I've successfully used generic WRT54G routers in this capacity by All the other replies I received so far (including from people who actually do that) indicate that it's doable with the 604T, so right now it's my primary candidate. > turning off the DHCP service for the local LAN and plugging the outgoing > LAN cable into one of the LAN ports, but if you get a WRT54GL (or WRT54G Yes, it's very tempting to have yet another Linux box to play around with but all I need right now is a wireless access point to take to a trip with me (and then use at home when I return) and if I could upgrade my ADSL modem to 2+ on the way without much extra expense then great, but the 54GL will not give me the other part (ADSL 2+), will cost the same as the 604T offer I have on hand, and I won't have time to play with it anyway.
