MiFi admin lacks some geek features

though my recent testing with a MiFi has me smiling ear to ear, i am probably known as cradlepoint-fanboy #1 and want to point out that the phs300 web admin does allow for a whole lot more geek-tweaking than the MiFi.

Not that these cradlepoint features will mean much to a majority, but for the geeks out there who want these features, you won�t get these features with a MiFi (that i�ve found, anyway):

remote administration (allowing others to access web admin via internet)
DMZ ('demilitarized' zone - allows a machine to have unfiltered access)
Dynamic DNS support (allows router to be addressable canonically)
automatic wifi channel selection (allows router to select best wifi channel for the area)
WDS Support (wireless distribution system daisy-chains routers for greater WiFi range)
OpenDNS support (superior DNS resolution and website filtering using DNS)
Traffic shaping (allowing prioritization of certain connections)
Simplified gaming support (quicker setup and easier support)
Scheduled access rules (allow/disallow traffic by time period)
Hotspot �billboard� (advertise your company, or post special notices)
