Some of the DD-WRT firmwares, Tomato etc have the ability to sniff everything crossing your network. I've played with them when I had roommates to keep them from downloading virus and illegal music programs. You can also play with DD-WRT and use it like a full commercial firewall and block adds at the network entry point. Mince will even block all Java applets if I am feeling extra paranoid. Link Only thing to be wary of is that you have to match the firmware of your router EXACTLY with the exact software loads.
