Cheap and I didn't expect much but it works great (far > better than any Linksys or trendnet products I've purchased and run > their firmware on.) I'll second that. I run a Buffalo Nfiniti WZR-HP-G300NH with openwrt installed. It is VLAN capable and has Gigabyte ethernet and b/g/n wifi. It also has a USB socket for extra disk storage if needed (or any other peripheral you fancy). It just sits in the corner and does its job. It is also very cheap. -- Regards, Gregory.
