Fry's B&M: TrendNet TEW-652BRP draft-N router $29.99 no rebate

[kaborka]

Fry's has this TrendNet TEW-652BRP draft-N router in today's B&M ad for $29.99, no rebates.

Reviews at NewEgg are generally good. Anyone have experience with this router or TrendNet in general?

I have it. Got it from NE for like $20. It's a good router. Apparently there is some work to get WRT on it.

I was just trying to find out what is DD WRT and didn't find anything or didn't understand anything can anyone explain to me what is WRT and how it works? thanks in advance

It's an open-source alternative firmware that works on some routers, which provides more functionality than the stock mfr's firmware. Here is a Wikipedia link.

From what I've seen, the extension of DD-WRT to draft-N routers is new, and performance is typically not as good as stock firmware. (Counterarguments welcome!)
