Comment (by anonymous):
To everyone who needs that functionality:
You can just use a normal 64bit computer with 2 gigabit LAN connectors and
a cheap gigabit switch. You can run openwrt on this 64bit computer. You
can drop the power usage of it up to 10-15W in total by using efficient
hardware. If you would like to have wifi - just connect a wifi
pcie/pci/usb card to this computer and enable it in the openwrt image you
are running.
Yes, it would be nice if we could use cheap router with 5W of power usage.
But thats not that a huge problem. Its just bit more power usage. Thats
not worth the huge amount of work that have to be spend into developing
that.
