the linksys 3700 has two ports on the main processor, but one of those
ports is connected to a 4-port switch that is able to do vlans so you
could partition it up and use all 5 ports independantly. It does have both
2.4 and 5G wireless, but you can turn those off.

My ancient SMC7008VBR 8-port wired (not wireless) home router died as a
result of hurricane Irene. I've temporarily replaced it with it's
predecessor, a 4-port SMC7004VBR, but that was underpowered and on it's last
legs 8 years ago when I replaced it. So I'm in the market for a new wired
(not wireless) router.
I'd like to find something that can run DD-WRT or OpenWRT.
It needs to be low power (run for a couple of hours on a dedicated
so/ho UPS);
I don't need or want Wi-Fi in this application;
I'd like it to support 2 or more LANs, jointly NATed onto one WAN
port;
I'd like it to be inexpensive (about $100 or less, but I'd go as high
as $200 if necessary);
and I'd like to be able to support IPv4-NAT/NPT, IPv6, and simple
firewall rules.
I've googled "wired router" and searched the OpenWRT and DD-WRT websites for
hardware recommendations, but everything I find is oriented to WiFi, and has
at most 2 ethernet ports (one WAN and one LAN, plus lots of groovy WiFi that
I don't want or need)
As a last resort, I'm willing to build my own from parts (e.g. a
routerstation Pro or ALIX board and OpenWRT) but a commercial solution would
be preferable.
Anybody got a suggestion?
Thanks!
Rick
