If this works out I will post it. If I can find a router or switch with a USB connection, I think it would work. I would like to keep the local network wired. Probably can make it work if eth0 is wireless. I was wrong in the previous post about the u/d rate. What I was seeing was the transfer from my iphone to my laptop. Sorry.
