I&#x27;ve been using Tomato-USB on Asus hardware for several years now... the current Asus firmwares aren&#x27;t bad though the early ones were pretty horrible.  I actually prefer Tomato and similar options, I used openwrt for my home office (routerstation pro) for a few years as well.  Being able to run third party software is essential for security updates given that the manufacturers rarely offer more than 1-2 updates and almost never after the first year of a product introduction.<p>Tomato, dd-wrt, openwrt and the like allow me to control my hardware and use it for the life of the hardware, not the year of updates the mfg gives.
