That's a fair point.

DD-WRT is listed as INCOMPATABLE for the WGR614v10 that I have and I don't
see the model class at all on openwrt. That would mean that I would have to
buy a new one to start with - and I am not willing to do that with Netgear
right now. Personal thing. Since Paul is loaning me a compatible unit, I
will play with (at least) DD-WRT on that and see if it makes sense to do
something else.

I may consider purchasing a Netgear later though. If I find the Linksys
adequate, it should be enough to put either DD-WRT or openwrt on that - and
then maybe pick something up later on when things get more critical.

I'm not pushing this stuff very hard really.
