You made me subscribe to this forum !
This is a great step forward custom firmware for this nice box. All "usual" alternate firmwares (dd-wrt, open-wrt, sveasoft, ...) are not considering porting to wrvs4400n, so you are our last hope !
The problem seems to be on the binaries which prevent newer kernels to be compiled
Let us know your progress on this awesome box !
Linksys is to release a firmware very soon to correct broken DHCP behavior soon, but well...... I'd prefer a clean one and openness

and Happy New Year !

has anybody been able to build from source the firmware? I tried and ended up with firmware that is smaller than the one downloaded?  did they exclude something required to build?

I would be interested in seeing etherchannel support. I realize the switch supports trunks, but I've always liked the concept of etherchannels. No real advantage to the technology, just something fun to play with (say, dual GigE off to a linux server FTW?  )

This post is what made the decision for me to purchase the WRVS4400N instead of the WRT600N. 

But sadly in haste, I "assumed" the "dual radios" meant it would work 5Ghz 11n over one radio, and 2.4Ghz 11b/g over the other radio.

Coem to find out after several calls to Linksys 2nd tier support is that, and I quote, "The 2nd radio is not in use at this time.  The next version of the hardware and firmware will support 5Ghz A and N.  But your version will not be flash upgradable to support this as the hardware has changed."

That ticked me off because in my building, a 11g spectrum analyzer shows 42 seperate B/G networks and 15 "N" networks.  Too much interference for me to hold a solid 11g connection.  And all of the 11n networks are sitting on 20 and 40mhz.

What's interesting is no one is on the 5Ghz band.  So this is why I am returning the WRVS4400N and going for the WRT600N (and dd-wrt when it matures more for the 600n). 

Good luck with the wrvs4400n!  It really looks like an impressive piece of hardware.  But with no support planned from dd-wrt and this "oh, there is a 2nd radio - but it is not used" experience, the 4400n lost a big fan.

Hi TrNSZ,

First let me thank you for your great work on this router!

Did you ever get anywhere compiling a custom firmware and uploading it? did it work? could you give us an update on your work on this router? last thing we heard from you about this was like 4 months ago, I cant believe you did all that work to just abandon it...

Cheers,

Lumute

Hello.

I recently purchased the WRVS4400N and when I tried to do as the instructions stated I found that your FTP site is no longer working. do you know when it will be back up or when you will post the firmware image?

Would anyone have a backup of those files and the script... Been trying to contact TrNSZ but he sadly seems to have vanished from the web all along his ftps and all the files...
