I run DDWRT v23 on my Buffalo WHR-HP-G54, and aside from my XBOX thinking that NAT isn't open when it is, the stuff works great. Incredible firmware, used to run it on my WRT54G before the unit died after 5 solid years of service.
I wonder if you'll still be able to increase your radio's transmit power in the commercial version, might piss off the FCC. Running mine at 125mw is the only way it'll reach the whole house / yard!
For your Xbox, have you tried placing it in the DMZ? I had problems putting it in the DMZ with v23 (it would work for a while and after a month or two the Xbox would report moderate NAT again). However, it seems to be working fine since v24 RC3, I suggest you try it.
i have 3 xbox 360s and i was wonderig if put all there ips in the dmz would i still be able to prioritize the traffic to them? i do a lot of p2p and the only thing that works well is my dlink gaming router.. but unfortunally that router doesn't have the functionallity of ddwrt.. and does this pre installed ddwrt router have decent hardware for massive p2p and gaming ?

Like DWells55 said above, putting your Xboxs' IP address in the DMZ works quite well.
I had some connection issues (dropped connection, etc.). Once I popped it in the DMZ, it was smooth sailing.
Can't - I run several servers through this connection that must be addressable from outside the network.
I haven't tried just plain old port forwarding though, I'll look into that when I get home.

For this model you can't push it past 85mW, or else you'll burn its built-in amplifier.
