Ask Slashdot: DD-WRT Upgrade To 802.11n?

First time accepted submitter krinderlin writes "My home network consists of a Linksys WRT54GL for WAN access and a WRT54G version 8 for a wireless bridge for my Blu-Ray and old XBox 360*. Due to a recent move and coaxial jack placements, I can't run Ethernet to the office, so I'm now looking at about 8 wireless clients at any given time. I'd like to start piecing together a network upgrade to 802.11n, but want to keep the flexibility and power of DD-WRT. So what 802.11n routers do you have with DD-WRT? What would you recommend for PCIe x1 and USB adapters? *Because $100 for a 802.11g adapter is pure insanity."

Great experience with Asus RT-N16

Quite a powerful router, I use it heavily for my VPN. It also allows you to upgrade to DD-WRT right through their interface.

It should be noted right away that the RT-N16 is only a single-band router, which could be make or break for many people. I use one, the thing is designed for custom firmware. But if you have to use the stock firmware for more than an hour, submitter would go insane.
