Perhaps the store you bought it from has a flexible return policy?  I
usually see the WAP54G as being more expensive in stores than the WRT54G
(at $50-60), so even if they hit you with a 15% 'restocking' fee you could
still come out even.  OpenWRT does work on some versions of the WAP54G, but
read the cautions here first: http://openwrt.org/WAP54GHowto

If NAT/internet connection sharing is all you need, then your DSL modem may
already provide that capabilitity.  (Or build an IPCop Firewall/NAT out of
any old Pentium).  I don't use the WRT54G's NAT capabilities for my main
network, as I like the extra flexibility in IPCop.
