First their 'tunnels' did not work as advertised and I spent months trying
things on their forums only to find out they didn't work per
documentation.  Second, it was such a pain to get the DD-WRT to work on the
hardware and you had to be very very careful to get the supported routers
model number and even then risk your money/investment flashing them.  After
a while, the risk vs what they gave you wasn't enough to overcome the
annoyance factor of the occasional brick at a time when the hardware was my
spare cash.

I don't handle work routers (Cisco) at home I have a D-Link that works well
enough.  For a point to point with a neighbor I have two Groove-5Hn that I
like a lot (PoE sitting in the attic just fine, though if I didn't have the
antenna's already then I would have gotten one of their integrated
solutions) .  I wil probably replace the D-Link with something of theirs
later this year.  Probably RB751U-2HnD or get a board and daughterboards
which would cost more.  Not sure yet.
