For Me:

    Location: Home
    Coverage: ~1k sqft
    Hardware: 1 Buffalo Wireless router/ap
    Firmware: ODM, tried DD-WRT with no success (~2years ago)
    Features: Nothing fancy

Comments: I originally bought the Buffalo device on the recommendation of Jeff Atwood but I was never able to get the DD-WRT firmware he was so excited about to work reliably so I fell back to the default firmware which is adequate, so far as it goes.
