The Netgear WGT634U is a somewhat older router but has more flash and
RAM than many newer ones. 200 MHz MIPS CPU, 8MB flash, 32MB ram, USB
2.0 port, serial port, Atheros mini-PCI card, programmable 5-port
switch.

Yes, but then you can run a real distro. I used to run Debian (vanilla
kernel + some openwrt patches) on a wgt634u. It happily booted and ran
off a cheap USB flash drive for several years. Never had to use more
than 50% of the 512MB available IIRC, no problems with the ext3
filesystem on the drive.
This little box was running bind, exim4, dhcpd, a netfilter
nat/firewall, and some other stuff, with about 12MB free ram. I did
have to run exim in queuing mode so that it wouldn't fork to deliver
incoming mail immediately and run out of memory :)
73,
Stelios, M0GLD.
