I'd consider this TP-Link to be "commodity", does dual band, is easily
flashable to OpenWRT (the reason I bought it)...
http://wiki.openwrt.org/toh/tp-link/tl-wdr4300

And on the plus side, it's less than $60 through Amazon, and Prime-eligible
to boot...

I have one in my living room serving both 2.4GHz and 5GHz, with 2 more I
bought through a Gold Box deal a while back that'll replace the WiFi
cablemodem (I have a Surfboard I need to get registered, which is *just* a
cablemodem), and the 2nd will go in the basement to provide more coverage.
So... one per floor in my house... eventually.
