My ASUS WL-500g running an OpenWRT snapshot from some time ago is quite stable and works very well. Compared to my former Draytek router it comes with the following features:

• Availability: it does not reboot under high load, thus I have a quite available internet connection
• Security: I have the full power of IPTables to secure my network
• IPv6: It takes care of my IPv6 tunnel for my whole network which is a great feature
• etc. etc.

So, as you can see, investing 80 € into a new router was a really good idea.
