I'll second that. I run a Buffalo Nfiniti WZR-HP-G300NH with openwrt |
| 33 |
installed. It is VLAN capable and has Gigabyte ethernet and b/g/n wifi. |
| 34 |
It also has a USB socket for extra disk storage if needed (or any other |
| 35 |
peripheral you fancy). It just sits in the corner and does its job. It |
| 36 |
is also very cheap. |
