Fans of basic DD-WRT routers often recommend the DIR-615 as a starter or add-on device for users looking to familiarize themselves with all that a firmware upgrade can offer. FlashRouters upgrades the D-Link DIR-615 to DD-WRT, enhancing the hardware's features and security options. DD-WRT firmware integrates native Virtual Private Network (VPN) support for PPTP, OpenVPN and L2TP to encrypt all of the traffic that travels through the router.

DD-WRT on the DIR-615 offers stable connections for wired and wireless clients based on its 400 MHz Atheros CPU. This is particularly true when utilizing Quality of Service (QoS) premium bandwidth controls for monitoring and optimizing performance on streaming devices, tablets, and popular basic streaming video and VOIP services like Netflix, Skype, Hulu and ESPN.

Using DD-WRT can make your network infinitely more stable and easier to tweak. FlashRouters creates a complete out-of-the-box, plug and play DD-WRT upgraded router solution that includes all the most popular DD-WRT features:

• VPN Router: Upgrading to a DD-WRT DIR-615 allows for built-in VPN connections with OpenVPN and PPTP, creating a secure tunnel for any device just by connecting to the router. When you use a Virtual Private Network (VPN) connection, you get an additional layer of Internet security and encryption that allows you to mask your location or to access regionally restricted video and streaming content. Read more about what VPN can do under the VPN Service tab.
• Dual Router Setup: In the dual router setup, one router is connected to your local Internet Service Provider and the DIR-615 can be used as a dedicated VPN router. Learn more about the FlashRouters Dual Router Setup.
• Wireless Extender/Bridge Options: Depending on your build and chip type, you can set up a variety of wireless extender options with a DD-WRT router. This will allow you to extend the current reach of the router, improving wireless range in homes and offices. You can also use DD-WRT to create a wireless bridge. With a wireless bridge, you can establish a wired connection without running actual cables and you can create wired ports for a 3G/4G MiFi device.
