I agree with Jeromie on this. Everytime I run into a WRT54G/GS I load DDWRT on them. I have NEVER had a problem out of these home routers after doing that if they are setup correctly. Last I looked, they had many more coversions of home routers with athero's chipsets(DDWRT). I have even used these for "satellite AP's" before...until the NS2's came along!
