I see, btw, RT-N53 will be supported by our FW too.

For a multipurpose whole house AP, I've got my eye on the about to be released Asus RT-N53 dual band router
(reportedly 28 dBm (2.4 GHZ mode g/ 26 dBm mode n). The RT-N53 is Broadcom based using proprietary drivers.
Using the OEM fw should provide the 28 dBm in 2.4 GHZ. Whether the power will be maintained by 3rd party fw
remains to be seen. The FCC report was completed Sep 20, 2011. Asus seems to be fully committed to their
router product line and and fully involved in insuring that they perform as spec'ed and designed. Their fw is
adequate for most users. Broadcom based routers have a higher chance of success with 3rd party fw. I am
also looking forward to seeing the FCC specs for the much hyped RT-N66U. They are not as yet published
