== DD-WRT ==Linux based firmware that provides immense improvement to consumer routers.  DD-WRT is said to have the most options of any alternative firmware for WiFi devices (as of 2015.) It does the most, however, it also seems to be the most buggy.* Open Source== Tomato ==Linux based firmware that extends the functionality of consumer routers.  Less buggy than DD-WRT.  Does less than DD-WRT.  Tomato has a simple, graphically rich interface, making it easy for even beginners.  Tomato is known to support some hardware that DD-WRT doesn't.  Tomato has features missing from DD-WRT like graphic traffic reports- real-time traffic monitoring, with graphic charts.  Tomato features a new easy to use GUI, a new bandwidth usage monitor, more advanced QOS and access restrictions, enables new wireless features such as WDS and wireless client modes, raises the limits on maximum connections for P2P, allows you to run your custom scripts or telnet/ssh in and do all sorts of things like re-program the SES/AOSS button, adds wireless site survey to see your wifi neighbors, and more.
