I am a fan of the Linksys router. I am currently using the 4 port router
dsl/cable switch with wireless AP to support my home network. I have always
supported linksys products because I have never had a problem with their
products (all my NIC's are Linksys as well) and they have always had support for
linux. The web interface is easy to use and allows for up to 10 port ranges to
be opened for services running on your boxen. Make sure you get the latest
firmware patch for any router you get, they just found a good DOS attack in the
older Linksys firmware.
Another cool thing about the linksys router is it has it's own dhcp server built
in and has an uplink port so you can expand your network as you grow. The
wireless AP part of my router allows for up to 32 machines to request access.
HTH,
Corey
