There are more modern routers that are good. One problem with many more modern routers is wifi instability. There is some drama (regarding licencing and open/closed source) that makes choice of router and stability wifi a bit sketchy sometimes.
That said, it seems the best open-source driver available is for Atheros chipset routers. It does have problems, but it is actively worked on by nbd You should probably read this thread -- it has some of the discussion regarding router selection http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg02388.html I run a buffalo wzr-hp-ag300h (which is atheros) and do not have stability issues (which tend to be related to environment). There is a basically identical more modern buffalo device, but I do not know the model offhand Hope this helps!
