[Leaplist] advice on wifi router please

[Kyle Gonzales]

Andrei,

When choosing a home wireless router, you may want to look for one that
works well with OpenWRT (a Linux distro for embedded devices, like the
small home routers).  With you running Linux on all of your home
systems, you might as well run it on your router as well!

Here is a link to the OpenWRT website: http://openwrt.org/

If you are interested in the various devices that work with OpenWRT, you
can see here:  http://wiki.openwrt.org/TableOfHardware

As you can tell from the list, Linksys is one of the best supported
device manufacturers for this distro.

I recently installed OpenWRT myself last week.  I have a Linksys WRT54GS
v2.1 wireless router, and it works flawlessly so far on there.  I wrote
up my experience with installing OpenWRT here:

I hope this helps!
