It's DD-WRT and Tomato compatible. This is the cheapest I've seen one with a USB port. Has anyone used any or put DD-WRT on it? I'm thinking of buying it and putting DD-WRT on it.
It's got some pretty good specs: 64 MB ram, 8 MB flash and a Broadcom BCM4718 @ 480MHz

I have used that router, and now I have the upgraded version, so I can tell it's a standard router + the USB ports. At 20 bucks it's a good buy, but don't expect miracles from it (and the factory software is plagued with glitches). _________________ If you want support, please read first the announcements and forum rules.

On eBay there is a belkin f7d4301 for $1 plus $7 shipping. It's dual band and has USB port. I've bought 5 of these at that price.
There is one day left on the bid. The most I've paid is $11 that's including the shipping.
Also dd-wrt compatible. _________________ I am far from a guru, I'm barely a novice.

I ordered one and put DD-WRT on it an it works great. A N router with a USB port for 20 bucks is pretty cheap. The stock firmware is terrible though.

You think you can link us to those? Because the cheapest ones I can find on eBay are 30 bucks + shipping.
I'm sorry, I meant to say f7d4302 not 4301. One has gigabit ports one doesn't. Still not bad fir setting them up as client bridged on one band and ap on the other. _________________ I am far from a guru, I'm barely a novice.
