I am a bit new to this, what advantges would openwrt and so forth give me?
You end up with a router that will be mostly running Free Software which means you can add extra packages for increased functionality and hackability. This could well help you overcome limitations in vendor supplied firmwares and keep the hardware more useful for a longer period of time. Not to mention that you can turn a £40 router into something that has the capabilities of a commercial router that might cost hundreds of pounds.
Of course, you might just opt to keep the vendor firmware on there, but at least it gives you the potential for more choice in the future.

So for the most part, what router would you recommend?
