Is there any way to configure the Actiontec mi424wr to block all p2p traffic?  The various programs for p2p are capable of switching ports as needed, so there is no way that I can see to do it by blocking ports.

you can set up advanced filtering.

Set up Advanced Filtering
With the BHR's advanced filtering options, you can prevent a particular computer on the BHR network from accessing a protocol, such as a game, website, or application.

1.    Open a Web browser and enter "http://192.168.1.1" in the Address bar. Then, press the "Enter" key on the keyboard.
2.    In the "Login" screen, enter the BHR's username and password (default login: username – "admin"; password – "password" or "password1"), then click OK.
3.    In the next screen, click Security.
4.    Select Advanced Filtering from the left side the "Security" screen.
5.    Advanced filtering can be used on any connection controlled by the BHR, including Network (Home/Office), Broadband Connection (Ethernet and Coax), Ethernet, etc. In this procedure, we will implement advanced filtering for Network (Home/Office). Under the heading ‚"Network (Home/Office) Rules," click Add.
6.    Select the computer to filter in both the "Source Address‚" and "Destination Address" sections of the screen from the appropriate drop-down lists.
7.    Select the protocol to be filtered from the "Rule Name" section drop-down list. Activate "Drop" in the "Operation" section by clicking the appropriate radio button. Finally, click Apply at the bottom of the screen.
8.    When the previous screen (Security) reappears, note that the rule has been added under the heading "Network (Home/Office) Rules." Click OK at the bottom of the screen to apply the changes made. The selected computer will be blocked from accessing the selected protocol
