I am using similar board to build a router but with debian minimal
installation. The setup is as follows
telco
modem -(wired/DMZ)-> debian(router/firewall) -> switch (unmgd) -> network0
| |
| +-> switch (unmgd) -> network1
+-> wireless
The advantage here is that all wireless are outside the firewall. In your
case it would be
telco
modem -(wired/DMZ)-> debian(router/firewall) -> switch (unmgd) -> network0
|
+-> wireless network
and the board suggested will fit the need from the specs
