The discussion here is enlightening:

The quick summary is that the WNR3500L uses Broadcom closed source
drivers, so the kernel is still stuck in the 2.4 series. A better
choice for an open router might be the Linksys WRT160NL, which uses
Atheros. Apparently openwrt has added support for the WRT160NL.
Perhaps Russell can tell us more.
