Many years ago I flashed my WRT54G with DD-WRT and a few months ago the 
port-forwarding and the wireless stopped working. After a few hours of 
diagnosis I figured it had succumbed to the usual 54G problem - overheating.

In a last-ditch effort I re-flashed with the latest DD-WRT and it came up a 
treat - everything started working again!

I will say though that there's not much I could write about. Download, 
flash, re-enter the configuration, and away it goes. I'm not using much that 
wasn't already available on the stock firmware though IIRC; I think the 
forwarding options are better but aside from that I can't recall what other 
features I took advantage of, given that I haven't seen the original 
firmware in many years. I did try boosting the wireless power at one point 
but in the end backed off so as to avoid frying the radios.

Oh I think I originally went to DD-WRT because of issues with connections 
due to my torrent client; it got to the point where I'd have to reboot the 
router every few days! No such issues ever since.
