What model of router is it? Have you seen OpenWRT (http://openwrt.org/)?
It's a Solwise SAR-600E. Its based on AR7 (http://www.linux-mips.org/wiki/AR7)
I have looked at OpenWRT but wasn't clear whether it would work on this router (right chipset I think but not listed as supported).
I've built, modified and installed OpenWRT on a handful of routers. I believe others on list have as well.
Sounds like I'm in the right place!
What routers have you used? I don't need anything beyond basic ADSL+router (ie no wireless needed) but I'm not especially tied to the Solwise kit (we just use them for other stuff and the SAR-600E is cheap). NB: I'm prepared to risk breaking my SAR-600E, its only for testing some ideas anyway.
