I would not put DD-WRT on a v5. It's the first rev that used VXWorks instead of Linux, and actually I'm quite surprised it's still working at all! It was a BAD router.

I would buy a new "N" router - Asus is the new Linksys, so to speak. I would also upgrade your wireless adapters to "N" if they aren't already so.
