I have the 350N flashed with DD-WRT and it's been up for 182 days now without any trouble. That's what I call a damn good router.

I have a netgear 802.11b router from 1998 that's been up for 3,172 days.

Now that's what I call lucky.

this sounds like a good deal.

DD-WRT is great to flash to these.
Now I dont really agree with the 12x the range but I bought another and made it a repeater.

*Yes I did adjust the transmitter power but it wasnt giving me the "blinding speed" I needed. The repeater fixed that

Is this device truly DD-WRT compatible? According to the site's list of supported devices it says that there is a device needed for port and to PM one of the admins.

Should be fully supported

#7 from your link "(As of July, 2007) WRT300N version 1.1 or 2 is NOT supported."

Hmm.. I have DD-WRT on my linksys.. Considering DD-WRT is the same software, is it worth upgrading the router? Or using this as my main, and LinkSys as a repeater.. Interesting...

3 things:

1. This model the RM will work with DD-WRT so posters are claiming via a google search

2. This doesn't look like it has Dual Radio so you either go all N or all G. If you have a mix the wireless will drop down to G when it detects a G signal.
3. 10/100 no gigabit.

Should we be worried about it being refurbished?

does the antenna rotate when powered?

I bought one of these just over a month ago. I WOULD NOT BUY AGAIN! I have spent countless hours with Linksys trying to get it to work. When I finally did the signal was so poor it hardly works. The wireless PC I have is in the next bedroom and the signal passes through and open doorway. Mine was a piece of garbage. DO NOT BUY - READ REVIEWS ON BUY.COM & SEE.
