In general, I recommend this; OpenWRT is powerful and flexible. I'm 
using it on two routers (Asus WL-500G and Linksys WRT54Gv2.2) for WDS. 
Unfortunately it hasn't been ported to the Atheros SoC that powers your 
router, JK (see http://wiki.openwrt.org/TableOfHardware).

However, I think you can do what you want with your WGT624 and stock 
firmware; see http://kbserver.netgear.com/kb_web_files/n101496.asp . 
Also, if you ever feel the need to really hack the configuration here's 
a guide on how to get a console http://www.beatjunkie.de/Router_eng.htm
