Hi Chris, Two questions...
*) Are the ethernet ports separately addressable? Or are they just (internally) one port and a 4-port switch? I.e. can I (using dd-wrt) assign separate IP addresses to each one? *) Suppose I decide to go the whole hog and re-do my wireless configuration (reluctance to do this is the main reason behind my request for a wired router). I see that there is also a "Wireless-N" version, called "WRT160NL", that is also "Linux compatible". Does that mean it can also run dd-wrt? Thanks!
