If he REALLY wants something to play with...why not a REAL router? Kits from this website are cheap(ish), solid, and you choose the OS:http://store.netgate.com/Desktop-Kits-C82.aspx(there are many more of these sites). Just add a wireless AP or one of their add-on cards and you have a pretty nice router. Throw pfsense (http://www.pfsense.org/) on there and you can do much more than *-WRT. -Mike On Mon, Aug 5, 2013 at 12:59 PM, Robert P. J.
