I haven't. A half dozen new router models hit the market every 6 months
or so, and I last looked at the marketplace at the start of the Summer.

I start my research by taking a look at what the various 3rd party
router firmware communities are excited about. Back then, it was the
ASUS RT-N16.

Neat. It may indeed be the current "sweet spot" in router hardware.

Now, if its capable of running FreeBSD (pfSense), that would get my
attention.
