We often talk about amd vs nvidia, mac vs pc, but how about we talk about routers?
Whats your go to router brand and which is the one you're currently using?
Mines pic related.
Some $15 Walmart Belkin. My connection is just as fast as plugging directly into the router so I call it good.

I use an aironet 1602e for wireless bridging, and a Shuttle Celeron running CentOS 6.x for routing/firewall/etc.
OpenWrt/DD-WRT/etc., are neat, but they always have weird bugs and limitations, and the QC is never as good, because the universe of consumer router equipment is enormous.

I'm using a Huawei HG655b with a TL-WN7200ND wifi adapter, connected to him by USB. All done with the help of OpenWrt.
Is a great router
WRT... only good embedded OS. but i am going to move to pfsense soon
Production environment, usually Cisco for me, dependent upon client requirement.. SonicWall are also pretty nice to work with.
For me it doesn't even matter at home, but I have a DrayTek 2925 if anyone actually cares.

Linksys, because they support the use of OpenWRT and have some routers with open chipsets that allow the user to fuck with the software defined radios.
>routers
I use iptables, dnsmasq, dhcpd and Linux with a D-link PCI-E wireless adapter. 802.11n reaches my subscription speed and the signal is at max behind two concrete walls and an active microwave oven. Never buying a router again unless it's built into a modem that I need, they're all designed like lightbulbs.
>inb4 electricity costs
My electricity bill was higher by average before I plugged this machine in and left it on 24/7.

Though I did advice my parents on which router to buy and ended up choosing some model of Linksys for them which lasted ridiculously long. I don't remember why they switched, but the same model wasn't available in local stores anymore, and the newer "equivalent" overheated daily or more like every other router does.
Bought the Archer C7 a while back. It's pretty good, especially with openWRT and wrtbwmon installed. Only issue is that AC speeds slow down a bit with openWRT.
Coverage is great though.
I have the modem that comes with the Xfinity service.

Linksys wrt54g, the greatest router of all time. Running Tomato firmware.
I'm using an Asus rt-n16 with Merlin firmware. It's pretty solid, but I also have a 1u micro server with pfsense, but it's loud and I need to redo some cabling in my a garage so I can put it out there.
It's really something that's supposed to be judged by model. TP-LINK seems to be the most generally well regarded consumer models from what little I've read a few months ago.
