I am in the market for a new home router (wired & wifi) but hardware is
not really my area of expertise so that's why I'm reaching out to you guys.

Given the following requirements, which routers would you recommend?
- WAN port capable of handling 1 Gbps
- 4 (or ideally more) LAN ports capable of handling 1 Gbps
- WiFi capability (b/g/n/... ? What am I looking for here?)
- Ability to put OpenWRT on it to configure it to my heart's content

I'm pretty serious about putting OpenWRT on it so that's a hard requirement.

I've looked at https://wiki.openwrt.org/toh/start but again, hardware is
not my area of expertise and so these are just names to me, nothing more.
Have any of you done something similar? With which devices and what was
your experience?

What is the price range I'm looking at? Are we talking 100-to-200 USD or
more?
