Hi,
unfortunately there are not many wireless routers enough that perfectly
support OpenWRT, especially 7.09 kamikaze. Netgear WGT634U is the best
one, but it's only available as a used one.
My suggestion #1: ASUS WL-500W
http://www.asus.com/products4.aspx?l1=12&l2=43&l3=0&model=1121&modelmenu=1
http://wiki.openwrt.org/OpenWrtDocs/Hardware/Asus/WL500W
http://www2.computeruniverse.net/info.asp?id=90232799&used=&idused=&sr=wl-500w
Good specification: Flash 8MB, RAM 32MB, 802.11n, 2 USB interfaces.
It's most widely used among 802.11n devices supported by OpenWRT, not by
7.09 kamikaze, but only by development versions on svn repo. So choosing
this device is for us some challenge, since we need to upgrade our
development tree to a recent version, including some debugging in hipl
sources.
If we choose this, we also need to take into account other similar
devices like Linksys WRT350N.
My suggestion #2: Linksys WRT54GS
http://www1.linksys.com/products/product.asp?grid=33&scid=35&prid=610
http://wiki.openwrt.org/OpenWrtDocs/Hardware/Linksys/WRT54GS
http://www2.computeruniverse.net/products/e90140999/linksys-wrt54seu-wireless-g-access-point.asp
Specification: Flash 8MB, RAM 32MB, but neither 802.11n nor USB interfaces.
This is a fairly safe choice, because this device is neary 100%
supported by OpenWRT from 7.09 to recent versions. We don't need to take
care of upgrading our development environment. But its specification is
worse than the first one.
Cheers,
Dongsu

Hi everyone.
We are about to buy a number of new openWRT routers. As my favorite
model (WGT634U) is not sold anymore, we need to find another openWRT
platform.
I'm asking myself whether the Fonera has enough oooomphz for our
purposes. I think I would rather use a slightly better box.
Decision criterions are: full openWRT Kamikaze support (no weird hacking
required), smooth way to get openWRT installed, much ram, nice CPU...
and it would be cool if it had USB or 802.11N capabilities... but these
not a key requirement.
Any suggestions? If no one has a favorite router that he or she thinks
is suitable we need to start investigating: Dongsu could you spend some
cycles figuring out which router would be best.
It would be great if we could order the device at a major german online
store. I prefer www.computeruniverse.com but other stores would also be
okay. I'd like to order this or next week.
Best regards,
Tobi
