Is anyone here using a Linksys Router with a modified firmware?
Any good? Any reccomendations?

Yes.
Make sure you have WRT4G v.4 or below if it says v.5 anywhere you got a problem.
I have messed around with a couple of firmware's, bricked my router and unbricked it a couple of times
After my personal experience I'd go with the DD-WRT firmware available at www.dd-wrt.com

Hi
I use dd-wrt on mine. I reckon it's the best "easy" firmware. I was using Freeman (hacked/free version of Sveasoft Talisman) but dd-wrt has added a lot and now has even more features than it. Other than that if you really like doing everything yourself theres OpenWRT or Freifunk (OpenWRT with a web interface).
As for the hardware, get WRT54G versions 2,3 or 4. The version 5 doesn't let you load custom firmwares but there's a WRT54GL. The L means you can load custom firmware basically.

Freifunk has actually got a really nice web interface, so its not that difficult to manage. However the OSLR plugins and other such items which are included with Freifunk are more more a mesh type network, so if you dont need these capabilities then go for something like dd-wrt.
