I got a Fon router back when they started and were giving the wrt54gl(best router linksys ever made for the price, IMOP) I ran it as a phone hotspot for like 2.5 years and it worked fine and connected to anything I threw at it, even my n800...
I have since flashed it to thibor, cause I wanted some of the features(ie: priority, loging, better status lights, etc) its a great thing.

But they have since stopped giving the wrt54gl and now the have the laFonera, I think it may be a buffalo or somthing, I dont know alot about it but I have read that it has been hacked to run the open source firmies.

NOTE:
I've seen reports of folks getting nasty and even threatening letters from the Fon guys because they are subsidizing the price of the router because you promise to participate in the Fon community, they basically want you to be a Fonero or pay the xtra cash, All the Fon firmies send a "heartbeat" back to the Fon router gestapo so they know if you are playing by the rules or not, tho AFAIK it is possible to spoof those "heartbeat" packets to avoid any probs...

That said I never got any type of letter from them when I flashed mine, but that may be due to the legnth of time I played nice-nice.
