You need to be more specific than "filter/route". More than likely, the four switch ports on the WRT54G are merely switch ports. It would be the same as if you plugged everything into a single large switch. Obviously, this won't provide you with any way to filter between ports, but you won't be able to do that anyway without some very expensive equipment. If you need more filtering than standard NAT provides between the computers and the rest of the network, then you will probably want to build a custom router running Linux or BSD. If you need bandwidth management, I would look at FreeBSD, as dummynet is far easier to setup than anything I've seen for Linux. tc is horribly complicated. > If so, is anyone availible who I could get together with and have some help in getting > it working the first time?
