I miss the days of running DD-WRT. I stopped when I got FiOS and now I have Google WiFi in the house for the mesh network since my FiOS router is in the basement. If my Google WiFi ever dies though I could see myself doing a DIY mesh with dd-wrt or openwrt.

I haven't touch OpenWRT (DD-WRT specifically) since the last Linksys WRT54G I had. I had about a dozen of them at one point that I had collected, mostly the WRT54GS. Ended up throwing them all away, no need for 802.11G/100Mbit hardware anymore.

Switched to pfSense and haven't looked back.
