Hi Ben,
No, I'm not doing anything at all with the "n" part. For that matter,
I'm not doing anything interesting with the "b/g" part other than
verifying that it works. My reason for getting this router was to try
out the development environment for dd-wrt and/or other open source
router firmware.
I don't know of *any* similarly-priced models, new or refurb, with or
without 802.11n, that support dd-wrt. There are cheaper routers but I
have not seen any that support dd-wrt. This might just show that I'm
not too good at searching but it's hard to beat $35 by much. If you or
anyone else out there knows of a cheaper dd-wrt compatible router,
please let me know.
One reason that I didn't want to spend a lot on this router is that
there is some chance that I might ruin it. Hopefully that will not
happen but if it does, I don't want much cash invested in a paperweight.
On the subject of writing code to run under dd-wrt, does anyone reading
this have any experience along those lines? Most of the instructions I
have seen are about recompiling/rebuilding the dd-wrt O/S but I would
rather start with a "hello world" program.

...and, since you've done your homework, does this model provide
substantially more RAM & CPU than similarly-priced new models (not refurb)?

router for $35 - shipping included. I got one of these a couple of
days ago and now have dd-wrt running on it.
