Question about ASUS 500gP v2 router firmware (dd-wrt and others)?

Question

ASUS

Good afternoon!
Tell me who set it up - I got confused in various firmware :-)
At the moment I know:
1) native from ASUS for this router
1) DD-WRT
2) ASUS firmware based on DD-WRT
3) "Enthusiasts"
4) Oleg
What I want to? connect a screw via USB, raise OpenVPN, download content / torrrent (transmission), share storage over the network (samba), a small web server outside (but you can do without it)
Which of these is better to install in order to work stably and normally?
Hands grow from there, I know the nixes, but I really don’t want to mess around - there is not enough time.
DD-WRT is also confusing - that it is in BETA status for my router, and most importantly - in order to put everything I wrote, you need to put MEGA - and there is a lot of everything that is not needed, or does it not interfere?
Many thanks in advance for your replies.

Answer 1

Oleg, frankly, is already outdated, it was on its basis that the firmware of "Enthusiasts" was made.
In general, WL500gP v2 doesn't hold torrents very well, it will stutter :) Keep that in mind.
I myself used the firmware from enthusiasts, according to the tutorial from wl500g.info. In general, I set it up and forgot it once :)
Now there is another router (ASUS N16), I put TomatoUSB there, I'm very pleased with it, it also seems to be under wl500gpv2.

Answer 2

If you have OpenWRT, install it. If not, then from enthusiasts.

Answer 3

I have been using this router for 2.5 years on firmware from enthusiasts. For all the time there were no problems. Works surprisingly stable.
I tried to install dd-wrt - I didn’t like it because the router started freezing on it, even when working without additional load (just like a switch + wi-fi access point), rolled back to “enthusiasts”.

Answer 4

I use TomatoUSB on RT-N16. Satisfied.
Suits all your requirements.
