[PLUG] Survey: what make/model router do you use at home?

Galen Seitz and I are working on a project where we encountered a "bug"
in our hardware/software when connecting to certain off-the-shelf wifi
routers, involving the 4way handshake associated with RSN/WPA2.  We are
trying to estimate the probability that customers are going to encounter
this in the field.  So far, we know of 4 make/models that are
problematic and 4 make/models that aren't.

Please answer the following questions to the best of your ability:

 1) what is the make/model of the wifi device that you use in your
    house?  none is an acceptable answer.

 2) about how old is it (rough guess is fine)?

 2) is it running firmware from the vendor or have you installed a 3rd
    party firmware like DDwrt, OpenWrt or similar? 

 3) Do you now or have you ever exhibited any interest in model trains?
    (this is to weight your answer heavier for the target demographic)

The general idea is once we have a guess at what are common devices, we
can obtain access to an example to test against off of ebay or from a
willing volunteer.

You can respond here or mail me directly at wifisurvey at klickitat.com
and I can compile aggregate results.

I appreciate your help!
