I have a Buffalo Dual Band Nfinity WZR-HP-AG300H-EU. Works well, DD-WRT (so dnsmasq etc). Only real issue I have with it is that it isn't possible to separate wired traffic (e.g. port 1 for untrusted [TV], port 2 for work, ports 3 & 4 for home). There may alse be a compatibility issue with OS X (Safari hangs - but the MBP is suspect). GNU/Linux and Windows work perfecly. That may or may not be an issues for you.
About £70, I think there's a new version out too. Also...surge protectors! :-) On 8 December 2013 22:16, John Gordon Ollason <j...@houseofdeer.co.uk>wrote: > I have a small domestic network comprising my linux box (wired), my wife's > PC (wireless), an Iyonix (a computer that nobody has ever heard of) > (wired), the tv (wired) a RaspberryPi (wired), and a network printer > (wireless).
