first hand opinions.
E4200 is expensive, but it's possible to pick up a refurb from the
Cisco US webstore. Not easy, but possible.

E4200 too? I picked one up a while ago, but haven't gotten around to
setting it up yet. Am thinking heat buildup will be a problem with
it.

What's wrong with buffalos?
I have one high power buffalo flashed with dd-wrt and found it stable.

still stands closer to my heart, because their web interface is clean,
fast and logically well structured and it runs linux which many of us
are quite familiar with.
as opposed to stephan, i can't recall having any problems w dd-wrt
equipped, sometimes antenna power boosted linksys wrt-54g routers
(which i installed in 2-5 person officies and homes in 15 locations at
least in wds setups too) neither with the asus wl500-gp (which i
installed in ~4 bigger officies and used for myself too)
the biggest easily SOLVABLE issue i have seen was a kind of slowdown
http://www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/Router_Slowdown
i just had to adjust the tcp time out so tcp connections wont pile up
in CLOSE_WAIT state saturating connection tracking tables in the
kernel.
we ran into this only when my neighbour started using torrent heavily...
this half yr old review
https://www.flashrouters.com/blog/2011/06/13/recommendations-of-best-routers-for-using-and-installing-ddwrt-open-source-firmware/
recommends:
USD$150 Netgear WNDR3700 Rangemax N600
(only ~10% cheaper than an Airport Extreme but very similar functionality...)

i don't have fiber, but
i want to watch hd movies from one of my laptops on the other thru wifi,
while downloading stuff with 2-3Mbit/s during my wife watching the
news from her ipad.
theoretically even the 802.11g network should be enough for this, but
i think the crowdedness of the 2.4GHz doesn't let it happen in
practice.
since both macs support a/b/g/n, i thought i should have an airport extreme, but
a, it's 1288 HKD
b, the airport utility has been crippled in mountain lion
c, not very hackable; i want dyndns on it the very least (i saw meng's
note above)
i was wondering if i could get some a/n router which is robust, still
easy to use but more flexible in the same price range.

> so is the winner still the airport extreme these days?
i bought two for the office and one of them has been extremely flakey.
still on the hunt for a better solution.
5Ghz support is mandatory due to crowding in 2.4Ghz.
