dd-wrt may have additional bells and whistles. It

had the urge to try some of the $30 routers. Competition generally
leads to a better, cheaper product.
The new user would be wise to survey what is available, and for how
much. But first learn the lingo well enough to determine if you need
feature such and such. dd-wrt is the only one I trust to not have a
back door in it. Someone else will have to attest for openwrt, and
tomato as I have exactly zero experience with them.
I've also previously used the dd-wrt, but after I get to know better
OpenWRT, it became my first choice. Part of flash is available as a
regular filesystem. Is there a proper packaging system. In short, much
more versatile than dd-wrt.
Anyway, when I last looked at the dd-wrt pages, so it seemed to me that
the development already stagnant for some time.
