Those $50 devices are generally MIPS, with 32mb of ram and a single
100mb port, if your lucky the switch chip might do vlans.
A quick look over the OpenWRT wiki shows this as only arm based option
with 4 ports.

There are much more powerful MIPS systems such as the new C7 Archer
based systems like this: http://wiki.openwrt.org/toh/tp-link/tl-wdr7500
Well I learned something.
DON'T get a wnr854t; turns out they have real power problems:

I am working with the ebay seller on a rma. :(
after a lot of advice at openwrt, I am going with the tp-wdr3600.
I have learned a lot about the LAN port design on these boxes, and how
really the SCO has only one or two ethernet ports; all the rest is done
with fancy drivers to handle each separately. See
http://wiki.openwrt.org/toh/linksys/wrt54g for how linksys did it. It
would be nice to see such designs implemented and supported for arm.
