These looked interesting:

And I note that the netgear X4 HAS made a public GPL drop in the last
few weeks (thx, bruce, for the heads up). It is openwrt based (linux
3.4 with a backport of fq_codel) and it does not look too hard to
bring it up to snuff.

I recently did a test of their factory firmware at 180mbits with their
QoS feature, and it sucked. It seemed to work ok at lower bandwidths.
I fear they messed something up, but havent had time to verify with
something I understood.

(basically, you could set the rate right for an upload, and for a
download, but no matter what I tried, it bloated up when doing both
simultaneously)

Anyway, as this is the fastest hardware out there I know of, it is
presently the leading candidate for a next generation cerowrt - but
there seem to be some major blobs in here....
