I am just about ready to kick my trusty old Netgear WNR834b v2 (Full PDF manual) into the bucket. It's running DD-WRT and there weren't any big issues with it when I still was on DSL. But DD-WRT is basically dead and abandoned at this point, the only version that works on this model is some beta version, and I am increasingly frustrated by multiple glaring issues in it that will probably never be fixed. Let's please not get into too much detail about them here. But suffice to say, I am no longer happy with this router/firmware. I cannot get LOCAL ps3 => Vita streaming to work at all. It works as it should if I do internet remote play. But that's obviously not delivering the latency I want.
This is no config issue between the devices. The router just won't let me apply the correct config without breaking other stuff, like, say, the internet, DNS and all that other fancy shit.
=====
My setup involves a cable modem, then a router, and clients on both Wifi and ethernet. My PS3 is on ethernet. My Vita is on Wifi. For internet access to work, the router's WAN interface must be in DHCP client mode (receives a non-static address, gateway and DNS from the cable modem).
I think there's three options for me:
The remote play thing is a must. My other requirements aren't too outrageous I think. All else I really need are WPA2 encryption, a wireless MAC filter, and the ability for wireless and ethernet clients to live in the same subnet, get DHCP addresses from the same pool and communicate freely. Oh, and it shouldn't be an unstable, insecure piece of shit of course. A well-configured dnsmasq is definitely a bonus, but w/e.
So, GAF, what are my options?
What routers are you folks using to get PS3 => Vita remotely play working without requiring an internet roundtrip?

I think there's three options for me:
- try to flash the original (vintage 2008!) firmware, hope that doesn't brick my router and ends up working better as it does now
Cost: zero; risk: no internet access - Buy an ASUS RT-N15U in good faith that it works as advertised and does everything I want
Cost: ~45; risk: spending 45 on something that doesn't help - Let a GAF member recommend a router that is tested and known to work
Cost: ???; risk: probably none
