Hi All,
My D-Link DIR868RevB died and I am looking for an affordable router with “good” DD-WRT support. I know good is relative and firmware version based, but good DD-WRT support for me means that I want this to work:

• IPv4 & IPv6-PD support
  
• VAP support with security (868 failed on that part)
  
• FreeRadius for WPA2 Enterprise
  
• ProFTP & Samba to USB thumb
  
• DNSMasq DHCP & DNS
  
• VLAN support on Ethernet LAN would be nice to have

Right now, the following routers are on my list and I am wondering about your experiences with it and in case you have a preference, which one you prefer:

• Netgear Nighthawk R7000 - AC1900
  
• Asus RT-AC68U - AC1900
  
• Linksys EA6900 - AC1900

I would appreciate it, when you explain your preference of the poll in case you vote

Out of those 3 the R7000 is the best.

Netgear Nighthawk R7000 - 1000Mhz CPU
Asus RT-AC68U - AC1900 - 800Mhz CPU
Linksys EA6900 - AC1900 - 800Mhz CPU

The Linksys is total crap. The R7000 is pretty much the best supported DD-WRT router.

If you don't need the 200Mhz extra for faster NAT, then I can give you another recommendation, the Netgear R6400. Almost R7000 with 800Mhz CPU clock.
The R6400 has 128K nvram (the other 3 have 64K) and therefore won't run out of nvram even with the most complex configurations.

R6400 is currently my main unit.
