@Justin I love my easily modded Buffalo router. It was only 25 bucks and has been running Tomato firmware for 2 years. The only problem is Buffalo can no longer sell routers in the US due to a patent issue from another company. Until that settlement can be reversed Buffalo can't sell any more routers. Outside the US, they're still being sold and still a great product if you can get it.
However, this Netgear router is joke for it selling point and price. It has neither wireless N or a gigabit lan connection. Yeah, it can modded, but so can the Linksys WRT54GL which can be had for between 50-60 bucks. Its only 200mhz, but I doubt that will make a serious difference in the performance of the router. Sorry Netgear, you're going to need to try harder to win over people
