Can someone recommend a reliable wireless N router?
I'm looking to replace my linksys WRT-310N router with one that has a stable WAN connection because the WRT-310N drops the internet every 10 to 20 minutes or so reguardles of firmware (Its a hardware defect for the entire model that cant be fixed as it is in all WRT-310N routers, it is a design flaw), and for me to get it to work again I have to give it time to resolve itself or power cycle it.
the new router that I would like needs to have the following:
4 port wired Gigabit Ethernet connections
wireless N
the ability to put open source firm ware on it such as open DD-WRT
known wan stability with no drops or random connectivity issues
the router must be relitivly cool/warm but not scorching like the WRT-310N
and price doesn't really mater as long as its a reliable router.

1. I had the same problem with that Linksys model. DD-WRT didn't improve things and actually made it worse.I switched to a Netgear WNR834bv2 with the DD-WRT mini load - dd-wrt.v24-10431_NEWD_mini_wnr834bv2.chk - and could not be happier. It didn't flinch before or after I DD-WRT'd it.
I'm also playing with the VPN load and early returns look good with that for a remote office configuration. Have not yet tried a road warrior setup though.
