nathan: and a higher price

I just like the WRT54GL's but I do hear good things about the Asus N16 too

I don't really care for the faster wireless as all my media consuming PCs and devices are wired on gigabit and the 54GL is more than fast enough to keep up with my Internet connection

I have 2 WRT54GLs at home, one bridged into ADSL and then another one connected to the first doing a VPN to US     


The problem with recommending a WRT54GL today is it only has 200mhz cpu and 4MB flash, it will be likely be bottleneck for higher throughput connections than ADSL2+ eg: VDSL2 and FTTN, 100Mbit cable etc.

"Create a society that values material things above all else. Strip it of industry. Raise taxes for the poor and reduce them for the rich and for corporations. Prop up failed financial institutions with public money. Ask for more tax, while vastly reducing public services. Put adverts everywhere, regardless of people's ability to afford the things they advertise. Allow the cost of food and housing to eclipse people's ability to pay for them. Light blue touch paper." — Andrew Maxwell

I'm currently a fan of Ubiquiti gear - I would recommend the Ubiquiti AirRouter.
Believe it can run OpenWRT but the Ubiquiti firmware would do everything you need and save the mucking around.
802.11n so nice and fast

$83 from Go Wireless
