Looking for budget router to flash w / dd-wrt to use as a client ?

[bamx2]

I am looking for budget wireless router (around $20) to use with a printer that has an Ethernet port. Suggestions are appreciated.

So far I have narrowed it down to these 2-

Refurb Linksys E1200 - http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00AAU54TW...TF8&colid=1W3PPF7M884CY&coliid=I3GYNORL8AEX02

or
TP-LINK TL-WR841N -

Are you keen on using DD-WRT with the router? If not. You could probably just use the TP-Link WR841N as a client bridge. It isn't too difficult to set up.

Only reason I say that is I tried using DD-WRT with the WR841N and kept dropping packets, only time it worked well was in client mode which was pointless for me. I was only like 20 feet away from my main router too.

But it probably didn't help that my main router didn't have DD-WRT flashed on it. Might have turned out differently if it did.

The TP-LINK TL-WR841N will work very well with Gargoyle firmware as a bridge, very stable. Gargoyle is based on OpenWRT.
