More of a meta comment...

I daresay I haven't had much luck finding devices that run OpenWRT well.

I have run through the hardware support list in parallel with reading stock
lists at
local computer shops, and found, erm, "inadequate overlap."   The last time
I
bought a router, it looked like it *might* support OpenWRT, however that has
remained nascent, so I'm still running DD-WRT.

I'm a bit suspicious that OpenWRT isn't sufficiently supported by "staffing"
(of whatever sort) to keep up with the normal flow of new router hardware
(there's naturally going to be new stuff, as all the vendors need to sell
something new next year).
