Good luck! I'll be interested in hearing how it goes.

The Buffalo is capable of wifi, but:
1. It's previous-generation, 2.4GHz-only, while the WNDR4300 is
   dual-band.
2. I've found wifi to be unreliable on them in the past. Which is sad
   and frustrating, since they're among the relatively few that use
   wifi chips with published specs and open-source drivers.
3. I think it's very worthwhile to separate the border router from the
   wifi access point, for all the reasons I mentioned before.

Definitely worth a try!
