As said I have never installed DD WRT but I assume the procedure will be similar to installing TomatoUSB.

I agree it does seem daunting but the first time only took around 10 minutes.

I did however make a mistake as the last operation in the sequence was to reset the router and, in my ignorance, I used the reset button when I should have used an 'erase all data in NVRAM' option. The result was that, after a short while, Port Forwarding became unavailable. Just doing the NVRAM thing restored things back to normal.

Also with the Asus router there are options to recover your original firmware. I would be surprised if TP Link are any different.

Greetings earthlings.

I've managed to get the router to work. I had some help from my girlfriends brother. I cant exactly remember what we did but it works now The speeds are the same though which is annoying.

Do I risk it all and install DD WRT and possible ruin everything?!!

Stay tuned for next weeks show

no. if you can just about get your head around the factory software you'll just go loopy with the advanced DD WRT. I'm not ashamed to say it did my heading at first too so you know, if it aint broke don't try fix it.
