WRT54G is a SOHO product which satisfies only the home or small office
needs....
It can control the internet access based on some parameters like Time
,date etc...
It has both NAT and Firewall...
It is a TOY, at best, and while it meets some requirements to be a
firewall it does not provide the protection that a typical firewall
appliance would/does.
The unit is a toy.
Dial back the clock only a handful of years though, that hardware plus
open source firmware has functionality only the most austere of
"firewalls" at the time had.
It's all semantics.
YES, pedants, we get that the more expensive boxes are better, but
whether something's a firewall or not is clearly open to a broad range
of definition.
