Hello,
I just today lost my Linksys WRT350N router I had DD-WRT installed on and running my network with Static DHCP leasing.
I'm looking for another wireless, dual-band N router to replace the failed WRT350N.
I was going to purchase another Apple Router (I have one currently serving wireless clients as it's N was the best thing at the time) and use it to be my main router, however it does not have "DD-WRT"-like capability, nor does it have an SPI.
First question:
How important is an SPI firewall?
The next router I was looking at was the E4200. It currently has a major issue regarding the 2.4 GHz network (which I was going to put it on as a G wireless server) becoming bogged down because it's on the same CPU as the router. So that concerns me.
I guess I'm looking for the best all-around router right now.
I have my Apple router to serve up as an AP for 2.4/5 N clients. I would like the new router to have dual-band N capability as well, but it will more than likely be serving only the G clients at this time unless it's 2.4/5 N is stronger, then I will switch the Apple and the router around in wireless duties.
I must have a gigabit switch on the router, and would prefer a gigabit WAN as well.
I really would like to have DD-WRT ability on the router as I find it much easier to replace routers since I can just load up the same version of DD-WRT and load in the settings. Makes things quick and easy.
I am open to using another Apple router as it seems pretty fast regarding the reviews here, and I'm sure by now they've fixed the antenna issues that I read about.
Any other ideas are greatly appreciated. I have had very bad luck with D-Link, so I prefer not to fund their business.
Thank you.
