<br></div>Since we actually have the option now, I recommend buying a router that actually advertises support for ddwrt, or another open source firmware versus one that is purely community supported. Not a criticism of the community, but "voting with your wallet" is important. The Asus in question might fit that bill. Personally, I've converted to Buffalo because their build quality seems good, and they advertise "DD-WRT" on the box, saving me the time of having to do wiki searches on my phone.<br>
