Title: Support for Boot PXE?
Post by: Tonga on May 02, 2011, 07:14:18 PM

I'm trying to use fog on my network (http://sourceforge.net/projects/freeghost/), but I'm not seeing anything for PXE in the router config anywhere.

Since the router is doing DHCP, I can't use FOG as the DHCP server.

Not sure if any of these routers have any UI or support for PXE.  :-\

That's really unfortunate that a higher end router doesn't support PXE options/DNS Masque.

Really wish I could put DD-WRT on here.

These routers are designed to be for Home and small business users. Not a lot of call for specialized options like PXE. I would recommend if you need these specialized options that there are probably other routers out there that handle this.

Yea i still have 2 Linksys routers with DD-WRT, but not really sure if I wanna go through the hassle.

Well, could set one of them up to be the PXE router and still use the 655 as your main ISP router.

ISP modem-->655---switch-->WRT router with PXE
