Which routers do you prefer for DD-WRT or OpenWRT? [closed]

I'm aware of the giant Supported Devices list. I'm wondering which ones you all prefer (e.g., support for Mega install, cheap, reliable hardware, USB port, etc.)

I've had great success with the WRT54GL v1.1 devices, as they have plenty of power for all of DD-WRT's advanced functions, and from what I've seen, run rock-solid for years on end. They require a mini (or micro) version of DD-WRT to first raise the allowed firmware size, followed by the full DD-WRT flash. While they can be a little pricier than other routers by a few dollars, the excellent performance and stability they afford can't be beat.

"I have set up about ~15 Buffalo WHR-HP-G54, 5 in a mesh network at my old workplace, 3 for WiFi client bridges and the rest as standalone routers for home, family and friends, all running DD-WRT.

It is not the most feature-packed router, but it's cheap and reliable and works very well with DD-WRT. All the networks I've done with them are effectively fire-and-forget. Never goes down or requires restarts, and the coverage is quite good for 802.11g when you boost the transmitter power (Default is 70mW, DD-WRT lets you boost it to 254, although I've only tried it with 100mW, since that is the highest radio transmitter strength allowed in Denmark without a special permit).

Buffalo actually ended up entering a partnership with DD-WRT, so WHR-HP-G54DD actually ships with DD-WRT installed, but I've never had one of those."

"If you're looking for an 802.11n router, the WRT300n has worked well for me. I think the 350n may also work.

The dd-wrt page says that the firmware versions of these routers may cause issues so you should probably check into that if you get one of these."

I like the Asus wl-520gU because it has a USB port and is usually cheaper than the WRT54GL, so you can run a print server with dd-wrt and presumably openwrt as well.

"I've used OpenWRT quite successfully on a Linksys WRT54G (v3).

The new feature in OpenWRT Kamikaze that allows you to start the machine in a ""failsafe/fallback"" mode (press the hardware reset button on boot) has been invaluable."
