When looking at routers for high noise applications, keep in mind the frequent complaints of wireless instability on routers with atheros chipsets due to a number of known and unknown driver bugs.
Both of the above routers (and it seems _most_ of the routers supporting dual band that are reasonably priced) use Atheros chipsets. See https://dev.openwrt.org/ticket/9654 for more information on Atheros bugs. When i was looking at other options, i started tracking in the following google docs spreadsheet; https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0Atc5QQQNw_5ndFNFVU5oNXdJQlFpbWsxdExORU1tN2c#gid=0 the three on that list that were not atheros were Brand Model Flash Ram CPU Mhz CPU Model Asus RT-N56U 8 128 533 RT3662 Asus RT-N16 32 128 480 BCM4718 Linksys E3200 16 64 500 BCM47186 However i'm not sure how good support is currently for the asus and linksys broadcom devices, as both of the wiki pages mention wireless problems with trunk build (could be fixed, only way is to test!): http://wiki.openwrt.org/toh/linksys/e3200 http://wiki.openwrt.org/toh/asus/rt-n16 And it seems the realtek chip is in a similar situation: http://wiki.openwrt.org/toh/asus/rt-n56u Soooooo if you find another option that has good support and isn't these chipsets, i'm interested in knowing as well :) Thanks Camden hope this helps Camden On Wed, Jul 24, 2013 at 5:05 AM, Pau <p...@dabax.net> wrote: > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- > Hash: SHA1 > > Tplink wdr4300 or wdr3600 are the more close to your requirements > according my knowledge. > > - - POE can be easy solved with POE injector/extractor > > - - It does not have two Ethernet but a configurable internal switch > which, depending on your needs, is even better (you could have 5 > different Ethernet devices from the OS point of view ) > > - - It costs less than 100$ > > On 24/07/13 13:31, Roberto Riggio wrote: > > Hi, > > > > I'm looking for a wireless router to be used with OpenWRT.
