I've got this Microsoft MN-700 that I've had for a few years. It works just fine, but has really limited functionality (especially when it comes to its firewall). I was thinking about biting on a Linksys WRT54GL for better security both through my wired as well as wireless networks. I've also read that it has the possibility of supporting a a print server, which would be great for me.
Has anyone made a similar jump? I'd like to know if this is really worth it or not in terms of security mostly. The MN-700 is no longer supported by Microsoft, so there won't be any new firmware coming out. I get the feeling that as time goes on, security on a non-supported product really becomes less and less effective, especially since I can't choose what ports to open through the MN-700.
Anyways, any advice is appreciated.
