I'm running DD-WRT on my DIR-632, reasonably happily.

Regrettably, it has never become supported by OpenWRT
   http://wiki.openwrt.org/toh/d-link/dir-632
While there have been attempts at alpha "releases", there weren't enough
interested to get it up to scratch.

There are some "functional" analyses that try to explain why OpenWRT is
"better" than DD-WRT (e.g. - <

There's a bif a natural "dd-wrt is older and has more crufty stuff in it"
issue that is merely a chronological artifact.

Looking at it organizationally, OpenWRT is an SPI organization (e.g. - a
not-for-profit alongside such other well-known ones as Debian, PostgreSQL,
LibreOffice, and such), whereas DD-WRT is a private organization that does
some "dueling licensing" and such, and it looks like the owners would be
willing to do proprietary things with Their Code if it seemed attractive to
do so.  (They seem to sell traditional "proprietary" licenses to DD-WRT.)

I'd be willing to pay a bit more for a router that runs OpenWRT perfectly.
Not so much that I'd burn my DIR-632 and start over, mind you ;-), when
it's working fine for me.
