I have all services on the device disabled now and I use it only as a wireless ap. It works just fine, but why leave something with so much potential to sit and do relatively little? I&#39;d rather it sit and do relatively little with dd-wrt on it!!! ha ha. At least then it has more potential anyway. Thanks for your help and thoughts.<br>

&gt; I have an Actiontec PK5000 Qwest DSL modem that is no longer being used as a<br>

&gt; outside. I currently have a netgear WG602 which is a real piece and it is on<br>
&gt; its last leg. The netgear however is running dd-wrt. I would love to put<br>
&gt; dd-wrt or something similar on the actiontec, but I cannot find any custom<br>

</div></div>This Actiontec PK5000 is advertised as &quot;functionality as good as a<br>
WHR-HP-G54 running Tomato or DD-WRT&quot; in all the literature.<br>

dd-wrt:<br>
<br>
Currently there is no port of dd-wrt for the Actiontec PK5000.<br>

It is running busybox so you have telnet available to look around.<br>
It has a similar CPU to Avila, but there has been scant effort to port it.<br>
<br>
I believe there was an issue with Qwest proprietary portion of the<br>
firmware and copyright, as well as memory utilization precluding a<br>
swift port.<br>
<br>
tomato:<br>
<br>
No port available.<br>
<br>
Sorry!<br>
<br>
You might be able to upgrade your current firmware to the latest and greatest:<br>
