Sure, I was using the stock firmware and I didn't like that you
couldn't specify a source IP address when punching a hole in the
firewall for a particular port, and I also couldn't coax "Remote
Access" into working no matter what I tried.

I chose the WRT54GL because it has the best ratings on newegg.com. I
looked into OpenWRT once but decided against it after I decided
installation and possibly management was not nearly as trivial as I
had imagined.
> In another post you mentioned that you have a TP-Link TL-WR1043ND, which is a bunch newer, I think, and should run OpenWRT quite well.
I got rid of the TL-WR1043ND a while back because I couldn't get
packet shaping to work with the stock firmware no matter how I tried.
At this point I've sworn off mystery boxes. I even had a Dlink router
die on me recently. If I'm not using mystery boxes for greater
hardware reliability, why am I using them? Power consumption would be
a good reason but it's not worth it IMO.
