After a lot of testing and research years ago, I decided on the Linksys WRT54G router for my remote users. It was the most reliable router at the time and we have few problems with them. We switched to the WRT54GL when Linksys neutered their WRT54G, but we do have WRT54G's as old as v2 out there - about 300+ total routers. We use the stock Linksys firmware on most of them, and DD-WRT on a few special cases.
It's time to revisit our standard and I am interested in looking at something with a faster processor and 802.11n support. Because of the amount we buy, I would prefer to stick with a commonly available brand, like Linksys, Netgear, Belkin or Buffalo Tech.
My requirements:
1) Inexpensive, similar in price to the WRT54GL (under $80)
2) Very reliable with the stock manufacturer's firmware
3) Capable of supporting DD-WRT if necessary
4) Faster processor than the current WRT54GL for higher broadband speeds
5) 802.11n draft support
So, which firewalls should I consider? What is the best pick these days?
