WiFi router

I desperately need quiet wireless router. Currently old Pentium does the work, but it's too noisy and power consuming to be still on. The problem is that I use it for another things as backup, file and print server and those things can't be easilly moved to some generic router.

I thought about buying some VIA EPIA board with fanless power supply or some router supported by OpenWRT which could be later expanded to do at least part of jobs currently done by "router".

At the end I've chosen ASUS WL-500g Deluxe which is reported to be fully supported by OpenWRT. For now it will live with generic firmware, later I will start to experiment with OpenWRT to get out of this hardware as much as possible.
