Router Advice, DD-WRT support w/ detachable antenna(s)
Posted by: fauch

My trusty Linksys WRT54G V2 finally bit the dust and I'm in the market for a new router.

The two conditions are that it MUST support DD-WRT (I need repeater bridge mode) and have detachable antenna(s).

What is the most reliable router that fits the above conditions at the best price?

I can always just get a WRT54GL but I suspect there are better options on the market.

I have one of these:

Meets both criteria. Seems to work fine.

if you get internet from the same neighbor across the street from whom you also get electricity, look into a power-line network adapter, it will be 100x more reliable.

Sorry if my guess was wrong, based on the fact that it must have detachable antenna and bridge mode sounds like you need to extend for a longer range.

I use an ASUS RTN-16 with no antennas, since it's hiding upstairs in the server room. Access points cover all my wireless needs at the office.

I can't speak for reliability, but the Asus Black Diamond is getting good reviews for range.
