issues with other OpenWRT supported routers due to the binary blob. A
binary blob cannot be improved for BQL support, so you wouldn't be getting
maximum benefits out of the money you spent. The TL-WR841N has an atheros
chipset, whose code is open source. For broadcom-based OpenWRT, you'll be
stuck with a binary blob, and no BQL support...

We don't watch MyT TV here :) Doing the bridge mode setup will remove the
MyT TV functionality.

However, I believe that you can also do the 2 layer NAT setup that I
described as an alternative, if you want to keep the MyT TV option.
