I have whatever CL said would work--wireless + 4 LAN ports.  I can look it up when I get a chance.

I have one complaint, which is that it doesn't loop internal traffic back to the external IP.  So I 
have to use a different address for my web server if I'm inside/outside.

Otherwise:

I have those.  The modem port forwards those 3(4) ports.

Sounds like that is possible but I haven't tried bridging.  The 678 will do that.  Unless you're 
switching to a speed (and thus protocol) the 678 can't handle why do you want to change?  (I did 
everything else you've listed on a 678 as well.)

These are also easy.
