At least if you don't need dual gigabit eth, micro SD, and openWRT

I came across Elecom & Buffalo travel router casings with single RJ45 earlier this year and was surprised at how small they are even compared to the Edimax BR-6258n. The Buffalo WMR-433W isn't that much bigger than some men's smart watches, bluetooth adapter, or an oversized SD card reader. I'm quite tempted get one for ~ $15 USD on a future trip except I want one with 1GB eth, microSD slot, and OpenVPN support. Yes, I'm being picky about the Holy Grail. Google Translated reviews also state the Buffalo's admin UI password can't be changed. Some of the reviews for smaller units note instability due to heat issues. I don't know how to get around overheating - fill a small ziplock with ice & some water, zip shut, double bag, and sit the router on top?
