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
- Best range using built-in antenna: Buffalo WHR-HP-G54
*note: X86 version excluded
Where to Buy
- DD-WRT onlineshop (NewMedia, MagicBox, GateWorks, Routerboard)
- MicroCom (Avila Gateworks)
- Newegg.com (Buffalo, Linksys, Asus)
- Buy.com (Buffalo, Linksys)
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.
