Hey, just so you know ... this post is now about 16 years and 8 months old. Please keep that in mind as it very well may contain broken links and/or outdated information.

I recently bricked my Linksys WRT54GS router while playing around with the DD-WRT firmware (it wasn’t DD-WRT’s fault … the v6 router I had was one of the “crippled” ones with less NVRAM running VxWorks so it was a risky undertaking to begin with). I really like the DD-WRT firmware, so I went shopping for a new router with that (and the fact that I’m done playing the hardware version release game with Cisco/Linksys) in mind.

I selected the Buffalo WHR-HP-G54 Wireless-G MIMO Performance Broadband Router and Access Point (listed as the router with the “best range” on the DD-WRT wiki). It was quite easy to set up, using the supplied CD, but as soon as I confirmed it was working I re-flashed it with DD-WRT. So far, so good.
