What I meant was: - Searching for "dd-wrt" *and* relying only on only those search results won't give you the whole picture. - If a company actually lists dd-wrt on the box, they might (or might not) charge a premium for this. - A company claiming dd-wrt on the box might not mean that is it "easy" to install the OS - there might be caveats footnoted on the HCL/wiki. (eg, only use TFTP to install/upgrade on Belkin, etc) What I normally do is find a model that I like given my requirements (price, hardware, etc), then look on the HCL to see if it is supported with the OS that I want to put on it. If not, find a new model. Seems to work given the expansive HCL that dd-wrt claims. Well..I've only shopped for routers once :) -Jeremy
