Precisely why I need to purchase something functional and easy to
set up, for now.

Very interesting thread, as I have not been hacking on routers
for a few years, since my consulting gig ended.....

I am going to get back to some router hacking, as soon as some of the 
multi_core Arm64 bit SOC chips are affordable with some very
fast ram (ddr 3,4,5).   It's taking forever for those chips
to become available at reasonable street pricing. I'm tired
of the run of the mill embedded micros running embedded linux.

Besides, my home office network is meager on the bandwidth needs
at this time.

Yep. I'm too lazy to expend the energy to figure it out, but,
there's only a few folks hacking on mips 64 these days who 
would bother to post to the gentoo_wiki. Not a big deal.
