Your best bet here would be to use OpenWRT. DD-wrt doesn't have port based group switching on Atheros units, openwrt does most times, but its all command line config, so i'd hit their website and study up.

Since the Cisco/Linksys EA4500 is not Linux-compatible, despite major past problems with Netgear, I find myself looking at the 3800 to replace the feature-challenged 3400.

Questions:

1. In the wireless access control area - may I limit the access of specific devices, assigning time-segments based on mac-address, as in Tomato on the 3500L?

2. Is anyone using this via Linux?

3. Is there a plan to continue development of OpenWRT Backfire or is 10.03.1 the end-of-the-line?

Thanks!

Practically anything is possible with openwrt. But maybe you won't find it in a web-interface.
I have done time-based access on my wrt54g with openwrt more than 8(?) years ago for the neighbours son (as I like to have open access points). He tended to play games at night using my access point and his grades were degrading.
Enough of that talk. The secret is just to use cron for that.
Make a script that enables access for a set, and a script that disables access for a set. And use cron to start one at a certain time, and the other at another time. There is no web interface for that. But then again, it's 5...10 lines of editing.

Hi, I purchased the same router and am trying to do the same thing with my router (vlans on different ports) but the problem i have is discerning what ports go to what) it has ports 1-5 then cpu, i thought i read somewhere that port 1 is wan port 2-5 is lan and cpu is internal?

if someone could please explain it or point me to where this info is i would greatly appreciate it.
