You miss my point - I don't WANt a huge box with fans and hard drives and stuff - I want that tiny little fanless box to do my routing - I think there's a HUGe market for this, and all they'd have to do is change the WAN port to support full duplex 10/100 just like the other ports, and it could work as either. Thanks charles Quoting David Bottrill :

The review I saw says the actual forwarding speed in tests tops out at about 3Mbps, which is more than good enough for my 512K connection. If you want a cheap router download Freeseco www.freesco.org and install it on just about the oldest PC you can find and I guarantee you will have it up and running in 1/2 hour.

In case anyone else is interested, I just found this on Linksys' web site under the specs:

Speed: WAN Router: 10Mbps (10BaseT Ethernet) LAN: 10Mbps (10BaseT Ethernet) or 100Mbps (100BaseTX Fast Ethernet)

So, this little router will work fine as a LAN router as well, only the speed between networks is limited to 10Mb...

It sure would be nice if they would up the speed on this port and start advertising this thing as both a WAN OR LAN router...

Oh well, it'll work for what I need it for (isolating a test LAN), so saves me the money and time of buying or building a router just for this purpose.

Have you checked to see at what speed the WAN port connects/links to your hub/switch? Does it link at 10mb or 100mb (or even 100/FullDuplex)?

Thanks

Yes, and it can be setup as a DHCP server. I'm using it right now.

I'm just curious - could these be used as LAN Routers?
