I picked mine up from CC last week, sadly I haven't even had the chance to remove the shrink wrap - just way too busy with work at the moment.

I hope to have a go at it this weekend or next at the latest. My WRT600N's are starting to fail, so some new hardware is overdue.

I'm hoping that I'll be able to re-purpose some of the OpenWRT/Marvell efforts from a work project I have done over the past few months for my home project.

It also looks like a massive electricity hog.

I cannot find one iota of information on power consumption, anywhere.

Since I swapped to Asus routers, I've not looked back.

I did that too. I really liked my WRT54GL but at some point I wanted gigabit wired ports and wireless N. Thats when I upgraded to an Asus RT-N16. Tomato works awesome on the N16 so I've been pretty happy.

I live in an apartment and I'm getting alot of interference in my place, so I've been considering upgrading to a router that does 5ghz but it's not vital. I've hardwired everything I could, so only the laptops and phones need wifi.

I was looking at the rt-n66ac as my next router.

I never had a big reason to leave linksys, they didn't seem to have a tomato compatible router out when I bought the rt-n16, so I'm not against going back to linksys if they put out a quality product when I'm in the market to buy one.

So far I have not managed to wring more than 15w out of it, typical idle load is between 12w - 13w. Sample time was only ~90 mins or so, I'll try to give it more of a go this weekend. The unit is a lot bigger than I expected though.

But rest assured that it consumes at least SEVERAL iotas of power.
