>On the back of the device there are four GbE ports

I really wish at least 8 LAN ports would become the standard rather than 4. The stock response is "LOL it's not a problem because WiFi." But I don't want a dozen devices contending for the WiFi of the router. I want most of my devices to be on wired connections with (ideally) the only WiFi devices being phones.

So far the only router that seems to feature 8 GbE ports --and has support for flashing OpenWRT or Tomato or whatever-- is one from Mikrotik under the "RouterBOARD" brand: http://routerboard.com/RB493G ; casing, power adapter, and antennae sold separately. Does anyone know of any other, better, options?

edit: wrong link. fixed.
