I've been using a WRT54G with DD-WRT at home for a while now, it's been
pretty solid. Under other firmwares I did have problems with the WRT
turning into a brick, requiring a full reset and reflash via it's
modified TFTP recovery method. I don't know if that was something going
wrong with the hardware or just the firmware being flakey.

I'd stay away from Netgear stuff, by the way. I had horrible problems
with a Netgear AP that would simply decide to stop responding on it's
wireless device. Needed to be power cycled pretty much every time I
wanted to go use it. Newer models may be better though.
