Can anyone recommend a wireless router?

[Matthew Forr]

Mine died last week and I still haven't replaced it.

Ideally I'd like to have it handle torrents and plug into an external hard drive. Preferably formatted for HFS+ but NTFS would be ok...I guess.

So far I'm considering the RT-N16, RT-N56U or forgetting the torrents and getting an Airport Express Extreme.

Are there any other cool features I should consider?

I just upgraded at home to:

No problems so far and having dd-wrt is really powerful.

What version of dd-wrt does it run? Can I install Optware packages on it?

I suggest the same one, though perhaps the cheaper one

I have 3 of those between myself and my parents. they are awesome.. 

Though i dont know if they run optware

Caveat - those routers sometimes have strange issues when certain
wireless chipsets connect as clients. Mostly debugged in the latest
nightly DD-WRT builds, but your life will be pain and frustration
otherwise.

personally I love pfsense for routing, but it does need some form of x86 hardware...
but.. i also have a lot of custom rules, static ips, and vpn needs...

I just use off-the shelf routers as dumb access points to the network

The big diff between the one I linked to and the one Maze did is just the addition of 5ghz N. Not a necessity but a difference.
