I can only see them for £39.30 :(

Has anyone tried loading dd-wrt onto one of these units? I'm looking to move
away from my crappy Siemens SE587 Tiscali wireless router to something that
supports more features - particularly being able to set aside a certain
amount of bandwidth for a certain IP address (specifically my machine
playing online FPS). How about OpenWRT?

Cheers,

Stuart.
