Recently, I converted to a Buffalo WZR-HP-AG300H, going for similar
specs as you requested. AFAIK, it has the largest memory of any router
supported by OpenWRT (32+128 MB). I don't actually need that much, just
under 10 MB, but that rules out the majority of the OpenWRT hardware
list.

As with many abgn routers, you have to accept it is no supported in any
release yet. It only runs with a trunk snapshot. Which works nicely for
me.

Only quibble: it has very dim LEDs, so you can't even see if it is
turned on from a distance. :-(

Another abgn router with a large memory that is supported in 10.03.1 is
the Netgear WNDR3700 *v2*. I had a v1 before the Buffalo, and it was a
very nice piece of hardware. With *bright* LEDs ;-) The WNDR3800 seems
to be a newer version of this series, and it is also supported by
10.03.1.

HTH,
