DD-WRT is a free firmware for several wireless routers, most notably the Linksys WRT54G (now WRT54GL), that run minimalist Linux-based operating systems. It is licensed under the GNU General Public License version 2.

DD-WRT is maintained by BrainSlayer at dd-wrt.com. DD-WRT up to v22 (current version is v23 SP2) was based on the Alchemy firmware from Sveasoft, and Alchemy is based on the original Linksys firmware. DD-WRT and Alchemy also include other open source projects.

Among other features not found in the original Linksys firmware, DD-WRT adds the Kai Console Gaming network daemon, IPv6, Wireless Distribution System (WDS), RADIUS, advanced quality of service (QoS) controls for bandwidth allocation, radio output power control (with possible settings up to 251mW, which is far greater than the router's default power output) and software support for a Secure Digital card hardware modification.

DD-WRT v23 Service Pack 1 (SP1) was released on May 16 2006. Much of the code was overhauled and rewritten during the development of this release, and many new features were added.

DD-WRT v23 SP2

DD-WRT v23 Service Pack 2 (SP2) was released on September 13 2006. The interface was overhauled, and some new features were added. Some additional router models are supported, with more planned. There is alpha support for some PowerPC and IXP425 based router bourds; including the magicbox.

DD-WRT v24 is in development and currently available only in an alpha version. DD-WRT v24 will eventually allow up to 16 virtual interfaces with different SSID's and encryption protocols.
