home wireless router recommendation

*I’m looking for recommendations for an inexpensive home wireless router that can run the latest full version of DD-WRT.

I’ve used an Asus RT-N16 at home for a few years. No problems.

What version of DD-WRT are you running on it?

FYI…

New FCC rules could ban DD-WRT and wireless router modification

V24-sp2

Did that come pre-installed or did you download and flash it yourself?

The Wirecutter (which hasn’t failed me yet) recommends the TP-Link Archer C7 and makes reference to WRT support. I have this router, and it’s been rock solid for my condo since I bought it. Haven’t had to reboot it once that I can remember, and I bought in September. It’s a palpable step up from the standard wifi in my U-Verse box, which is also about six and a half years old now so I guess I can’t be too grumpy.

Now you’re taxing my memory. I’m almost positive I flashed it myself (and a quick Google search seems to confirm that).

Once I had it up and running, I spent a day or two configuring it in some needlessly complex way - just to see if I could - and haven’t had to touch it since.

That article is dated over half a year ago. Anybody know the current status??

FCC: We aren’t banning DD-WRT on Wi-Fi routers

The wording in the article is very Clintonesque. It depends on what your definition of “is” is.

“They aren’t banning dd-wrt on routers” could mean “They’re just banning users from upgrading their router firmware to dd-wrt”.

If the above is true, then they’ve effectively banned dd-wrt.

Does anyone know what the latest FCC rules are concerning this, and what router manufacturers are doing with their new models?
