They certainly are. Depending on the exact make/model, every single port (all 5) can be configured as a separately routable inteface if you want. (Yes there are 5 - the WAN port is just configured by default on its own VLAN as the outside interface) The only thing to keep in mind is that traffic _routed_ between separate VLANs is trunked through a single (internal) 100Mb port. Traffic on the same segment is fully switched though. > I'm very impressed by the OpenWRT software -- the packaging > is really well thought out and it is a joy to use.

It's really nice to see a debian/apt style system. eg 'ipkg install nmap' and it downloads and installs automatically.
