This sucks. The WD device would have been perfect.
My
prior experience with this class of device has convinced me that the next time I have to do this, I'll add simply add DD-WRT to an old router to get the job done.
Originally I bought one of those kinds of devices and it seemed to work, but my entire network had intermittent flaky troubles which all went away as soon as I ripped the thing back out again.
I think you're right, Tony. Even then, it's difficult to check DD-WRT compatability beforehand. For example, my favorite inexpensive AC routers are TP-Link's Archer C5 or C9. The C5 can sometimes be found at Microcenter for $59. DD-WRT's router lookup tool doesn't show the C5, but the wiki kinda hints that it's supported? Maybe? There's the DD-WRT I know and love, creating confusion...
