Re: [PLUG] dd-wrt router recommendation


(I'm re-sending my prior email below with less marginal English: apologies, I shouldn't write emails on the way out the door in the morning).

It may also interest the list that the WHR-HP-G300N is available as a refurb for $35.. The difference seems to be that the WHR-HP-G300N broadcasts on 2 different frequencies and is thus true 802.11n:

It also seems you can double the speed of the WHR-HP-GN by enabling N-only wireless:
