[tlug] [OT] Home Internet router reccomendations

[Jon Povey <jon@example.com>]

I just signed up for NTT/OCN Hikari internet, and need to find myself a 
router. I thought I'd double check / get some opinions rather than going 
with the one they offered me (a Buffalo Airstation WZR-HP-G300NH for 
10800 yen).

It looks like the connection is by Ethernet from the provider into the 
router, is that right? If there are any different standards between 
providers then I'd welcome any warnings.

Am after something with a wifi AP and 4 or so ethernet connections for 
client machines, does DHCP, NAT, the usual. Something that does UPnP, 
static NAT mappings and static DHCP reservations would be good. An 
English language admin interface option would be a major bonus too..

Other bonus options would be the ability to connect from the outside 
world and wake-on-lan my PC, and hardware that can run OpenWRT.

Thanks for any suggestions, "I have an xyz and it works fine" are welcomed.
