 The Actiontec datasheet indicates "full bridge control". So if you are
 lucky it will be able to bridge the wifi packets to an internal box (ie
 Squid box) instead of just out the WAN uplink. This is the killer
 problem with most wifi+router integrated boxes.

 I've usually had to get a second box and physically wire Squid between
 the uplink gateway box and the wifi device. The key points are getting
 both wired LAN and wifi packets to the Squid box without using NAT/NAPT
 on the router device, and then getting the Squid packets past that out
 to the uplink.

 Thats my /3c worth. Sorry it could not be more helpful.

 If you DO have any kind of success, we would like to hear about it.
