[ale] Quick (5 words or less), Brand / Model recommendation...

[eholcroft at mkainc.com (Edward Holcroft)]

Look closely at the Buffalo model you select. They don't all have DD-WRT. I
got burned with one of the lower-end models that came with crappy Buffalo
firmware and was not upgradable by multiple flash methods. Other than that
experience, I've put at least a dozen of these in place and they're great.

?For example,
the WHR-300HP2D
? runs DDWRT?
,
?but
the WHR-300HP2
? looks the same, does not run DD-WRT and cannot be upgraded.? That's the
sort of subtle difference you need to be aware of.
