>i actually prefer to run Tomato, but archer c7 is not broadcom :( Not being Broadcom is a very good thing.

  reading more about it, you're right. i always figured that since broadcom was so widely supported by multiple aftermarket firmwares, that it was the most mod-friendly. guess it was just the most throughly reversed :/

    Broadcom is absolutely the worst, because it's the most open-source-unfriendly. It's only had a lot of reverse-engineering attention because it's so ubiquitous (not just for routers, but for laptops too), but it's all no thanks to Broadcom. Atheros and Intel I believe both have good open-source support.
