    Dd-wrt

    So I had troubles with my rooter, and decided to take actions toward this, after an hour or so of research, i found DD-WRT. [Google it, cant post link] It is amazing, and free. My download speed went from 200kb/s to well over 800~. It also reduced the number of freezes I had because of the wireless. Really the best thing I've ever downloaded. Try it
    Yep, I'm Lady GaGa. Or not.

    DD-WRT is indeed amazing. My Linksys WRT600N was fine with stock firmware, but there were small things bugging me with the occasional Netflix speed drop, slight lag, etc. DD-WRT made everything epically stable and I get to do so much more with the router.

    DD-WRT / Tomato / Tomato USB are all great upgrades over stock router firmware.

    I have DD-WRT on my access point, and it indeed pretty good. While it does handle better than stock firmware, I still managed to choke it to death when I used it as a gateway. xD

    The most powerful currently is the Netgear WNDR3700, then probably the Linksys E3000. Those should have sufficient SoCs for most people to run their various additional services/daemons.

    I have it on an older WRT54GL, which I replaced with a cheap ISA server. :3

    I used to use DD-WRT on a WRT54GL, then a WRT310N. But now I have a dual core atom Mini-ITX system running Gentoo as my router, AP, web server and some other things. It's pretty nice with dual Intel NICs.

    Indeed, I got a Pro1000CT in mine plus the onboard Artheros, then a 1gbps PCI Dlink for DMZ. System itself is a Pentium E5200, 2gb RAM.
