I was very interested in the fact that you, too, were having issues regarding DD-WRT.
I'm glad finally someone else had the courage to say what I've always thought - and said - on their forums:
"...the confusing and poorly documented DD-WRT GUI..."
This is now DD-WRT to a tee. They have grown so big they've lost their roots, and don't care anymore about the end user. I remember using it back in the day with my WRT54G. It was solid, had lots of support in the forums, and was an asset. Nowadays, the builds crash, have poor performance, and the forums are extremely hostile with "experts" that expect you to read documentation on the web that has nothing to do with how DD-WRT implements it's GUI version. Instead they send you to MAN pages for command-line code - which completely battles the GUI implementation depending on what's selected and used.
I'm very fed up with DD-WRT the past 6-12 months or so - and the only reason I use it these days is because of the fact that I set static IPs for the DHCP server to use. It's easy to copy-paste the configs (after I figured out, by myself) so that you don't have to spend hours retyping it all into the GUI.
Anyway, my rant over. Not that it's good, but it's nice to see I wasn't the only one having issues with the firmware.
