This is from my desktop which is connected via a wireless N bridge to the WRT160N (which then connects to the Alix) there are 802.11G clients active on the network at the moment

load ballancing, looking at the upload rate, i wonder if its perhaps "bonding" both DSL or you are using non consumer lines at that rate
why didnt you just get a mini PCi wireless card for that
ALIX2D3 Board with 3 LAN and 1 miniPCI ?

?
i also wonder how that
CPU: 500 MHz AMD Geode LX800 maches up to the #
14 CPU Atheros AR7161 MIPS 24K running @
680MHz
with such a large price difference, i think id still go for the Mips RouterStation 3x LAN, 3x miniPCI, 32 MB RAM motherboards.
but then you do have the far larger generic ram and the x86 compatability although again iv not used any Geode to date so cant say how they run or what specs they/it have, SIMD ?, MMU ?, micro core engines etc... is it in essence a 486Dx....
remembering the higher CPU clocks dont matter as much...., as they are different CPU familys, overall data throughput processing does though OC.
