I'm a big fan of the WNDR3700, bought it on a whim a few years ago, the firmware it comes with sucks, but with *WRT it just works (I've got a V2, have a look at http://wiki.openwrt.org/toh/netgear/wndr3700 http://wiki.openwrt.org/toh/netgear/wndr3700 for details about versions). With a powered USB hub and an external disk drive and a webcam, it functions as remote backup via. rsync and monitoring my home when I'm on vacation, when enabled it takes pictures every 2 seconds when there's movement in the frame. The pictures are uploaded offsite immediately. I'm using OpenWRT and have had very little problems, only issue I've noticed is that the wifi transfer speeds are a bit slower (10-30%) than when using the factory firmware, but I can live with that. 21:47:12 up 221 days, 5:22, load average: 0.00, 0.01, 0.04
