Please report back (at least to me if not the list). I've got the same
router (never touched the firmware so it's got whatever it came with)
but have been toying with using the sveasoft firmware since it
supports QoS which I'd like to use with my voip service. I'm currently
using a Coyote software router but this would probably reduce
electricity usage.
