Detailed review
I bought this little router to experiment with using DD-WRT. I liked it so much that within a day I had replaced the ol' trusty WRT-54G that had been in my closet for 4 years. I saw a measurable speed bump of about 7mb/sec throughput in download speeds immediately. Along with all the DD-WRT features (VPN, better DHCP support, etc), you get a high-quality router for dirt cheap.

I can't really review it based on the stock firmware because the only time I used it was to load DD-WRT onto the device. But if you're looking for a good, cheap router that you can experiment on with open firmware, it's hard to beat this one.
