Wifi N router with 2xUSB, DD-WRT - RT-N16 or something else?

Hi OzBargainers,

My old Linksys router just failed and now I'm in the market for a replacement. Planning to use the router to run Asterisk and share my USB printer, so two USB ports are essential. Also need DD-WRT / Tomato support.

I'm looking at the Asus RT-N16, and it seems to fit the bill; $132 from MSY. I gather the N56 has just been released, but doesn't support DD-WRT (yet?).

Can anyone comment on these two options or suggest alternatives? Budget is ~$150.

Cheers

From what I understand, the TP-Link TL-WR1043ND is considered the current "Holy Grail" of cheap, hackable routers.

Only one USB Port, but I am almost certain that you can use a hub
