Linksys hardware is ok. Just don't use Linksys firmware.
Where else would you get firmware besides Linksys? Never new anything
outside Linksys existed until now.
Linksys got caught violating GPL, and were forced to post sources.
Multiple forks sprang up, with literally dozens of alternative
firmware sources available.
I'm recommending OpenWRT, but there are several more suitable (coming
with a rich GUI):

Maybe that explains why Linksys issued "Version Five" of their router,
with only half the RAM and EEPROM, and a proprietary "operating system."
But I digress.
I'm more interested in what one can do with OpenWRT or another
Linux-embed OS for router boxes, that one cannot do with the
factory-default OS. I've heard that one can establish VPN's with a
minimum of fuss. True? And if so, how?
