I've been using an old Netgear WiFi router for over ten years,
although with OpenWrt installed and I don't remember what the
factory firmware was like.

Though I did look at upgrading to another Netgear model once and
the OpenWrt Wiki conveniently pointed out that it had a pretty
fatal overheating problem, so it's hit and miss with them. Some
apparantly different routers share very similar internal designs
to Netgear ones too, as OpenWrt users who've pulled them apart have
discovered.
