Default Help me pick a Router

Linksys WRT54G-TM w/DD-WRT

Amount of memory is Twice that of a WRT54GL

* Heat sink to main CPU ( see Photo's )
* JTAG Header used to flash memory ( see Photo's )

$70

vs.

Apple Airport Extreme

-802.11n
-Gigabit ports
-USB port

$179

My current WRT54G v5 is needing constant reboots to run properly and has shitty range for some odd reason. I even replaced the antennas with bigger 7dbi pieces

Most definitely the linksys if it has the open source firmware.
