DD-WRT is better.

I have used computer for a very long time and have never setup a router before so I'm going to get into it and hopefully I can learn how to secure my PC/connection.

I'm planning to setup VPN so I can access it from my mobile device far away from home. Which router should i get? Wired or wireless?

 

How many computers do you have? Are some wireless and some arent? Will you be moving around and using the net with a laptop or something?
