It is time to replace my 2 WRTs in my house with something faster and more CPU power as i am maxing out it's CPUs and require more throughput.

Any ideas of what to replace it with?
It must also be-able to run the DD-WRT firmware.
It must have wireless faster than 54mb/s
It must have a WAN port
It must have a CPU of more than 200 MHz

Replaced my WRT with this : http://www.dbg.co.za/product_info.php?cPath=1_55_56&products_id=201

400 or 600mhz cpu (cant remember and cant login right now) and way more memory, the linksys was a mission to squeeze all on my apps on.

WRT support is offical as well, which is a bonus!

CPU: Atheros AR9132 400MHz
Switch: Marvell 88E6060-RCJ1
Memory: HY5DU561622ETP-5 (16Mx16, 32M)
Flash: 25P64V6P (8M)
Radio: AR9001

Ah yes i was eye-balling that model but the price put me a bit off "not knowing if it's good quality", can it be configured as a repeater aswell?
Currently i have my 2 WRTs linked via wifi and both of them can still be used as Access Points while they are "paired" with each other.

Had the same concern, but Atheros, Marvell etc. can be found in the original Linksys. The RAM I believe is Hynix as used by apple.

Router has serious range as well, suites me fine. Personnaly havent tried to set it up as a repeater.
