I bought this about a year ago to replace an old trusty Linksys wrt series and couldn't be happier. I know the reviews aren't the greatest but I guess I am lucky. The only drawback in my opinion is non removable antenna and the fact that the draft N is very weak after traveling through 2 floors, the G is strong however. You can also hook an external drive up to this for some networked storage which is handy. I tried ddwrt on it but honestly the stock firmware was all I really needed and very intuitive. You will also lose the network storage feature with ddwrt. I would recommend this router to anyone looking to upgrade their home network to gigabit on the cheap.
I like DD-WRT for another reason. Even if you don't use all the features you have a standardized interface you'll become familiar with and can navigate quicker instead of trying to remember where in the menus any particular setting is for a bunch of different routers.
Use DD-WRT only if anyone need to turn their router into BRIDGE, AP, REPEATER other than that there is no USE to flash original firmware to DD-WRT.
^ except what i just wrote, that you want all your routers to have the same GUI... it's very handy when you have to troubleshoot one remotely, to know where everything is in the menus.
DD-WRT FTW!
