Guy says he has been running it for over a year and no problems with increased performance. I'm going to go home tonight and try it out!

I use DD-WRT, works great

Once I get something I like and working the way I want, I tend not to mess with it. If you're still running with the stock firmware then I'd definitely go for it, these open source firmwares give you a lot more options and features than the firmware that comes with the router.

Just make sure your router is supported before you attempt changing your firmware.. you don't want to end up with an expensive paper weight

Yup it's supported, I can't wait to try it! It looks to be something I was hoping for but just currently stumbled upon!
