I've been using dreamplugs. They are nicely done. They aren't tiny like a wall wart, more like a tall paper back book, but I've happily replaced all of my OpenWRT based systems and won't look back.

Get the JTAG/UART device, it will save your ass when you render the poor thing unbootable with a kernel replacement. There appears to be a network boot attempt in the power up, but I haven't seen documentation for it.

One caveat: The wifi range is ok, but not top notch, and when running as an access point it can only support 8 devices, which isn't much when people show up with a phone-ipad-laptop bag.



Is the 8 device limit a hardware or software limitation?


I think it is in the firmware loaded into the wireless hardware. I browsed through the driver source and didn't find anything to account for the limit there.
