Hi SNB,
After serious frustration with limitations of current of wireless routers I am ready to take the plunge and build a "real" home network. My plan is to use a wired 6+ port router and add wireless with 2 AP's.
I need help choosing a router for my home and would love some input on which one.

My non-negotiable requirements:
- 6+ gigabit ports
- A modern firmware with advanced options and firewall
- Support for OpenWRT or DD-WRT if I outgrow limitations of stock firmware or just feel like experimenting
- Out-of-box syslogd support (send to IP)
- Solid and fast--won't choke with lots of open connections
- IPv6 support
- Costs less than $150
- Dual WAN support (available to config for load blancing and redundancy)
- Ethernet link aggregation
- USB 3.0 port(s) with built-in SMB server
