Thanks very = much=20 to the CeroWRT community for providing such a solid base on which to=20 build. We could not have got the release out without the help of this=20 community.=20 For the OpenWIreless project we want to move toward wider deployment.=20 I have started to look into how the EFF could support more router = models.=20 The idea is to find a few routers with OpenWRT (Barrier Breaker or = later) that=20 are widely deployed in the field today. By releasing images for an = additional 3-5 widely deployed router models we hope to reach more people with a=20 software only solution for openwireless -- i.e remove the need to buy a=20= specific router model.=20 We do want one very modern high end platform that can support 100+ Mbps on the WAN link. This might be the one people on this list have been = searching=20 for over the last few months. However, we also want to pick 3 or 4 = previous=20 generation routers with just 802.11n (no need for 11ac) and processor / = memory=20 equivalent or just a bit better than the 3800. With OpenWRT support, presumably it would be simple to port over the=20 Openwireless code. However whether that is true is TBD. Ease of porting=20= would be an important consideration.=20 Are there any router models folks on this list can recommend for me to = look=20 at ? Large existing installed base and good OpenWRT support are the = main=20 metrics for ranking candidates.=20 Thanks, Ranga
