#linksys_wrt160nl Very good router if you do not require the Gigabit LAN. Comes with external antennas and is compatibile with DD-WRT Standard. Has been replaced by the E2100L and is also on sale everywhere right now, so you can get one for under 100 bucks no problem at your local store. The default Linksys firmware is crap, you will have to have the DD-WRT firmware if you have an internet connection over about 4 mbit/s as it will limit your speeds. Also has usb connections for network accessabe storage.
