Alright /g/, my WRT54G has served me well, but the times are changing and I need something with more bands and gigabit ports.
What is the modern equivilent of this legendary ancient relic? Bonus points if it supports custom firmwares.

Why would you even buy your own router in this day and age?
>>53369384
most isp routers are a shit
>>53369384
What's the other option? Building my own?
some tp-link with gargoyle or dd-wrt or openwrt
get them while the bootloaders are still unlocked
alternatives: get a netgear or an asus but make sure they have support for custom firmware first. or build your own.
I have a WDR-4300 with gargoyle running on it, works beautifully. bought a WDR1043N a while ago too, to stock up from the routerpocalypse

actually yes, get a nice low power i3 xeon with a motherboard with a few pci-e 16x slots and some intel quad gigabit nics and pfsense
you just built a router that will literally never die

Too costly, I've already Frankenstein away all my spare hardware short of a mid-tier fermi video card and a budget sound card.

That shit overwhelming. I set it to access point. Get IP but webpages do not work. I am glad I bought a 20 dollar modem to test this out

If you set it to access point, you need to point it to your router.
Sometimes it also helps to plug into your second device on the LAN ports rather than the WAN.

Not the guy you're responding to, but: go online and buy a p4 or Athlon X2 workstation for 80 jewbux and put $40 worth of NIC and hard drive in it. Fucking done.

this
New routers (in the US) are going to be required to disallow any user modifications to firmware as per FCC regulations.

You're going to have to cite your sources there, bud. This is nothing new and doesn't cause enough harm to cause federal intervention.

You bought that meme, didn't you?
