Yep. Our family still makes do with a WRT 54GS v5. A carefully configured DD-WRT installation (man, I did a ton of reading for that :) and memory expanded to 16 MB. Works fairly well, even for single-person Zoom calls and our son's gaming in Minecraft servers (+ Discord blabbering). As for DD-WRT, my favorite setting is the timer for turning wifi off for the night, and a scheduled restart each morning. I also set the signal strength to as low as I could. This way, the router has been running with no issues whatsoever, maintaining a very stable download rate -- so it sure does make sense to dig in the DD-WRT (or OpenWRT) documentation and wikis. I admit being somewhat attached to old-but-excellent hardware in general, though, so there's that.
