recommended routers for OBi
MontyForum:
Hi, all.
I purchased the OBi and have problems setting it up due to the fact that I have a wireless modem with built in router. I've been advised that the changes that are recommended router configuration changes in the FAQ when set up problems occur can't be made (e.g. turn on QoS, turn off any SIP ALG residing in router). I'm now looking for to purchase a router and use the modem as a bridge. Does anyone have suggestions re. a good routers (not too expensive $100 range preferably) that requires little or no configuration for my OBi to work?
MikeHObi:
For under 100, you should be able to pickup a decent single band router at 2.4Ghz which is probably what your original wifi was setup as. ASUS RT-N16 is one of the better ones available under $100 at places like newegg.com and should work fine with an OBI.

I have never regretted buying my ASUS RT-N16. I use it with my OBi202. The fact that you can use it with dd-wrt leaves endless options. In fact I bought mine specifically for use with dd-wrt but I never installed it because it already does everything I want. I did do an update to the latest official firmware however.
One last thing. I had a modem with wireless router built in that was made by Motorola. I had nothing but trouble and I returned it twice. The second time I got the Asus with a stand alone modem made by Motorola. Everything is beautiful now.

Considering that the the OP there was using a non-stock firmware, I don't know that I'd see that issue as being one with the device.
