As folks on this list might know the OpenWireless project at EFF adopted CeroWRT as a base for the hacker release of the OpenWireless router in July -- which as a result is based on the WNDR 3800. Thanks very much to the CeroWRT community for providing such a solid base on which to build. We could not have got the release out without the help of this community.
For the OpenWIreless project we want to move toward wider deployment. I have started to look into how the EFF could support more router models. The idea is to find a few routers with OpenWRT (Barrier Breaker or later) that are widely deployed in the field today. By releasing images for an additional 3-5 widely deployed router models we hope to reach more people with a software only solution for openwireless -- i.e remove the need to buy a specific router model. We do want one very modern high end platform that can support 100+ Mbps on the WAN link. This might be the one people on this list have been searching for over the last few months. However, we also want to pick 3 or 4 previous generation routers with just 802.11n (no need for 11ac) and processor / memory equivalent or just a bit better than the 3800. With OpenWRT support, presumably it would be simple to port over the Openwireless code. However whether that is true is TBD. Ease of porting would be an important consideration. Are there any router models folks on this list can recommend for me to look at ? Large existing installed base and good OpenWRT support are the main metrics for ranking candidates.
