I have an Edimax BR-6524n router. The Edimax website says it has 4 MB NOR Flash and 16 MB SDRAM.

Can I install Tomato or DD-WRT on it? These are the ones that Jeff recommends, and I want to try it.

No, it's supported by neither.

From http://www.polarcloud.com/tomato:

Routers that are known to work with Tomato:

  • Linksys WRT54G v1-v4, WRT54GS v1-v4, WRT54GL v1.x, WRTSL54GS (no USB support)
  • Buffalo WHR-G54S, WHR-HP-G54, WZR-G54, WBR2-G54, WBR-G54, WZR-HP-G54, WZR-RS-G54, WZR-RS-G54HP, WVR-G54-NF, WHR2-A54-G54, WHR3-AG54
  • Asus WL500G Premium (no USB support), WL500GE, WL520GU (no USB support)
  • Sparklan WX6615GT, Fuji RT390W, Microsoft MN-700

http://www.dd-wrt.com/site/support/router-database does not list it as supported.

That list seems far from exhaustive, as I can name two routers that can run Tomato that are not listed, off the top of my head: Asus RT-N16 and Netgear WNR3500L. Basically, there are many forks off Tomato. DD-WRT supports a more routers - not just ones with Broadcom chipsets. – paradroid Dec 21 '10 at 22:31
Hence my answer it's not supported, not you can't ;) – Matthieu Cartier Dec 21 '10 at 22:33
