[LUNI] Routers of all kinds

[Branko Kotur]

I'm currently using a WRT54GL at home (with the DD-WRT firmware) and have 
bought this model for many people.  However, do not get the WRT54G model 
(notice there's no L at the end of the model name).  This one uses less RAM 
and another OS.  The main reason I say not to get it is because I've seen 
this model fail left and right.  It seems to be a hardware failure of some 
kind since they always end up in an endless reboot or just plain don't work 
anymore.  I've yet to see a WRT54GL fail on me.

I know that there are other routers (by Netgear, Buffallo, etc) based on the 
WRT firmware, but I don't know which models they are, nor do I have any 
experience with them.
