I am using the same router you are, Asus WL-520gU (I haven't put mini-usb on it since I haven't had a need to use the USB port).
Regarding the DD-WRT security hole, if you don't want to upgrade just yet for some reason, it can also be addressed with a firewall rule, as seen on the DD-WRT homepage.
Thanks to those who have weighed in on this. I am leaning towards re-enabling the firewall and forwarding the necessary ports, but will have to do some testing for that.
