also another thing to consider installing in the master/router1 section is a bandwidth control app (yes thats STM but YOUR in control of how it gets used, when and for what, and your the one paying for your service so thats fine) so that the cafe users dont inadvertently take all the limited upload/download bandwidth away from the office LAN use, or the office from the cafe if you prefer....

you could use one of the 3rd party firmwares for the wireless router and use the throttling app that way if you prefer, but on the linux firewall PC is probably better and easyer to control/log etc.

you could even probably make a slax booted USB2 key and put these firewall/STM apps etc on that if you dont want a HD/cd installed and have a junk PC that usb/network boots.
