A Feast of Linux-Based Routers

DD-WRT

DD-WRT provides all the usual features of wireless routers. It also features the typical features found in firmware replacements. Like other comparable firmware replacements, DD-WRT can operate like a normal wireless router or can be put into three different modes: Client, Bridge, and Repeater. Additionally, it supports VLANs and virtual SSIDs. It also features QoS, hotspot functions, a VPN client and server, and much more. DD-WRT also has additional features not found in other firmwares, like support for PCs.

MikroTik RouterOS

Though the code is not open and it is more of a commercial offering, RouterOS from MikroTik is Linux-based. It installs onto and turns regular PCs into a enterprise-level router. It gives you all the necessary features, including routing, firewall, bandwidth management, wireless access point, backhaul link, hotspot gateway, VPN server, and more.

ZeroShell

I've also done tutorials on ZeroShell for LinuxPlanet, covering several topics: introduction and setup, setting up RADIUS server for Enterprise Wi-Fi encryption, configuring captive portal, Internet gateway and router, and creating bonded VPNs for higher throughput and failover.
