Yes, although a new E2100L is much than $20 more than the refurb'ed 160NL. > As for dd-wrt, I personally find the extra features (like the built-in > OpenVPN client and the xbox-kaid) to be useful for my own personal > needs. Indeed, although having the option to use dd-wrt (or openwrt) is helpful if the vendor is slow to update their stock firmware in the case of a significant bug or security issue. > If the stock firmware fills your needs, then there's no reason you > would *have* to flash with a third-party firmware.

Agreed. I flashed mine with both the lasted vendor firmware and dd-wrt version to compare and saved a working config from each, but I'm currently running with the vendor's version for now. I have a FreeBSD box configured as the DMZ host which does dyndns updates and used to do OpenVPN. The first I'm still using, the second I don't need to, but if I did, I'd probably move to having the router do it with the dd-wrt firmware instead.
