Not going to happen with DD-WRT with this router. Overclocking the CPU to 400MHz, beefing up the wireless to 70mW if we could do all of that no need to buy any wireless access N points for weak areas. Okay back to real life..

So you use your IP http://72.72.72.72:8080 and it didn't work. What error did get you get?

you can't loop back.
access the configuration from the LAN side at it's LAN address, and the WAN side at the WAN address.

DDWRT firmware is custom firmware. You should not compare them with standard issue firmware since only a minority of routers is supported by this firmware and are specially designed for the more demanding (geek) public. This will never be applicable for the DIR because the firmware is propriety firmware.

Also you're comparing a Netgear and a D-Link. It's apples and oranges.

You're making me curious...How's the Netgear market positioning different from Dlink's (other then a somewhat smaller product range)?

i wouldn't buy another net gear, i needed a router fast, it was late, walmart was open need i say more.
it was a wireless n 3 internal antennas, but i had to put the mini version of dd-wrt on it because of the limited memory it had, i had to reboot it often and when my wireless signal dropped off a couple of times i went for a d-link i just liked the dd-wrt interface better,i wanted a really good router that i can load it on too which i might just do that if i dont like this router, i just got it on sat. still messing around with it

, i wanted a way i could test the things i do from inside the network.

i will say this i got a nice strong signal and it seems to be rock solid

Feature sets and Code base. I meant nothing by it other then D-Link runs our hardware one way and others run theirs their way.
To compare a feature that was in one vendors product and assume that it's in another is naive.
(obvious functionality excluded [e.g NAT, DHCP, port forwarding, etc])

As a standpoint D-Link believes that a loop-back could be used in a hack attempt and does not allow this in our code.
