Does anyone have recommendations for a modern wifi-router that is compatible with OpenWRT or ddwrt?
I've had it with one particular WRT54-GL that I've been maintaining. There's a bug in the b43 driver which causes the wifi to die whenever there's high load, and the suggested workaround[1] doesn't seem to work. Furthermore, the next release of OpenWRT isn't going to work on devices with 16Mb of RAM or less, anyway.
Basically, I'm after some sort of wifi router with at least four ethernet ports + one uplink port, that is well supported by OpenWRT, doesn't use b43 for its wifi interface, 64Mb RAM, preferably a lot of flash and is readily available in Australia.
I highly recomment the Netgear WNDR3800 if it's within your price range: http://wiki.openwrt.org/toh/netgear/wndr3800 If you're looking for something a bit cheaper, at work we've also had some experience using the TP-Link TL-WR1043ND: http://wiki.openwrt.org/toh/tp-link/tl-wr1043nd. The downside of this is that it doesn't support TFTP flashing, so if you brick it, you'll have to pull it apart and do some JTAG-y stuff to fix it probably.
