You may have seen a previous thread or post by me talking up these routers. The last two shipments that I recieved from Newegg were v2 units, which can take DD-WRT. They have 4MB flash and 32MB RAM. Very solid routers, especially with DD-WRT.

Sadly, I had to upgrade to a dual-band router solution with Tomato, because the 2.4Ghz band here is pretty bad at times. But if you are looking for a 2.4Ghz-only router, that can run DD-WRT, these are pretty darn good for that.

I have been running one of these (also a refurb) for 2.0 years and it's been great. Although it does not have Gigabit ports, you will still get Gigabit speeds on your internal network if you connect this separately to a Gigabit switch. I was going to buy a Gigabit router, until I found this out. The built-in firmware is also very good, IMO. As a guide to how good this router is, in my household I have the following hooked up to it:

9 computers (including a public server running Minecraft 24/7)
2 iPads
2 iPod touches
4 smartphones
WD-Live player
Wii
Roku
Internet-enabled Blue-Ray player
2 Networked printers

I never have a single hiccup from it. It's in my basement, and I get decent signal on the third floor of my house. I never intended to keep this router - I bought it as a cheap interim solution, but I'm now afraid to buy an expensive "gaming" router, only to find it won't be any better than this one!
 
Weird, it had 315 reviews, I refreshed the page, and it said, be the first to review this product.

What's going on with Newegg's reviews? The same thing happened to that 4TB Seagate 5900RPM HDD that I started a thread on too.

Edit: And just like that, the reviews are back.

I bought the same model refurb Netgear router from a different site that lasted less than 6 weeks. The refurb warranty mine came with said 30 days. I tried swapping out the power supply from another Netgear I had, and it failed the replacement power test, so it's a nice doorstop now. It basically connects, then drops the connection after less than 30 seconds.

Just a heads up y'all.
