Re: Adding wireless to my network - OpenWRT?

I've been pretty happy with openwrt on the Netgear WNDR3800. It has dual band wireless (2.4 + 5), 4 x gigabit ports, or 5 if you don't need the WAN port, and seems to be able to move data between them pretty quickly. And plenty of flash and memory - I've run squid on one before (filtering proxy only - no cache). OpenWRT can set up the multiple SSID's easily too via the GUI.

Or presumably via ssh, which is how I would prefer to access it. I think it's the WNDR3800 v2 that the BufferBloat project is using for experimentation as one of their preferred devices. That (and your recommendation above) is a good reason to place it top of my list.
