Yeah there was a dead zone in my house that was so bad, I was about to buy a $100 repeater. Then on a whim, I googled "DD-WRT bridge" sure enough there's some black magic that allows me to use my old WRT54g without creating more e-waste. Also, my new Asus router had to be rebooted about once a month until I found and flashed it with Asuswrt-Merlin firmware.

Just in the past year, I've found 2 great uses for custom firmware, rejuvenate old hardware and improvements to official f/w. I'm going to do some more research and send them a piece of my mind:
