I was just doing some research in the past days for linux/bsd based router (I need it for OpenVPN), and i found:
- some lowcost TP-link wifi routers that can use openwrt / ddwrt like the one you used [1]
- a Buffalo router that seems to ship already with ddwrt, and of course you can upgrade it too to newer versions [2]
- the Miktrotik Routerboard devices, really lowcost but runs a modified linux os so I dont think they're ok for you (afaik you can just do some scripting) [3]
- many appliances that can run pfsense but are not so cheap[4]
I'm still tryin to understand, if I choose a wrt solution, what's best between openwrt and ddwrt (it seems there are sometimes problem with wifi not working etc..)

- joshu 15y agoMain difference is cli vs web, really. What are you tying to build? You might try a routerstation (pretty buff for a router) or even PCEngines Alix (which is x86 geode based and has a LOT more ram and uses CF for storage.)
- Ecio78 15y agoI need a VPN endpoint for a small office (max 3 users), unfortunately I must put it behind another router that allows only tcp/udp port forwarding, so I cant use pptp or ipsec. I'm thinkin about using one of the above solution as an OpenVPN appliance.
- joshu 15y agoCheck into a PCEngines ALIX. You can run full OpenBSD or whatever on them.

Unfortunately, it appears that the Routerstation has been discontinued.
