When I got this router I went to this web site to get it to work as s bridge to my ddwrt router.

I have been using it successfully and can VPN in and such. I recently noticed some slow downs and checked back. Apparently, someone made an app that allows you to 'root' the router and put it in bridge mode properly.

but it does not work with the current firmware (d45) but does with an older verison.
This thread here has both a d30 and d45 bin:

I was able to flash the older, d30 bin and then 'root' it and put it into bridge mode. Both bins can be flashed from the router update page. The app claimed it installed telnet on port 28 but I could not get to it from my computer. The app was able to connect and successfully 'dump' and set 'modes'. In the end, I gave up and flashed it back to d45 and set it up as Ron Berman suggested. Is there any advantage to 'true bridge mode'? I am getting about 10meg down and 1meg up and have a vpn set up. I'd like a bit more 'up' speed.
