As a result of a conversation at the Tuesday meeting regarding power consumption, I now am shopping around for a firmware firewall/router/DHCP server for my home network, to replace an old Pentium-II machine running SmoothWall Express 2.0.
The Cisco/Linksys brand was recommended to me. I have an ADSL connection to the Internet. I have an ADSL modem and an external 10/100 Ethernet switch, and no plans for wireless. So if I end up purchasing a new router, I likely would choose a no-frills unit such as the Linksys BEFSR11. Perhaps you have upgraded to a wireless firewall/router and have in the closet collecting dust an old wired router which would be suitable for my application.
