[kwlug-disc] Router dying?

[CrankyOldBugger]

OK, thanks for that.  I'm leaning toward the TP-Link 4300 at this point,
however, as the Asus is not supported by openWRT.  I'm an openWRT fan.

And as you pointed out, the Asus is twice the money.  Budget is a little
tight right now!

But I'm glad to hear that the 4300 is doing well in the reviews.  I got
that impression too.
