Well, I ordered a TrendNet TEW-632BRP from buy.com last week, I think that they are still available for $25 with free shipping. Anyways, I recieved hardware version 1.3A. Which is interesting, because if you go to the download page on trendnet.com, and look up the TEW-632BRP, the page only lists 1.0A, and 1.1A/1.2A routers. No mention of 1.3A at all.

Thankfully, the 1.1, 1.2, and 1.3 routers appear to be virtually identical.

Following a procedure that I found on the DD-WRT forums, first I flashed the factory trendnet firmware upgrade to 1.10build19. Then I flashed with tew632brp-factory-to-ddwrt-firmware , the build 14896 that I downloaded from the DD-WRT router database page after searching for 632. The router database page says 1.1A is supported, but apparently it works for 1.2A and 1.3A too.

Don't forget that the default TrendNet IP is 192.168.10.1, and the default user/pass is admin/admin.
