I have a D-Link DIR-655 (which is on this list) as my home router. Ironically, I was going to replace it a few months ago, but the speed is still fast enough for my network. A few posts mentioned installing a different (open source) firmware. But, both OpenWrt and DD-Wrt aren't compatible. Am I missing another option? As an aside, can anyone recommend a wifi router that runs either OpenWrt or DD-Wrt well, for $100-$150?

You aren't missing another option. The 655 is based on an exotic architecture (Ubicom32) that never had the specs released for it to develop 3rd party firmware. Its why I trashed my 655 years ago.
