Anyone who's changed the firmware on a router (wired or wireless) to DD-WRT should be aware of a major security hole in them as reported here and originally discovered here.

I've only tried to update the firmware on a router once and bricked it. Took it back and said it had stopped working while I was away  ;)

Cunning, but I'm not sure why shitting yourself meant you had to take the router back  :P
