I bought the Buffalo N300 not long ago: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00IB8IVDQ/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 https://www.amazon.com/gp/prod

I bought the Buffalo N300 not long ago: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00IB8IVDQ/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00IB8IVDQ/ref=oh_aui_deta... I've been extremely happy with this purchase, admittedly I'm a bit of a high-demand user (I host a number of minor services for myself and friends including TeamSpeak, minecraft, as well as operating two Xbox Ones) so I needed something with good port forwarding support and UPNP. Rock solid, straight DD-WRT interface with minor branding, shell access, and monitoring support. This router's been an absolute champ and I'd recommend it to anyone.

I'll second Buffalo. I have the N600 [0], and I'm pretty happy with it. I started with the built-in DD-WRT firmware, installed OpenWRT soon after, and recently moved to LEDE, without any issues. I don't really use many advanced features, but I find it's really stable. One really nice thing I appreciate is dnsmasq. It puts your DHCP entries on the local DNS, so you can access your machines by their hostnames via straight DNS, no WINS or Bonjour needed.

Another N300 user here, very happy with it! No problems at all, and I've gotten work to start using them as our low-cost multipurpose routers in a pinch(they can openvpn!).

I've stuck with buffalo for the last ... 6-8 years, and I have yet to see any of my buffalo routers need a restart, let alone die permanently. Coming with (a customized) DD-WRT out of the box is just a bonus, at that point. They may not have the greatest wifi range in the world, but I haven't found a router to beat them at stability.

Clarification: I have no idea on the WiFi quality, I use an Airport Extreme in bridge mode behind it for Wifi. This serves 8 physical hosts and 6 virtuals over gigabit without fail, however, plus all the activity on the Wifi network.
