Note there are several Tomato firmware out there. Since that router has USD you probably want a version that supports it.
A discussion on various versions of the firmware:

thanks so much for the links. Router should arrive soon. One question I have about the firmware...is the performance boost only good for a wireless obi to router connection or will the firmware also help if the obi is directly wired to the router. I am experiencing some choppy calls on my old modem so I am hoping this router will improve call quality.

rsnyc,
A wired connection is always better when available. Voip is well within wireless abilities to deliver. Let us know your results.
PS
brush up on the QOS settings. That's the first thing you will need to set up if you want to manage users internet activity over the lan. If your internet is only used for voip you may not need to set up QOS.
You might hear someone in the house complaining "ANYONE DOWNLOADING ANYTHING OFF BIT TORRENT, OR WATCHING YOU TUBE, TURN IT OFF, I'M ON THE PHONE!!!"
ipse:
My 2 cents (unsolicited :) )
I have a Linksys E4200 v1 with Tomato Shibby and NEVER had any issues with VoIP suffering when I download anything...Strong QoS makes any router worth 10x its value when running Tomato, DD-WRT or similar.
While any router will do for Obi connectivity, being able to set QoS rules is a must. Most manufacturer firmwares suffer from poor QoS implementation, hence my recommendation for Open Source.
Ostracus:
Some think Gargoyle has a good QOS implementation. ;)
