[lug] New to BLUG router question

[Scott Kruger]

Are you running dd-wrt on it?  I've heard one of the advantages of 
Ubiquiti is that they push updates more frequent updates of their 
firmware than the more consumer-oriented companies (linksys, netgear).

Security is one of the issues that has kept me away from dd-wrt but I 
don't know if that is an unfounded fear.
