Re: [PLUG] Embedded 3-Port Firwall?

Microtik has some nice gear and a pretty robust OS to go along with the gear, other than that I echo the comments above.

If you check the respective web sites for OpenWRT, DDWRT, etc. , they all have device compatibility lists. You should find multiple devices that will meet your needs. 

Personally, I use a TP-Link TL-WR1043ND. It has 1gb interfaces, USB, and Wifi. I was running Asterisk on it for a while, but now it pretty much just does the typical firewall + wifi routine.

I'm currently using an old Linux box as a firewall/router.  I'm running
"shorewall" in a 3-interface configuration (WAN, DMZ, & Local zones).
(http://shorewall.net/three-interface.htm)  This system works great, but I'm
looking for something that consumes less energy, so thought about loading
OpenWRT or some other embedded Linux that would have the same ease-of-use as
shorewall.  That way I would run a simple router instead of a 10-year old PC.

Has anybody created such a device?  Any advice to offer?
