I have been thinking of running Tomato firmware on my wrt54g in order to increase the range of the wifi and using QOS for streaming video around the house. One post I read mentioned that heat might be an issue and since I have not done any modding or soldering for months it seemed like a perfect little project. The 60mm fan and rheostat is total overkill but I really hate the high pitch whine of a laptop fan. I thought of soldering the fan straight to the board but that would have meant cutting the wires next time I want to open it up. This way I have fan control and quick disconnects. I am not going to post screen shots of setting up Tomato because there are much better tutorials than I can make with my limited experience with it. Bigger pictures are here.

   Hey, if you wanted to set up two or more wireless zones, could you do it in administration one this router, or would you need separate routers?
