What are people looking for in a home router? I'm assuming it's something in a feature set not provided by the router supplied by your broadband ISP?
Wireless? Multiple interfaces? FW Capability?

I tried the free Astaro offering for a while, as well as ddwrt, but I didn't like either of them. I'm so used to the full feature set at work, that I became very frustrated when I didn't have it at home. In hindsight, I think it was a very good decision.
