874339 2010-04-16 13:11:00 I use a Linksys AM300 in halfbridge to an Asus WL-520GU running Tomato.

I'm sticking with G-Wireless personally, but if I were doing any now I'd use the Linksys WRT54GL to run Tomato on. Similar price but the WL-520GU is no longer in production.

The AM300 is good, reliable, and syncs well. Only other replacement I'd consider would be the Draytek DV120, where it's even slightly more reliable than the AM300 (Have had the *odd* issue, but that's across dozens of customers without issues), although the DV120 syncs at a significantly slower speed than the AM300, which makes a difference when you're over 2KM from the Exchange (The difference between 3800kbps and 1500kbps I think if memory serves me correctly).

I'm going back to an Airport shortly, for use as an N-Wireless router, will keep the network separate from my G-Wireless. I couldn't bear to replace my Tomato AP with the QoS it does (Not on Wireless but on WAN traffic) and all the traffic accounting that it does for me too. My Tomato AP has been up 168 days now and counting ... Prior to that it only died due to reboot.
The only reason I sold my Airport Express in the first place was because I needed some quick cash back in the day, and had the Tomato AP in-place, using the Airport Express only to stream music to the stereo system...
