What's wrong with just connecting to their admin screens at their

I have 15 devices, and it's a pain to maintain config changes by logging

I strongly advise _against_ cheap consumer-grade gear

Well, the WRT54xx series aren't the 'worst' cheapo WL equipment that
have been made...?

They are nonetheless consumer-grade, and (IMHO at least) unsuitable for
enterprise-grade service. (The cost of dealing with consumer-grade
devices in an enterprise environment will usually overwhelm the purchase
cost savings. You're already running up such cost.) If you must use
them, then I suggest you look into running DD-WRT firmware (if you have
supported models), which may give you what you want.
