hy guys,

i search a "nice" Hardware for a UMTS/3G Router.
that are the Requirements:

- smart standart hardware, without "rotating" hardware (normal Harddrive, CPU fan usw.)
- USB Ports for Storage or/and UMTS Cards
- integrated Switch
- supported/tested Hardware with openWRT

thanks for you time and I am very greatfull for any tips.

Netgear WGT-634U

Asus WL-500g Deluxe or Premium

or a TP-LINK TL-WR1043ND (but the wlan driver may be a bit more unstable).

An Alix board features more RAM, a Compact Flash socket, but doesn't provide an Ethernet switch (but up to three NIC). It's a bit pricier, too, with an additional WLAN NIC and case.

The discussion might have continued from here.
