Critical vulnerabilities in numerous ASUS routers

I've got TomatoUSB on my Asus router. EXCEPTIONALLY powerful and stable firmware with great wireless coverage. This past weekend, pardon my humblebrag, I was able to segregate my network into separate VLANs for the home LAN, guest wireless, and a DMZ for my servers, with appropriate access ACLs (via iptables) for each. I feel very secure with this firmware, far moreso than with the Asus stock one that's for sure!

I'd recommend http://tomato.groov.pl/ running it on a RT-N66U, it's brilliant

Thinking about doing something similar, would you care to do a writeup? I'm deeply scared of iptables.

I second Tomato. It has done me no wrong on my 4+ year old AP

Tomato is excellent.

I'll note that there is https://code.google.com/p/rt-n56u/ as well, though I know nothing about except what I read there.

I also heard that earlier ASUS routers had awful UIs and that they licensed Tomato from Polarcloud ... but I see no evidence of that (yet).
