I read the reviews for low-end devices and they all seem to be universally 
awful.  I ended up with a F5D7234-4 v4 Belkin.  The Web UI is surprisingly not 
bad.  Didn't attempt pass-through.

Needed it _now_ and it was on-sale according to salescircular.com, or would 
have ordered something better based on say, amazon or newegg reviews.

It supports AP only mode, from the UI.

It supports a DMZ for one IP.

I don't see any evidence it supports straight up pass-through, though;  I 
think the DMZ option will do the same thing, as it gives the DMZ host the 
public IP of your connection.

The WiFi doesn't drop all the time like the Linksys that seemed to be end-of-
live it replaced that eventually just died.

Honestly, I like my DSL modem at the office:

Cool, but won't help you. ;)
