Worked great for me.

I just got Comcast Ultra and was using a Linksys WRT54GS 2.0 router, but my download speeds were capped at about 24mbits because of the CPU horsepower in that Linksys model.

Since the DIR-825 has a faster CPU I tried it out with stock 2.02NA firmware and was capped at about 10mbits, which annoyed me a lot since technically it should handle the full speed of my connection.

Once I loaded DD-WRT on the DIR-825 I was able to get the full 35mbit download speed of my new connection!

You can find more info/feedback on DD-WRT running on the DIR-825 here:
