It is possible to use experimental nano builds of some of the distros
(maybe someone did a DDwrt build for those by now), but I'd just take it
back to the store as defective. It's usually what I end up doing (I
guarantee they are certainly defective when they go back :P)...good luck
buying anything like what you need in the store, I wound up having to
purchase a 350N 12-18 months ago when I needed something in a pinch.

I've also got one of these newer boxes lying around, maybe I'll try a
recent Linux build. There's also a pile of older Linux routers in my
closet, but they haven't been powered up since I switched to 110V.

Jon.
