Well, if you load aftermarket firmware (HyperWRT, DD-WRT, etc), you could use the radio in a standard WRT54G to be a wireless client to any other wireless router you wanted, then it basically becomes four wired Ethernet ports you can put anywhere you want, and I think it even keeps everything in one network (though I'm not sure on that point - never used it in that mode)
At that point, a WRT54G can become a "4 port wireless gateway" with a little more smarts than your average gateway.
But, just to clarify, the Vonage WRTP54G is NOT (unfortunately) capable of such a feat. It lacks a "wireless client" mode. Same with the WRT54G's native firmware, and the WRT54G V5 which cannot take third party firmware, of course. |
