I went with the WRT54GL in the end. It was $10 more than the Buffalo
but there were some reviews that said Buffalo was maybe less reliable.
I won't do the OpenWRT thing for a while but the 54GL is supported. It
also does WPA2 even though Newegg said only WPA. So I have no
complaints yet.
I guess the DHCP could be more configurable but you get what you pay
for. The port triggering happens to be helpful for bacula so that's
kind of a nice surprise.
Thanks again Jim and Kevin for the advice.
