    Should be.....

    I have the RT314 (older model) router, and there is two ways to access this, telnet and web-based. The guy probably isn't aware that there are telnet progs available for the mac, and they even make browsers for us Apple folk!

    DHCP and Airport Acces

    Does anyone know if I plug another hub into this thing if I can connect and serve IP addresses to more than 4 computers by DHCP? Also, are there ways to limit airport access to my computers as opposed to the neighborhood's?

    ..The unit will not be 128bit encrypted/secure. WEP doesn't do 128bit..Actually newer versions of WEP do 128bit. True, the Airport only does 40bit, but this can do 128bit.

    ..Yes you can plug in a hub to connect more computers. Usually you can plug up approx 255 hosts...You can use several types of authentication to make sure you don't serve the entire neighborhood. Although, you may need a PC to set it up according to the manufacturer.
