This router has the ability to bridge with other wireless routers. Great for extending wireless connectivity and eliminating wires!

I also am looking for a cheaper option to run DD-WRT on. Since the Buffalo routers are next to impossible to get now I don't know what the cheapest option is these days.

You want the WRT54GL version for easiest hacking, the L = linux.

This guy is solid. I've been meaning to hack mine with DD-WRT for a while but it works so well as is that I don't want to mess with it. #9 is correct that if you want to hack the newer versions you should buy the L model. They're more expensive though - 50 or 60.

Agreed that this is a great router, it keeps holding its value and doesn't go down in price much because of its reliability and performance. I've since upgraded to a Trendnet Gigabit N (TEW-633GR) and haven't looked back - it is better in every way.

I think they are up to version 8. I have one and you can use DD-WRT on it (the micro version because it only has 2MB of memory). For me the router worked for about a year or so without any problems but now I have to restart it almost every day. I am looking for a cheap router as a backup so I can flash Linksys with DD-WRT.
