While I replied of list, RouterOS (Mikrotik) can do 100meg in many of
their inexpensive devices. WE have a fiber loop here running our office
that we can pull 70+ meg and its a 200 buck unit! We actually make a
device called a PowerRouter, these are x86 versions, vs 680mhz mips
processors. These can route at GigE speeds. Not to mention you get all
of the firewalling, traffic management, QoS, etc with it as well.
Just another option. =20

I believe its possible to install DD-WRT on the MI424WR.

You might have luck with running pure Linux on that rather then Jungo's=20
commercial linux abomination that Verizon uses.
