Had a few old APs lying around. Installed dd-wrt on a Rosewill RNX-N150RT. I was wondering if I can convert it to a dual wan router. 'ifconfig' and 'brctl show' below.
I have configured 10.10.10.3 as the wan address and 192.168.1.252 as the LAN address. WiFi is disabled. From the output it looks like there are only two Ethernet ports. The four LAN ports cannot be configured independently. Or maybe I am missing something. Will appreciate any help.

The R480T is okish for small number of users. It did not work for us, we switched back to pfsense.
I have a pentium NUC that isn't seeing any use. It has one ethernet and 3 USB ports. If I get a USB to Ethernet adapter and connect the mobile into the other USB port, I guess I should have something that works.
EDIT: Just got to know that pfsense is freebsd based. I am not going to struggle with tethering with freebsd. Will look for a linux solution.
