Current Top-Ranked Routers
- Cheapest: Buffalo WHR-G54S
- Fastest DD-WRT Performance*: Avila Gateworks GW2348-4
- Most memory: Routerboard 532A or Avila Gateworks GW2348-4
- Most flexible options (antennas, external storage, etc): Routerboard 532A

*note: X86 version excluded
Comparison Table
- this table is a work-in-progress and likely contains errors and omisions, please update it as needed
- note: due to the huge array of variations in Linskys hardware supported, I have consolidated the specs for the Linksys WRT-models. If you would like to see the intricate details of the various versions of Linksys hardware, please refer to this OpenWRT Wiki page which has additional details.

If your router is not on the list, but you have tested it successfully with DD-WRT, then please don't hesistate to add it to the page. Include specific versions of router/DD-WRT tested.
Various other brands and models have been mentioned as supported by BrainSlayer and others in the fora. However, it's not clear (to me) if any of the readily available images will boot on those models, or if you have to ask Brainslayer for them directly, or if you have to grab the sources and build versions yourself.
Almost all the above wireless routers have at least 4MB of flash memory. All the WRT54GS models prior to the v4.0 have 8MB of flash. Many other routers (including v5.0 of the WRT54G and WRT54GS) have only 2MB of flash memory. The "full" and "mini" versions of DD-WRT requires 4MB to install; the "micro" version requires 2MB.
See also Known incompatible devices for the black list.
Note on devices with 2MB Flash like WRTG(S) >= v5
If you have a device with only 2MB Flash memory only the micro version is supported. It is stripped down to the basic stuff, practically there is no way for a standard user to add stuff that is not already in there. For all Windows user out there which have got no experience with Linux or have maybe just installed SuSe and think now they are geeks: THERE IS NO WAY. Avoid buying those devices.
Note on DUAL/MULTI Wan routers
Please note that if you intend to use your router as a DUAL/MULTI Wan router, do additional research before you purchase the router. For Example, the WZR-RS-G54 does not support DUAL Wan due to the type of Switch installed in the router.
