I am wondering whether DD-WRT might support it...

I would love the answer to this also, I was just looking at that router, but have concerns with how complicated everything I read says it is to setup and manage (read, openwrt is harder than dd-wrt).

I have setup dd-wrt on a few nighthawks, but have a client who needs a secure router. I was hoping to setup dd-wrt with access for me to remotely manager the router. This router seemed like a good option.

Anyone know if these openwrt routers can be blessed with DDWRT
