    Why do you need a tweak? Firmware updates are done through the router setup menu, and will require a router restart after update.

    11n does not work. The tweek you need is "take it back to where you bought it" and return it.

    Test show in a real world setting it does not have longer range. It is forced down to 11g, standard operation when 11b/g is present. Unless you are in the boonies there is no gain.

    Back to Photoguy's question. As far as I know there are no tweaked firmwares for the N1. If the N1 is working so well for you why do you need a tweaked firmware? I only ask as I can't think of 1 good reason to install a tweaked firmware on mine :D
