Ask HN: Secure Router Suggestions Please?

3 points by bicv ↗ HN
It seems every consumer router (D-link, Netgear, Linksys) suffer from serious vulnerabilities which often lead to full access. I can put up with vulnerabilities in my operating system which I can mitigate with anti-virus, personal firewall, etc., but I can't put up with serious vulnerabilities in my home router.

I am looking to purchase a secure router. I can't seem to find a secure router with a solid reputation of security? Any suggestions?

Anything you can flash OpenWRT on?

Yeah, I think this is the only way to get something that actually has a chance of being a) secure out of the box and b) likely to get security updates over the lifetime of the hardware.
