OT: Router Recommendations

[Michael Butash]

Try this one:

http://homestore.cisco.com/en-us/Routers/Linksys-Refurbished-E4200-MaximumPerformance-Wirelessn-router_stcVVproductId133604734VVcatId543809VVviewprod.htm

Can't beat 90 bucks for the refurb cisco/linksys flagship e4200 model. 
Supposedly its performance is great, and can run ddwrt and tomato.  I 
almost bought a few to play with myself (rather have cash atm), still 
need to replace my aging cisco 1200's.  They have a usb port that can be 
used with tomato/ddwrt as well as openwrt packages for added functionality.

Otherwise, the Asus N16 is about a second best from what I found.
