Well, as you can see I tried to bid on two different routers here: http://www.ocforums.com/showthread.php?t=504665
3rd time's the charm apparently, I won the bid on a WRT54G Version 2 by one pennie.
Now that I have this router, I am thinking of doing a firmware upgrade to DD-WRT.
I am not sure I completely understand the risks, I assume the term "bricking" your router probably means it is non-salvageable and you might as well use it as a door stop?
If I do DD-WRT, what are the risks that something could go wrong and completely screw up my router to this extent and what type of things would cause this to happen?
If it is fairly risky I will probably hold off considering I don't want to turn my brand new router into a piece of crap right after buying it.
