Linksys E900 Wireless-N Router

Good router, can install DD-WRT software which makes it a very powerful router.
Works great with DD-WRT and WiFi range is really far better than I expected.
This is a nice router with basic N speeds. Seems to be very stable if you update to the latest firmware.
The router was very easy to setup and when plugged in directly to the router it was at full speed that was available directly from the cable modem.
No real complaints. The unit is cool looking too, and pretty small.
