   Suggestions for the ultimate !openwrt wireless router?

     @balleyne: I'm *very* happy with my #Cisco/#Linksys #WRT160NL + !Gargoyle (the latter is a GUI-version of !OpenWRT)

     @hook: thanks for the suggestion!

     @balleyne: The "trouble" with #WRT160NL is that it has an #Atheros chipset, which #DDWRT and #Tomato don't support yet well enough.

     @balleyne: On the other hand, #Atheros works just fine on !Gargoyle and !OpenWRT.

     @hook: hmm, thanks. 've used !OpenWRT before with a D-Link router, in the middle of researching #DD-WRT and #Tomato now.

     @balleyne: BTW, the most supported HW, although with very little space and RAM, is still #Linksys #WRT54G.

     @balleyne: I'd suggest to go for !Gargoyle if you want a WebGUI and some sane defaults. !OpenWRT if you want to build the system yourself.

     @hook: I've got a #WRT54G now (stock firmware), though it's acting up. V8 is not supported by OpenWrt, but just realized DD-WRT supports it.

     @hook: thanks, wasn't familiar with Gargoyle. Might get a new router with Gargoyle in mind, then try #DD-WRT on my possibly-wonky #WRT54G...

     @hook: aha! I remembered something fishy about DD-WRT when I researched it last year, that's why I'd chosen !OpenWrt. Thanks for the link.

     @hook: so, when I set up !OpenWrt at my parents place last year, I used LuCI for the GUI. Have you tried it? Why did you pick Gargoyle?

     @balleyne: To be honest, I haven't tried #LuCi/!OpenWRT. I saw !Gargoyle and it made sense, had a build for my router and has great defaults

     @hook: Cool. Might try Gargoyle, since I've already tried #LuCI. LuCI is alright, but was a bit complex. Thanks for the advice.
