+1 for DD-WRT on a WRT54GL
i use them as VPN endpoints for a customer network. pfSense at office acts as OpenVPN server and the endpoints will automatically establish SSL VPN tunnels back to the office when they are plugged in, pretty rock solid for this non-enterprise application remember that WRT54GL has a 200 Mhz MIPS processor, so don't expect to perform a ton of processing on your data. still, huge improvement over stock firmware. |

Try Tomato. It's another open source router firmware. It doesn't have quite as many features as dd-wrt, but it's still got more than 99% of people are ever going to use. I've been using it for a couple of weeks now, and thus far, it's been very nice. And Tomato has some really nice graphing features that DD-WRT doesn't. |

I bricked my router trying this today.  There possibly are ways to unbrick it. What router do you have? WRT54G V8 I've had it about a month but was pretty disappointed in the performance so I gave it a shot. samething happened to me, just flashed it with the original firmware and started over...not sure how good it is for it but it seemed to work i guess...dont see much of a diffrence from the original

my linksys is too new and has the bare minimum amount of ram. I think linksys did this on later ones to discourage the use of third party firmware
iirc from when I looked into it I could run a lite version but the differences in features wasn't worth the hassle and potential risk of bricking it |
