Does a router with these features exist?
- 802.11n
- Gigabit ports
- Simultaneous 2.4/5GHz networks
- Printing/scanning server (Canon PIXMA MX300)
- If possible, third-party firmware capability and wall mounting

Not that I'm aware of - at least in terms of having the capacity to act as a printing/scanning server. Most printers that are coming out now are network-ready unto themselves, so I don't think that a lot of router makers are adding printer/scanner functionality to their routers.

I think maybe..... coming.. http://www.smallnetbuilder.com/wireless/wireless-news/31095-buffalo-to-ship-dd-wrt-routers-partners-with-novastor but not sure about your printer. I use network printers which connect via cat5 cable. The dd-wrt add a lot of features to there routers. I have been using a buffalo routers of 4+ years and has served me good. I have been holding off wanting a gigE ports with HP and buffalo has that.

DD-Wrt is a bit new on this device still in the firmware testing phase, take a read of the dd-wrt thread an see if it still appeals to you.

These two are just two routers i have had my eye on for a while now. -
Thanks, the Asus looks pretty good. It actually doesn't scan either lol.
