Yeah. That's one area I've mellowed on over the past two years. I used to have my 24/7 mini-itx box do the whole firewall/router/AP deal for our network. But it never had a web GUI, and now I've gotten rather addicted to the ease of management that Tomato/USB on a router gives us.

So the firewall/AP/QoS are handled by the WNR3500L with Tomato, though I still do the fileserver/email/dhcp/www/DNS/etc.. by hand on the 24/7 server. For now. smile


How are you liking the router? I'm using IPCop, but the mini-itx board I'm using is a little loud and uses more power than I like.
