I've read that a good technique is to (1) cut a template out of hardboard or MDF, (2) rough cut the work piece 1/8" larger than the template, (3) attach the template and use a flush router bit to cut the workpiece flush to the template.

The router I'm using is a straight router with a bearing at the top. I'm a novice at using the router, so any advice is appreciated.

How can I keep the forwarded ports though my router going to the same computer? I have a home network. The router has port forwarding, which you set by setting which IP address the ports are forwarded to. But as the computers come and go and are restarted, the router keeps assigning them different addresses, leading to the ports forwarding to different machines all the time, which I'm constantly manually correcting. I've tried setting up the computers with manual IP settings, or using DHCP with a manual IP address, but neither one will work- they only work when configured to use DHCP, and then the addresses keep changing. An old router I had let you reserve an IP address and always assign it to the same MAC address, so the same machine always had a static local IP, but my Linksys Wireless router doesn't appear to offer that. Any idea?
