I'm a fan of the TP-Link TL-WR940N, so much that I have recommend it to
everyone I know. I have three of them in various locations (home, farm,
and HackLab.TO).

It's base software is amazing and works great out of the box.

I haven't run OpenWRT (an active fork of dd-wrt) on it but I know Scott
Sullivan has and he's really smart about this type of stuff.

It cost $39.99 on NewEgg <https://myl.be/15a> (this is a short link to
the NewEgg website).


Myles, how's the range on this one?  I have an older ASUS that does a good job hitting all four floors (100+ years old Victorian) for the most part, but it's starting to show it's age.
