+1. I'm running a Mikrotik 450G, and after a few hours of initial futzing
to get OpenWRT built and flashed it's been remarkably reliable. Haven't had
any reliability issues in 12 months, except for the time I locked myself
out of SSH after messing up a firewall rule.

It's a lot less painful diagnosing problems in a home network if you can
just hop into the router and run top and tcpdump.
