There are far more options, quite a few of them are advanced options not necessary for the home, but neat none the less. There are also some third party software options to install (other firewalls, etc).

I've been reading up on dd-wrt for a while and thinking that I may want a WRT54G but just checking as it is slight more expensive than other routers I know of that are working perfectly well...

I'm considering just using MAC filtering for security, seeing as only my laptop and desktop are using it...
