Does DD-WRT or other 3rd party builds work with this router?

All I can say is that i replaced my Linksys with the Blue Cave. Should have only taken 5 minutes but i thought i was smarter than the router and took 15 minutes to install. Follow mfg. Instructions and it works great. No drops or reboots as was my older Linksys.

what kind of processor is in it?

Intel Atom 3 Core is in the Blue Cave Ac2600
