You can configure most dd-wrt capable routers as a simple 4 or 5 port switch.

The instructions are nearly identical to those of a Wireless Access Point. The only real difference is that we will be disabling the radio.

To disable the radio, navigate to Basic Wireless settings and set Wireless mode to "Disabled". Click Apply.

Note: You may wish to set up some WPA passphrase on the Wireless SSID, just in case the radio was to turn on briefly or re-enable itself for some odd reason. You can also navigate to Advanced Wireless settings and lower the TX power to 5mW or so. It may help keep your hardware temps cooler.
