[TriLUG] Wi-Fi Router Recommendation

[Igor Partola]

This question seems to come up quite often...

I have been using a Buffalo WZR-HP-G300NH2 for about a year now. It is a
powerful single-band router and for the money I think it's a good value.
There are several negatives:

1. I had to compile the kernel modules for ip6tables myself, as they did
not come with the compatible version of DD-WRT. I hear OpenWRT has much
better support for this.

2. The antennae are not removable, so you can't get higher gain ones.

One the plus side are things like lots of RAM, easy DD-WRT installation (it
ships with a Buffalo version of DD-WRT), and a USB port usable for both
storage and printing.

I have been curious about the MIKROTIK routers for a while as well. It
seems as though they have a much more polished but still very open OS.
