While I have the TP-Link 1043nd running Gargoyle. It's performance is not the greatest. The CPU is somewhat underpowered to make Gargoyle "fly". If I had to purchase a replacement router that was better, what's the best performing Gargoyle router available?
I was thinking the WNDR3700 v2 might be the best bet but what does the forum think?

Did that on Friday, so far so good. With no QoS the 3700v2 runs at 100 Mbits down, flat chat in other words! With QoS enabled for the VoIP I have, there is a substantial hit with max at 55 MBits sec. Perhaps the QoS in OpenWRT will be improved at some point.
There are also no dropouts while running Wireless N. So I suspect the 1043nd had either hardware problems or just wasn't up to the task.

It is and I also have one, however if you want to use qos at the speeds pm has it can push it - there was another thread further down that discussed if a small pc could be built using gargoyle to handle it.
What I don't know is whether qos is really required at these types of speeds - until Internet requirements start pushing the faster lines.
