This may or may not be applicable, but I installed a rwifi outer on a

To get things working, all I had to do was change the default address
on the wifi router I was installing. That router had a mac clone
feature, but I didn't need to use it.

There are some like that. The original 2-wire DSL
modem/router/wireless router only had room for one ethernet port. Same
with ActionTec GT701. Not every router has room for 4 ethernet ports.
However, the functions are unchanged. They can do NAT to 254 IP
addresses. If you need more ethernet ports, just add an ethernet
switch with 5/8/16/24 ports.
