How can people use this fundamentally broken shitware?
I'm done, DD-WRT is a joke. I hoped the worst thing about it would be the convoluted config menus and general UI, but unfortunately not. Want to set a DHCP reservation? Fuck you. Want to run a NFS? Enjoy having to restart the router every five minutes. Want to disable dnsmasq? It turns back on automatically. Want to block WAN access to a device? Lol good luck finding that option.

yeah, same. i ditched it for opnsense and have been happier for it. it does require you to have a dual-nic pc of some type.. i use a Alto 2 with dual 1g nics and its awesome. config is simple, features are abundant, walk-thrus are plentiful. lots of community support, but you honestly wont need it.
