Alternatively, you could build yourself a nice little router which
will run DD-WRT. Check out:

I have had good results with the VIA mini-ITX boards, too. The real
benefit to building a box for yourself is that you get to mount the
motherboard in a real case with fans and a decent power supply (though
the little stuff is expensive for the space you get, so beware of
that), and then choose your antenna(s).

If you don't want to get your hands dirty, but still want something a
bit more substantial than the LinkSys without paying an arm and a leg,
look at the Ubiquiti or Mikrotik offerings. I can usually get these at
reasonable prices through my Wi-Fi channel (no pun intended), so feel
free to run pricing past me to see if we can get you a better deal
than advertised.
    

FWIW If you buy a Mikrotik Routerboard it already comes preinstalled
with RouterOS. There is no reason to reflash it with something else.

You
can also load up RouterOS on almost any pC based h/w as well. The RB532
I believe is EOL. There is the RB450G which had five gigE ports.
