Qualcomm Atheros is the way forward.
Is there a reason you say this? With Atheros you’re stuck with SFE. With Broadcom you get CTF and Flow Acceleration which are significantly faster than SFE.
Like already mentioned, Broadcom are mostly closed source drivers only very little is opensource from those guys where router HW is concerned..
In any case, If the router has an excellent CPU at decent clock speeds and decent amount of RAM, it should be able to handle 1Gbps symmetric WAN connection even without CTF/FA and just using SFE. Or some router which offloads the process to some dedicated chip, but consumer routers are generally using outdated technologies and dont really use additional chips for this (only for Wifi where QCAM is concerned but not many user devices support QCAM). (read about planned obsolesce).

So, out of curiosity, are there any Mesh Network Hardware options that support open source or do they all require manufacturers firmware? _________________ Linksys WRT3200ACM

if you consider WDS, as a mesh...
