Thanks for the idea and that's exactly what I did in the beginning and it worked fine. Two windows pc's, three iPhones. But with three younger boys and visiting friends and relatives whom I allow on the LAN,I wanted to minimize any circumvention so my router hands out OpenDNS. It's too bad. For its sheer size Att should provide a simple feature like this.

What are you thoughts on DD-WRT? I am contemplating flashing my four Linksys WRT54G's to it. (one router and three WAPs).

I use DD-WRT on a Linksys WRT54GL router. Make SURE that you follow these specific directions for this setup (as already stated above):

Not only does OpenDNS work flawlessly, but you can set the times that each MAC address can access the network. My kids' internet goes dead every evening at 10pm, and it's off the rest of the night. DD-WRT makes this very simple to do.
