Besides adding gobs of features, the open firmware I've used (mostly openwrt, dd-wrt, Tomato) make crap routers much more stable. When a customer starts calling about power-cycling their crap I always take a pre-flashed router as a quick swap. Saves gobs of wasted time dealing with factory linksys/netgear/dlink. Those things are not the kind of job security I enjoy.
