They are definitely using an old version of dd-wrt, the tab is now VPN, not OpenVPN.
Upgrade your router first, see the link in my signature. I am currently running 35452 on my WDR3600. Don't expect a VPN speed though, ~20MiB/s would be my guess. _________________ Before asking a question on the forums, update dd-wrt: Where do I download firmware? I suggest reading it all.

Thanks for the help! I flashed the router & will look through the tuts. Any one in particular I should be following?
Maybe you can advise further?
I have Uverse service at home and a NAS setup as well.
I'd like to stream video & audio from my NAS outside the home, eventually, but thought the first step should be getting a router setup with VPN.
Do you think this router is too slow to accomplish something like this? Is trying to run through a VPN at all just going to be too slow?

Yes, this router is too slow for a NAS + VPN setup. I would not expect it to be able to handle even a 1080p video without lag over VPN. If you are OK with ~20MiB/s download and upload speed, through the VPN, then by all means the router will do fine. Don't expect much more than that though, 50MiB/s through a VPN is not possible on that router.
Most will suggest Netgear R7800. Don't get a Linksys, just an extra hassle now.
Dual-core, Atheros chipset.
Check the wikidevi page for it: https://wikidevi.com/wiki/Main_Page
And check a recent build thread if anybody is using one.
Also, it is a good idea to check the ftp site (see my signature for links) to verify that the router is supported. _________________ Before asking a question on the forums, update dd-wrt: Where do I download firmware? I suggest reading it all.

I went ahead and picked up the Netgear router used on ebay. DD-WRT was already flashed to it, r29695M. It's a little difficult to figure out how to navigate the forums efficiently, so I thought I'd ask what's the current "working" build for this router.
I went to the thread indicated on the wikidevi page, but with the kong builds, etc. (even though I've read through the stuff linked in your signature), it can be a little overwhelming. Just trying not to brick my router!
