Hi everyone,I'm new here but thought this would be a good place to leverage of others experience.Question : I want to get myself a DD-WRT router, which one (make/model) should I get?These are a few things I want to accomplish.- extend wireless coverage in my house- usage/traffic monitoring (per computer/mac address statistics)- write traffic to a log file on remote deviceThings I'm concerned about$$$$$ haha, ok I don't really wanna spend too much, just want something that will do the job okI'll chuck in a few routers I'm looking at and see what you guys thinkCisco Linksys E1200 N300 - DD-WRT v24-sp2 (05/27/13)Cisco Linksys WRT610N - DD-WRT v24-sp2 MEGA 7.5MB edition (03/25/13)What do you guys think? Any other recommendations? Cons for either of these two routers? Can I get better for less $?What kinds of other 'working' setups does anyone else have out there? I really want to be able to see what 'data used per computer', write this to a file on say a file server, even try setup nagios monitoring later on, but I'll start with a router first that can offer me the functionality first without setting me back to muchCheers :)
