I use Fresh Tomato as the firmware on my router, but I don't see anything in the documentation about "usteer". I'll search for a different term. I'm sure they have something, because they have a lot of active development.

> dedicated for routers with Broadcom chipset

You see, the first thing I look for when I want to buy a new AP is for it to NOT have a Broadcom chipset (https://openwrt.org/meta/infobox/broadcom_wifi)

Can you recommend a decent AP without Broadcom? I've used FreshTomato exclusively for many years and haven't shopped for other alternatives.
