I've read this question, and checked out the supported devices list, but am looking specifically for a gigabit 802.11n router that is easy to find and fully supported by DD-WRT.
It seems like some of the Linksys WRT300N-series are a good idea, but I'm not sure which of these are easily available and fully supported.
If you think 802.11n is a waste of time, that's also an acceptable answer. Just let me know why. In that case, I'm perfectly happy to go with the standard Linksys WRT54GL.
Answer
It seems like N is still up and coming. Possible candidates, all Linksys:
- WRT350N seems decent but a few people have had to buy a RAM heatsink to stick on the processor to prevent overheating
- WRT600N looks good but I think it's discontinued
- WRT150N is seems to have the least issues and is stable but I think it's discontinued. This is perhaps the cheapest N router I could find. $60?
- WRT610N is a work in progress. The DD-WRT team is picking one apart right now to stabilize the firmware.
Finally, here's a chart just to show you what the stock firmware/hardware is capable of: http://www.smallnetbuilder.com/component/option,com_chart/Itemid,189/. If throughput is important, remember that DD-WRT does not increase speed, just adds a lot more functionality.
