BGP, all of this in a very advanced way since we fully enter into routing.
#SETUP DD WRT GUEST PRIVATE NETWORK MAC#
Of course, this router is compatible with IPv6 networks, incorporates a large number of compatible DDNS services to register, the possibility of cloning the MAC for the Internet WAN and even configuring the router in an advanced way.
#SETUP DD WRT GUEST PRIVATE NETWORK PROFESSIONAL#
The firmware allows us to configure any type of connection, it allows us to put the DNS servers we want, and we can even configure the LAN with VLANs to correctly segment the home or professional local network. The firmware supports it, but we must configure it internally with scripts because we do not have a Movistar profile as such. This firmware has the possibility of configuring the WAN in an advanced way, configuring VLANs facing the WAN to be compatible with the main FTTH operators in Spain, it also allows us to configure VLANs per port and even the triple VLAN of Movistar FTTH, but all this “manually”. This firmware has a huge amount of advanced configuration options that can be configured through the graphical user interface, but we must also bear in mind that many of the more advanced options must be executed through the command line via SSH, and we can even program our own scripts to automate different actions at startup.
#SETUP DD WRT GUEST PRIVATE NETWORK SOFTWARE#
Depending on the router hardware, we can install a greater number of services to make the most of it, although if the hardware is mid-range, then it is better not to use additional software such as the BitTorrent client because it needs large CPU and RAM resources in the router.

This firmware will help us to have the maximum performance in the local network, whether wired or WiFi, we will also have very advanced functionalities such as QoS, VPN servers, RADIUS server for client authentication, and we can even install a BitTorrent client. The firmware has the same advanced configuration options in all compatible routers, or at least almost the same options, because depending on the hardware, we will have some functionalities or others.

The DD-WRT firmware will help us to “unlock” a large number of functionalities in our router. Therefore, DD-WRT is a very complete and advanced firmware, which is not always compatible with all routers, in fact, it is highly recommended that if you want to use DD-WRT, buy a router that appears in the list of compatible routers to not have unexpected problems. However, the downside is that not all routers support DD-WRT, either because the development team has not focused on them, or because their hardware is simply not supported by having private binaries. In those routers that do not have good firmware, with dozens of configuration options, you can install the DD-WRT firmware to have all the advanced options you can imagine.
