I have a Linksys WRT54GL access point acting as a NAT router, with the inside network being my house's wireless and the outside network being a point-to-point link to my DSL gateway. My ISP is Telmex (Prodigy Infinitum).
Yesterday, after spending like 2 hours troubleshooting a failing internet which turned out to be because the access point bugged out and stopped forwarding packets (solved with a 30-30-30 reset), I decided I need to install dd-wrt on my AP to see if it will be more stable. Judging from the feature list for the different builds, I think the Big build will be good for my case because I intend to use OpenVPN and IPv6 in the future. The feature list says the Big builds are for Broadcom devices, which is what the WRT54GL is. However, the instruction page does not mention any such thing about the Big build running successfully, all it says is that flashing a Mega build will brick my router and that I should flash first a Micro build, then a Standard, VOIP or VPN build.
So, given that there is no mention of Big builds of dd-wrt running on WRT54GL APs, does anyone here have any experience with running this kind of build?

According to the Router's page on the site it does not look like the Big Build is supported.

I never did find out how to get ipv6 on mine, it currently runs as an ap behind a newer router that does ipv6rd. – Journeyman Geek – 2014-06-09T08:05:43.043
