What is your take on 3rd-party firmware? Those projects seem like they're more actively developed and maintained. If one's hardware supported it, would you recommend a 3rd-party firmware?
EDIT: For example - https://openwrt.org/
It is definitely better than the shipping firmware. If you are going to use consumer gear, this is the route to go.
