Even the replacement one. The stability and features that DD-WRT has over the stock firmware is incredible. The process isn't too difficult, and it's not as risky as it seems. I havn't bricked a single router yet, and I used to work for a local IT company that got me to flash every router we sold, because it makes future troubleshooting and management THAT much easier.

I took a look at the site - not sure where to start. The router appears to be dying - as the frequency with which it stays 'on' is greatly reduced with each subsequent reset. So, I'm off to the store to get a replacement. :( Thanks Jason. I took a look at the site - not sure where to start.

Because that particular router has a nice open system, a very nice, and more capable firmware was written for it. I use it on several of these routers in different scenarios and have had no problems. It could be the router itself or it could just need a good update. http://www.dd-wrt.com/dd-wrtv2/ddwrt.php If you are feeling brave, you could flash the router with the DD-WRT firmware.
