first i am glad you got it working.
Now why would I suggest it? for your setup you may not need it. But with the router it is possible to do QOS. This allows you to prioritize network traffic. I have mine setup so that http, https, ssh, and ack have the highest priority and the ports i use for torrents have the lowest priority. This allows me to run torrents at all times without slowing down web surfing and my ssh (which i use at work as a tunnel
). I do this not only for myself but because of the roomates i have. It isn't very kind of me to take up all the bandwidth and slow them down. That is why I do it. you may not need this.
