Those claiming to be power users with cheap stock routers should try hosting a server with a couple of thousand users and see how their router can handle the load.

That's true, and a consumer class router doesn't always offer certain basic protection.

I once found a customer's Terminal Server had been compromised for months.

I had enough time that day to clean out the crap and strengthen the passwords.
That night, it was penetrated again. Likely from the same exploit that took it out the first time.

Most of the malicious traffic was coming from Russia.
I put pfSense on a PIII 1.2 GHz notebook along w/ Country IP Block and shut out 3389 to all but the US.
It wasn't the final solution, but it did stop the bleeding.

I could have tried loading up most of the world's CIDRs into DD-WRT's IP Tables.
I think you can guess what that would have done to it's 8MB memory.
