I ordered two Belkin Share Max N300 Wireless N+ MiMo Routers, with gigabit ethernet and 2 USB ports from Amazon for $25 each, but I had a $10 gift card which made the total only $40.
My routers in the house was a Netgear WNDR3400 and an old Linksys WRT54G. Since I am replacing the Linksys with this new router, I thought it would be nice to replace the Netgear one too, to have matching routers. However, the wifi range of this new one isn’t as good for the tenants in the basement, so I will keep the Netgear router and only replace the Linksys.
I installed the Tomato USB firmware but after hours of playing around with the configuration, I could not get internet speeds faster than 20Mbps. So I decided to try the dd-wrt firmware, lo and behold, I got my maximum internet speed of 50Mbps. I will keep the dd-wrt firmware even though it does not have support of the USB ports on the router.
