I have installed 3 WHR-HP-G300N at a client site. BTW this is the only model that supports DD-WRT for the Indian market (I did pre purchase check with their India tech support). The default Tx power is 20 dBm. At this setting I believe it suffers from heating problem. The SSID would disappear after a few hours of operation or connection would drop. The sweet spot seems to be 15-16 dBm - lost coverage area but the units are stable. > Thing I like about these is, they are pre-loaded with DD-WRT open source > firmware. The WHR-HP-G300N imported in India comes with the "User Friendly" firmware factory installed. The CDROM has the DD-WRT firmware which can be flashed via the web interface. The version number is higher than what is available on DD-WRT web page. > Also let me know a shop where this may be available. (Tried hard. None of > those I tried had this one.) Go to Buffalo's web site and search for retailers. That is how I found Hallmark their Mumbai retailer. <http://www.buffalo-asia.com/cgi-bin/wheretobuy/retailers.cgi?country=id> > I want to buy one with USB interface for storage.

Your best bet would be to get it through some one who is doing US>India trip - you may not have any warranty on that unit. -- Arun Khan A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text.
