DD-WRT is a different operating system that allows more control.

You can increase power on the Linksys 54GL, for example, to levels higher than the Linksys operating software allows.

You will risk bricking the router when installing it and you MUST NOT try to install with software firewall or antivirus programs running. I have the DD-WRT on one of my linksys routers and do not know enough to take advantage of the new capabilities. For somebody like this (i.e., me) I would recommend not playing with DD-WRT. I did brick one router because I forgot to remove zonealarm before flashing. Unbricking is possible but also tricky.
