[mdlug] OT: Wireless Router Suggestion?

[Dan Pritts]

strongly recommend you buy something that works with dd-wrt or the other alternative firmware.  

It can do whatever you want (including act as a plain AP) AND it is very stable, unlike a lot of the others i've tried.

I use an oldie but goodie linksys wrt54g as well as a newer tp-link (don't know model number but it was on sale super cheap at newegg).

I also have an asus router, RT-n15 i think, that doesn't work with dd-wrt but does have an AP-only mode.  in limited AP use it is stable enough but it was not stable as a router.
