I'm a big fan of DD WRT and Gargoyle but not a big fan of Buffalo. Hopefully it works well for you. For my network I use dedicated AP's and then I use a Cisco 4507R-E as the router/core switch. I also use a Cisco PIX as the firewall and Astaro as my captive portal.

Well I installed it today.
Seemed to have a bit of trouble finding my ISP... had to reset my modem a few times. It seems to be ok now though and the range is *almost* good enough. (Gets half a bar at grandma's.)
If I use my old wireless router as a repeater in the front of the house it should be more than enough.
Thanks guys.

Many ISP's use single burn in sticky MACs for the LAN. Anytime you install a new WAN facing device you should always reboot the ISP's device unless it's a business class device, which then you're usually good on.

Yeah I'm actually an IT guy believe it or not. What struck me as odd was the fact that resetting the modem didn't help initially. Had to do it more than a few times, which is odd, because our ISP is generally very forgiving.
