Hi, I had (have) them all ;-) You can not compare both ideas of having a router OS. DD-WRT is easy to use; web interface; a given ritch feature set with backup and recovery. You will have a very fast ROI. But if you want more - it gets more complicated. For running Bering you need more knowledge of linux. With it's packages it gives you a feature set which is enterprise level and above. Also it is not limited to a series of routers running on - but here DD-WRT is getting better. Combine both worlds: Run your Asus, D-Link or Linksys router with DD-WRT and manage your application firewall and it'S services with bering and you'll have them all ;-)
