Ask HN: Best current model routers for OpenWRT, DD-WRT, Tomato, etc.?
My advice is to just avoid DD-WRT altogether. The community is so hostile and unhelpful, the site and wiki full of conflicting information, and almost all builds for anything besides the old Linksys gear is in a real unstable state. It seems almost inevitable that DD-WRT will just result in bricking your router and having some forum asshole mock you for it.<p>I'm running Merlin's AsusWrt on an RT-AC66U and I've been very happy with it. I bought it earlier this year to replace my aging WRT54GL which had run with Tomato for years.<p>I'm also a fan of OpenWrt, but I use the x86 build on a VM host, it acts as a router/firewall to other VMs in a private bridge.
