Sorry to highjack this thread looking for a product recommendation, but I've been running the same old netgear router with dd-wrt on it for about 8 years and am thinking of an upgrade.

I had been considering ubiquiti, but the stuff in this thread (not just the ads, mostly the "stuff doesn't work" posts) has made me reconsider.

Every time I look for a router nowadays, everything looks like a hedgehog it seems[0]. Has anyone got a recommendation for a solid, high performance home router to put dd-wrt or similar onto? (also, would people recommend openwrt or something instead? I've not really looked at alternatives since I set this up).

I tend to trust flashing something open source onto it better than whatever crap the manufacturer has decided to put onto it.

Thanks in advance.
