This might do it... it's a tri-band router with external antennas and it
specifically mentions DD-WRT in the title:

Gotcha.

Odd thing is that I can connect to the device’s web interface every time,
but getting beyond it (i.e.- across it as a bridge), I get all sorts of
weird network hangs. Yet all the other devices in my home are just fine.

I  have configured as a bridge plugging in to a separate interface/subnet on
my firewall… I’ve double checked my rulesets and logs there, and all seems
fine, and it’s the same realest that fires for the rest of the wireless
clients. One of these days I’ll CAT5 my laptop directly in to one of the
hardwired ports on the thing and see if eliminating the RF portion of the
link changes anything.

That begs the question: Does anybody have a recommendation for a AP that
meets the following criteria:

1) Reasonably[1] inexpensive
2) Does simultaneous 2.4 and 5 GHz
3) External antennas
4) Runs DD-WRT well

My current unit does not have #’s 2& 3

-sc

[1] For some definition of ‘reasonable’

-sc

No, it's with a pretty old LinkSys WRT-54.  I'm just pointing out that I too
have a device that is the only one with connection problems.
